I think we could get a couple of hours this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, but I don’t think it will be enough time.

Why do they wait for it to stop raining before they start the mopping up process?

I could of got 11/8 for the draw at 5.00pm yesterday.
Cannot see another ball being bowled.

Should stop raining about 11:45 then throughout the day its light/very light rain.

Think we will get on at some point today

Are you being serious?

Those changing odds tell us all we need to know about the weather forecast. It’s actually not been too heavy this morning in sunny Gorton but it’s been persistent with no sign of any let up. I was actually pleasantly surprised that we got a full day’s play in yesterday and it was a great day’s cricket. I’m not sure England could’ve done much different - I think the aim was to post a big enough total that reduces the need for us to bat again, but the weather forecast has clearly taken a turn for the worse since yesterday tea-time

it was ideal batting conditions

on other note you cant add time to a game that hasnt lost any time
only the over rate needs sorting and both teams were guilty of slow ovr rate
