Looks like we might get lucky between 11 and 12. Fingers crossed

I got lucky between 7 and 8
Or was that how long it lasted seconds

Forecast this morning has Manchester right at the south of the rain front.
Might drift north and be okay, might drift south and it'll be a write-off.

In Stretford it’s belting down?? from 2pm until late tonight seems constant rain it’s a draw it’s the hope that kills you but in this case there’s no hope

When 2-0 down said we'd win 3-2. Going tomorrow and the weather will not stop us winning.

Hope you are right.

I had tics for yesterday and managed to watch the 30 overs. Felt that we should have done a bit better but I didn’t really understand why they wouldn’t let us use fast bowlers….the light looked fine to me

As I said yesterday, what we get weatherwise in mid Cheshire generally hits Manchester a couple of hours later
It hasn't rained here since 7am

Well the couple of hours is up and it’s still pissing down

It was a bit ridiculous from the umpires. At a push they could have stopped Wood bowling but not the other seamers.

Brightened up a bit in the city centre. Fingers crossed it stays dry and the groundstaff can work their magic to get play underway at 11, then England will have to have a blinding session to get it done you feel.

One more wicket then were into their bowlers….

One full session. Just one, please, God. Don't forget that there's now a good likelihood that we'll need to bat again, for a bit, even in the best scenario.

2 more wickets

Old Trafford as a venue needs to be fucked off. Didn’t the same happen in 2005? We could have wrapped the series up but the weather played it’s part and the Aussies hung on for a draw.

The pair of them are shitholes

This is the problem people saying it’s brightening up look from 11am onwards
Even if it stops for an hour it takes that long to get the pitch ready

Although it has regular tests & t20's booked in, it won't actually host another Ashes test until 2031!

Thank fuck.

Well it's been left out of the next UK Ashes series so plenty of time to build it a roof before 2031

The rain is nearly all North of us. We are just on the tip of the bottom of it and we might get away with it!
