Although there was no rain when play was scheduled to begin at 9.00am, the start was delayed because of water on the covers and a soggy outfield. There was going to be an inspection at 11.00am but it started to drizzle before then. The covers were finally removed but the umpires, after inspecting the ground, felt that it would take too long to dry it out and decided to abandon play for the day.
