8.35 pm The pitch is said to be "bone dry," according to Russell Arnold on Star Sports. The umpires are saying the square is in good condition but there are some damp areas near the boundary, which are a concern. The umpires will inspect the conditions at 8.45 pm. Overs will start getting reduced at 8.40 pm.
8.25 pm The pitch has been uncovered as well. The stumps are being put in. I expect we'll have an inspection soon, and a toss not too far away.
8.10 pm The covers are steadily being taken off the ground. Only the hessian on top of the pitches remains. Some of the Indian players are out and about, playing around with a football. We should not lose too many overs.

One of the umpires is also making his way around the ground, checking how it feels underfoot."
Sharada: "Have to give it to BCB. They really have created a top notch stadium. With so much crowd support, this is how a board should work."
Ethan: "The Cricket stadium in Kolkata has a lot to learn from this Shere Bangla Stadium!"
7.40 pm The rain has finally stopped. The groundstaff are getting to work, head groundsman Gamini Silva is supervising them.
7.35 pm The intensity of the rain has reduced, but it is still coming down.
Sandeep: "Just saw the pictures of the ground. I fail to u
