Without wanting to curse him, Root really is exceptional. Crawley has been class, but you have to watch through your fingers at times with the amount of edges and chances he gives. Root is just supreme. Comes in, sees it like a beachball from the get go and finds runs with such ease. Alongside the typical shots for 1s and 2s he's found the boundaries brilliantly and got his scoop working well too. A stunning 50* at some pace as well. Going at better than a run a ball.

I've been bought a ticket for Saturday for what will be my first ever cricket match at any level.
What's the score when the weather is bobbins? Do you just get there at the normal time & sit around in case the forecast is wrong, or does it ever get cancelled in advance based on the forecast?
I do personally want to see some cricket, by the way, rather than sit in the pub all day!

I fucking love being wrong. Could be knock 400 before stumps?
 
The average first innings score in ODIs at OT is 225 and in second innings it's 197. England are 270-2 with a couple of overs left of their innings!

So it's 90 -100% chance of rain all day. All this bad weather must be England's thought process on how they are going about things.

Very rare that a day's play is called off the day before, so most people turn up, try and stay under cover and get pissed.
