and tomorrow is rain
play is doubtful if any at any time
Rain, heavy at times, through Sunday is likely to cause some disruption, particularly to outdoor events.

Rain will start after 3pm and before 4pm according to this.
If play at 2.45pm, then theres not much play. Drizzle patches will occur until close of play.
Any drizzle then its back off.

We are starting at 2:45.

 

[Qlder]

If they start 2:45 hope the keep the scheduled 3:40 tea, so less than an hour to survive before it rains after tea

10 overs could still cause a lot of damage. I'm shutting up shop as much as possible. Being 4 down when the next belt of rain comes is imperative.

 

[GIMH]

10 overs will be enough to get the game done and dusted

A big shower is coming within the next hour mind. So that will put play off a little bit more

@Groundking how are the skies?

 

[Wayner]

who opens the bowling ?

If they can get started that quickly after heavy prolonged rain, any further small odd showers should prove no issue.

Eng need to take 1 or 2 wkt in 45 minutes than rain returns

1 or 2 wickets before they go off again could be huge.
