I just got this off Cricinfo website:
12.42pm Gnasher has actual news: "Rain very light now ... might have almost stopped ... GROUNDSTAFF COMING OUT. This is not a drill."

Rain looks like it’s stopped. Umpires coming out.

Commentary on Cricinfo is a fun read.

Hazo just said 1.5 hrs to get things dry and scoffed at the idea of getting play today.

Yeah I’ve been reading cricket commentary on Cricinfo for years.
The Mrs cannot fathom reading the cricket but it’s great, it’s got me out of trouble many a time.

Inspection at 11 assuming no more rain, which there probably won’t be. Had a look at tomorrow’s forecast, and despite talk of it being worse than first thought, the afternoon looks like it might be clear.

Cricinfo:
2.07pm: Play will start at 2.45pm!
2.05pm: Covers being peeled off the square now. And David Saker has brought out the practice stumps for England to warm up with, maybe just as a psychological prod for the umps...

There is more rain coming so they probably won’t be on long.
Just need to defend like demons. Keep your wickets and the weather will save you.
Rain forecast all day tomorrow. 20mm coming.

Word is they could get 2-3 hours in.

Good to see all our players who have gotten out in this innings, on the field mucking round with a soccer ball and giggling.

Geeze they’re planning on playing through to 730?
Radar I saw says rain coming back through in about an hour and lasting through to early evening.

Then a meteorologist on the BBC said as they were coming out that they might only have 45 minutes to an hour. No one has any idea. The fact they are even out there is a miracle considering all the initial forecast for today.

Let’s hope that’s the only pommy miracle and we’re back in a he sheds, (due to rain), before to long.

Every weather site has differing predictions re: rain today.
Additionally, they are changing their predictions frequently.
One I saw said it’ll start raining at 4pm and go through till after 830pm. That same website is now claiming it’ll be clear for the rest of the day….
I think our mindset should be get through to stumps today and quite possibly that’ll be enough as they are all reporting decent rain all day tomorrow.
