Bet it's raining again now though!

I did say before the test started that it was a nailed on draw as half the playing time would be lost to the weather

If it's any consolation, after raining all night it's clearing up here in mid Cheshire and generally our weather hits Manchester a couple of hours later

Drizzle currently
 
Update from near the ground. It stopped raining about ten minutes ago. It's still overcast however the Old Trafford drainage is excellent so if there's no more rain it's possible we may start on time.

Also just seen some convict fans with their umbrellas still up. The soft twats!!
 
Weather is looking like it will take a lot of time out of the game, but it will mean that batting becomes very hard. Get that 200 lead and then use the weather to skittle them!

We've also shot ourselves in the foot, to some extent. Was watching the highlights for days one and two last night. Something very striking — we took our catches. All of them. Not one dropped catch, I think, in this test. Some not particularly easy ones, too. And by God what a catch from Bairstow! That'll do his confidence no end of good.
 
We need to have the Aussies at least 6 down by the end of today to stand any chance.

No reason why they couldn't have a reserve day on Monday to be used if a certain amount of time is lost.

The cheating twats will be claiming the outfield is too slippy, the light is not good enough, the crowd don’t like them etc etc.
