    There's still a slight drizzle lingering over Navi Mumbai.

    But in a positive update, the ground staff are back on the field and are taking some of the covers off at the moment.

    And the umpires are also out there taking a look at the conditions.

    It continues to rain in Navi Mumbai but with reduced intensity.

    The start to the final group game of this Women's World Cup has been delayed by an hour now which means we have entered the territory of losing overs.

    We should have had the first ball of this game right about now.

    But just when we thought we were about to get going, the rain has made a comeback in Navi Mumbai and it's back with a vengeance.

    The covers are back on now and it's gone real dark at DY Patil Stadium, so the floodlights have been turned on as well.

    We will bring you any further updates as and when we have it.

    Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Joty: "It's good for us to bat first because our bowlers have been doing well and we have to give them a good total that they can defend.

    "The way our bowlers are bowling, we want to get 230 which could be a good total considering the conditions today."
