Tri-Nation T20 Series | LIVE |




It is all we have for you, and until hopefully something more to serve you guys apart from these nonsensically mundane rain updates, on behalf of all of us out here, ta ta!!
Mashrafe Mortaza | Bangladesh skipper: For all the teams, coming to the ground and not playing is disappointing and frustrating. This is how the tournament is going, we got our chances against New Zealand, we couldn't get going in the England match, but it was frustrating today. I think Shakib will be fine. He still has four-five days to recover. Taunton, yes, is a very small ground, and especially against West Indies it isn't going to be easy. But we don't have much of an option apart from playing hard.
Dimuth Karunaratne | Sri Lanka skipper: The last few games have been washed out, so these kind of tournaments aren't easy. It is a bad time for us. We just play some cards, but it isn't easy, we have to switch on and off all the time. These kind of things can happen but we have to get used to it. We can keep practicing and train harder for the Australia game. Definitely in every match we need to play for a win. The middle-order is trying to play hard and prove their worth, hopefully in the next game.
Richard Illingworth | Umpire: All the way around the country is pretty bad, but this is average weather to say the least. The captains didn't turn up till 11, but we obviously were in constant touch with the groundstaff to know how much time they would take to clear up the ground. Unfortunate for those guys who were around from 5:30 in the morning and the super-sopper was on continuously ever since. They got plenty of water off the ground as well.
Richard Kettleborough | Umpire: Our main objective is to try and get the game as soon as possible, but if anything, the rain has only gotten harder as the day went on. We have our set protocols and we had to get the game going by 16:17 local, but the groundsman said that we need around two-and-a-half to three hours to get the ground ready once it stopped raining, but it just hasn't
