And it has started raining hard so umpires have called for the covers.
Excellent bowling performance by Scotland bowlers. They have restricted Hong Kong to a paltry total.
UPDATE (21.15 IST): Rain has slowed down considerably. Covers are still on. Super-soppers are on the job. The music is being played on the ground for handful of spectators.
UPDATE (21.25 IST): Good news. Rain has completely stopped and we'll have the play soon. Stay tuned.
Players are on the field. There was some issue with the super-soppers. But all set to resume now.

0.0 : Both the opners are in but the rain is on again
The players have returned back to their respective dug-outs and covers are on.
Remember, any stoppage now and we'll have the target adjusted accordingly. The extra time of 30 minutes has been consumed by the earlier stoppage.
The ground is under wraps now and it is raining heavily now. We need only five overs to have a result, but for that the rain has to stop.
We'll keep you posted. Stay tuned.
UPDATE (10.05): It is still raining very heavily. Ground is under wraps. My understanding is that to get a result, the play needs to resume at around 10.50.
UPDATE (10.15): Good news. The rain has stopped and covers are coming off.
UPDATE (10.20): There are some wet patches on the ground which must be cause of concern for the umpires.
If it's a 5-over game, then Scotland's target would be 42.
49 for a 6-over game
56 for 7-over game
63 for 8-over game
69 for 9-over game
76 for 10-over game
UPDATE (22.27 IST): The game will start at 10.35. It's a 10-over game now. The target is 76.
Powerplay will be three overs.
Match has been reduced to 10 overs and Scotland required 76 runs to win.
