Steady drizzle turning to heavy showers put paid to any hope of play on the second scheduled day of Hong Kong's Intercontinental Cup tie against Scotland.

With the outfield too wet for play yesterday - the bowlers' run-ups a particular concern - constant and intensifying rainfall today only exaccerbated matters, and the day was given up before 1pm.

The Mission Road Ground at Mong Kok will have to wait at least another day for it's inaugural First Class fixture, and quite possibly a good deal longer if weather forecasts are to be believed.

The unseasonably cold and wet weather is expected to last well into next week, threatenening the two crucial World Cricket League Championship matches scheduled for the 26th and 28th, as well as the T20I's scheduled thereafter.

With only two days left in this match, even with the extra overs carried over the likelihood of a positive result is now remote even if no further rain falls.
