Melbourne Renegades vs Perth Scorchers, 4th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

20:06 Local Time, 09:06 GMT, 14:36 IST: A shame really, the match has been called off. 'The last delivery behaved uncharacteristically, it behaved dangerously and we were forced to halt play. We had a look at the pitch, it didn't seem unplayable, we've seen such divots previously as well. We've got a few processes, some follow-up, we consulted and came up with the final decision,' says the onfield umpires. So that's that, the match is abandoned and the two teams will share a point each. A farce at the BBL today, but games do keep rolling along. Do join us tomorrow as the Hurricanes take on the Sixers. For now, cheers and bye..

19:50 Local Time, 08:50 GMT, 14:20 IST: The captains and the coaches have been called into the room for a chat. We're hearing that the umpires are discussing privately with the tournament organisers and will then take a call on this game.

19:46 Local Time, 08:46 GMT, 14:16 IST: The problem is that of a damp area on the pitch which is unsettling the batters - so the ball bounces awkwardly whenever the ball lands on the surface. You can spot some divots on the surface and both teams did look concerned. There was some overnight rain and think the water has seeped under the covers. The players are chatting around the boundary skirtings even as the officials take charge.
