Hello and welcome to live coverage of 1st Test between India and Sri Lanka at Kolkata.Toss has been delayed due to Rain.

09:50 IST: It has started to drizzle once again and the covers are back in place. It's becoming that sort of a day in Kolkata.
09:33 IST: The drizzle has stopped. It seems to be getting a little brighter now. Ground staff have started the process of taking the covers off. They're removing the bricks away from the cover that is over the middle square.

11:26 Local Time: The groundstaff are making small holes with nails to remove the moisture on parts of the outfield. So the players will take early lunch and the umpires will have another inspection at 12:10
