Just as the match was about to begin the rain has played spoilsport yet again.

The two openers -- KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan -- were out in the middle along with the Sri Lankan players before the umpires forced the players off the middle.

The whole of morning session was lost because of rain and a wet outfield before the toss took place at 1pm.

There is forecast of more rain in the next day or two in Kolkata, as per reports.
