INDIA VS NEWZEALAND: Match delayed by rain - Day 2: New Zealand trail by 231 runs with 6 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

The rain has stopped, according to New Zealand Cricket's official Twitter handle, which says: "Shower has passed & the covers are slowly coming off. Early tea taken so play should resume in 20 or so minutes I would think."

John D: "Over the last 29 innings that NZ has taken all 10 of the opposition wickets, the last 3 wickets of the innings have averaged 63.14 runs. We really need to learn how to dismiss the tail cheaply."

Ochint: "Eden is just across the river from my home and have not yet seen a drop of rain today. Such has been this season at Kolkata. Unpredictable just like the pitch"

1.43pm Early tea has been taken at Eden Gardens. The entire outfield is under covers now.

Saikat Chakrabo: "Nothing more than a passing shower (which is usual during the autumn) and drainage system at the Eden Gardens has improved in the recent times. So don't expect more than 15-20 minutes delay... " -- Let's hope so.

Ali Cheema: "the only thing i like about matches played in UAE is matches don't get ruined by rain."

Larry B: "If India is worried about Hawkeye, why not have DRS without ball-tracking? An umpire given several replays is obviously less likely to get it wrong than one who has one look in real time."

Ranveer: "Success of Ashwin in Test cricket has a lot to do with how Jadeja bowls...his restricting line...u could keep a dinner plate on the pitch and he could bowl every ball in it...impeccable control" -- The poor dinner plate would take an absolute hammering
