Seems I was a shade over optimistic on starting on time. The darkness might be a problem here through the day too.
-
@Matt-Ayles Yeah, the bleak forecasts do seem to be at odds with the picture the radar is painting this morning. If you believe the BBC and Met Office you wouldn't think there's a chance of a ball being bowled, but I have a feeling we'll see a fair few hours' play.
-
I agree with Richard, it looks bleak on most weather forecasts so I've removed liability on the draw. Thankfully i had worked a position where i can leave a point on the result with a scratch on the draw.
Not the big result i was looking for, but it's about risk management for me.Hopefully England can get the win though so we can take them down the last!
-
Looking at the radar, seems most of the bad weather is passing just to the north of Manchester; unless something changes dramatically I think there's a good chance of a prompt start. Don't take it for granted, but I reckon a small lay of the draw at 1.5 or so might well pay dividends later.

@Nathan-Bennett looks same as yesterday here at the moment, maybe a touch less gloomy but not much
-
1.3-1.5’s
Tell me suns out ha -
Farrrrrr almost two quick ones

Specked some @200 caving in (would green that up in 20’s ish)How good if this becomes Eng chasing 120 off 14
Overs final day haAlso more draw lay low 1.4’s
LIFT SOME GREEN

Not an exact science, but judging by the radar looks like pretty light rain will return around 5.00 and last about an hour. Can play until 7.30 although I'm not sure the light will be good enough to go on that long.

@Richard-Futter why does it take so long?! We've had a nice window in the weather, inspection took over half an hour, then a 45 minute wait before start of play. They know the rains coming back, just get them out there!
Don't ask me! I know in Sri Lanka they cover the whole ground and are usually back on in about ten minutes once it stops - does take an awful lot of trained ground staff though.

Can we get a run out please wicket anyway will do ha

Starting 2.50 - 40 mins time. Come on England!
-
Looks like they're making a start..... just waiting for official start time.
-
Come on play !!!
-
@Matt-Ayles faaaaaaaaarrrrr kick missed this one . Too much pain from golf earlier ha
-
Tied match Ban v Ind... didn't have any cover on it. Never mind, void trades. On we go!
Lets hope we can get a couple of hours in Manchester...
-
Looking at the radar it looks like there may be some dry spells this afternoon; whether they will last long enough for any play remains to be seen. But I wouldn't be surprised to see the draw drift slightly.

Market 1.7 all of a sudden
Morning Nathan. Yeah, amazing how much movement there is in markets even when there's absolutely nothing happening. I think we'll see a few ups and downs through the day, especially when the TV coverage starts around 10.30 UK time (ie in an hour's time).
