Wonder how fit Stokes actually is to bowl, could do with one of his bursts at some point I imagine.

No play before lunch is my prediction. The weather radar shows very heavy rain currently and then light rain until 12:45. Hopefully start before 2pm.

Was thinking similar yesterday when their openers looked set. Must be saving it for today given he'll have a few days to recover.

Still hammering it down, shorts to work wasn't a great idea

Any Brum based blues, what's the weather like this morning (I'm at work, so can't access the TV coverage)?

That is hopeful, umpires pitch inspection at 1.30 and then decide to take lunch!

My hope is that the heaviest rain will be gone out of the area in the next hour and so a lot of the water will drain away even though the moderate drizzle is ongoing. They'll be taking lunch at 12:30 probably so whatever needs doing in the outfield. Do they still have that big cover at Edgbaston that they used to drag on?
