Looking at the radar we may get play around 5 to 5:30
Tomorrow? That works.

On the rain, having seen the computer output from the latest UK Met Office model (and I don't mean the "app"). I think there is more chance of play tomorrow afternoon than on Sunday, obviously it can change, but Sunday looks a complete washout on the latest data.Fair point. But if the rain stopped around, say, 8 tomorrow evening, I'd imagine the ground staff would be out there through the night with heavy duty soppers, along with dragging ropes around the outfield. I'd have thought negligible time would be lost on sunday morning (maybe an hour?).
Other data is similar, though there are some differences, personally I think if it rains quite a lot overnight, then we've probably seen the last ball bowled already.
Obviously I hope not.

Radar is current data, and there's no chance you can forecast play for tomorrow at 5-5:30pm from current radar images (in fact tomorrow's rain is nowhere near any useful radar right now, it's still out in the Atlantic).Looking at the radar we may get play around 5 to 5:30
However the computer data suggests this is possible

If you get what we've had since around mid afternoon (and it does generally track from west to east), you won't see much play tomorrow. While not torrential, it's been that persistent, heavy drizzle we know all too well over here. And it's still at it now.Radar is current data, and there's no chance you can forecast play for tomorrow at 5-5:30pm from current radar images (in fact tomorrow's rain is nowhere near any useful radar right now, it's still out in the Atlantic).

What a great day out that was, just hope the weather stays kind enough for us to get the win. Brilliant atmosphere in the Party Stand!

Do Australia struggle for new players? Seems to be the same old names every series
Agreed and not going to argue - brilliant bowler and a proper Lancashire Lad - you’ll do for me JimmyBut Sir James was never a fast bowler, always a swing/seam bowler, but has been England's opening bowler for a long time
