Wellington XI had 150 minutes to score 188 to win the match outright but rain forced the players from the field at 1.35pm after only 2 overs had been bowled so an early tea was taken at 2.10pm
Play resumed at 2.47pm and another 17 overs were bowled following the resumption before the rain returned at 3.53pm and no further play was possible
