@Tony-Hastie mine's painting! Jesus the mess I will walk into soon

@Martin and a 3 hour "mega" session after tea. Kids are in the kitchen, hopefully not making me a cuppa

@Dan-MacKinnon I'm similar, just transferred red from Aus to draw ahead of the afternoons play, hoping the draw is just going to tick out.

even one relatively quick wickets and I'll be in a positive position.

An Australian win and I'll have a smaller red than I would have done otherwise.

BBC news feed says Tea is being taken now and the weather is set to clear ready for a 'monster session'

@Dan-MacKinnon has any update been given, nothing on radio and I've got kids crawling all over me #summerholidays

suggesting a possible early tea with play sometime between 4 and 4:30

I think I’ve played this horribly. I’ve got a big red on AUS, scratch on the draw and a big green on ENG.

Broad, now is your moment

Richard Futter

Looks like we're getting back on around 4pm with any luck; early tea is being taken, so there will be plenty of overs to complete a result. Can't see the draw being a realistic prospect now, time to lay methinks.

Martin

@Adam-Cubbage it's such a marginal call at the moment, I wish I could see the ground more instead on Nasser Hussein interviewing 'leaders' in other sports

Adam Cubbage

@Matt-Ayles holding Aus lay as well, thinking of hedging out and taking a loss. I think there will be enough time to get the runs if the rain stops at 4pm.
Weird feeling hoping for them to loose as I'm from Aus.
Go easy on me gents, now I have revealed myself

@Martin wish I'd backed the draw when it flew up towards 4 20mins ago. Coulda knocked off some of my liability.

I need the rain to keep coming sadly.

Depends if Aus want to come out with intent

Martin

@Gavin-Rumsey got to think they would have to be back on for 4.30pm to get a result, would they be able to play much past 7?

I've got my green on the draw and bigger red on Aus. It's not been great from me sadly.

I think the post rain clear up is either an unknown and/or forgotten. If that takes 40mins plus it's getting tight for time. Especially if light fades

I'm on the Aus lay still... not quite as confident about that as i was 2 days ago!

Watch draw price go north once rain finishes.

@Stuart-Wallace BBC says opposite rain at 3 and 4

Typical innit.
Met Office Radar suggests no more rain after 15.00

Nathan Bennett

Felt obliged to lay some draw 2.4

If aus get it done only small loss

Weather looks ok after about 15.00
