  1. Uh oh. The covers are coming back on. It's drizzling.

    We'll keep you posted.

  2. Good news! The rain has stopped and the intricate dance that is the folding of the huge covers in Colombo is under way.

    The umpires are, however, spending a lot of time staring at and stomping on the outfield.

  3. The rain is coming down heavily in Colombo and all of the covers are on.

    You'll be the first to know as soon as we have any updates.

    Don't worry - there's plenty of cricket content across the BBC Sport website, including:

  4. SA 6-1

    The sunshine in Colombo was short-lived.

    Play has been halted for rain after just two overs.

    South Africa are 6-1, with Tazmin Brits out for a duck.

    WICKET

    Brits c Natalia b Fatima 0 (SA 5-1)

    A wicket falls in the second over in Colombo.

    Tazmin Brits gets an edge on a swinging delivery from Fatima Sana and is caught in the slips by Natalia Pervaiz.

    She departs for her third duck of the tournament.

    'It's a big wicket!' - Brits is caught by Natalia Pervaiz off the bowling of Fatima Sana

  6. Play is about to get under way in Colombo, where the sun is shining,

    Captain Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits are in the middle for South Africa.

    Sadia Iqbal will open the bowling for Pakistan.

  7. Pakistan captain Fatima Sana: "We're going to bowl first. It's looked like a good pitch for the bowlers and the weather is good, so we will try.

    "We will try to play good cricket against South Africa and be calm."

    South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt: "Not the worst thing to bat first. We've done really well chasing. The last time we batted first [against England], it didn't go to plan. We're already qualified for the semi-finals, so it's good to test ourselves against that."

  8. Teams

    South Africa XI: Laura Wolvaardt (c), Tazmin Brits, Sune Luus, Annerie Dercksen, Marizanne Kapp, Karabo Meso (wk), Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Nondumiso Shangase, Ayabonga Khaka, Nonkululeko Mlaba.

  9. Pakistan win the toss and bowl

    Fatima Sana correctly calls heads and Pakistan will bowl first in Colombo.

  10. Welcome!

    Hello there. Day 22 of the Women's World Cup sees South Africa take on Pakistan in Colombo.

    South Africa have already qualified for the semi-finals. Winless Pakistan need a victory to keep their slim hopes of reaching the last four alive.

    Of course, in Colombo, there's always a third factor at play... the rain, something commentator Alex Hartley has been quite critical of.

    Will we beat the weather today? Stay tuned to find out.
