TBF looking at the radar it does seem like the rain is clearing over Northern Wales. Not sure if the rain stops at 3pm but if the current radar patterns persist it might not completely be curtains?

I think an hour to mop up is too generous though. Seems a lot of rain has fallen so you'd probably need two.

Still seems very unlikely we'll get back on.

... lol The Australians don't give a flying f....k about idiots spending time out in the rain whilst their laughing away inside chilling & relaxing inside.

It's almost like wearing a suit to bed for what the players are doing.

There's suggestions there might be a break in the rain by 4:30pm but frankly by that point it's probably too late.

Makes the defenses of Robinson earlier in the series look very odd tbh when they could have had this instead.

Thing is, I don't think anyone would have picked Wood or Woakes over Robinson for the first Test (some might have picked one of them alongside him.) Robinson was a lock in the side based on his performances last summer and over the winter. That he was nowhere near his best is only clear in hindsight.

Whatever it takes!!!
I really think persisting with Anderson and Robinson beyond the first test is where you guys went wrong. And lets face it, you should have won the first test even inspite of all that. You cant let 9 and 10 make 65 runs on the last day. Bowling Root was just a phenomenal error.

Interesting question though - what is the latest time play can start on a day? 6pm or is it earlier?
