It's stopped raining in Solihull. Almost certainly a delayed start but I'm hopeful for them to get on before lunch.

The sooner they can get on the better. It's remained humid and cloudy further South once the storm passed, it really is perfect bowling conditions (probably like that 20 mins on Sunday).

Yes a SAffa-Pom. yes hes a pom- represented ENG never SAF

Rain will likely see a delayed start- i reckon around 1230PM-1PM start- factoring in getting the ground dry etc. That leaves around 4-5 hours to force a result not including breaks.

What's the deal with Cameron Greens lack of overs in this test.

Presumably he's not injured, is it about workload management or simply Cummins preferred other options?

Hes not suited to the conditions, the ball, pitch, everything. He was slogged out of the attack here.

He's only really suited to down under conditions- The kookaburra ball where he gets a bit of nibble off the seam

Remember there's an extra hour available at the end plus the half hour they were playing anyway. I believe they could actually play (if light held) until 8pm tonight (or longer if the final 15 overs needed to be bowled).

Apparently it's bucketing down with rain at Royal Ascot - day 1 of the prestigious 5 day carnival starts today. Probably means day 5 of this Test match might get a bit of rain too.

Kookaburra doesn’t have a seam
