They are if there’s any more play today.

We could really do with persistent rain for the rest of today’s play.

Agree. Best thing is to stay off for the rest of today.
Crawley has agitated me going off shaking his head like that. If he was that concerned about the light then say so

Worst thing about that Crawley dismissal is seeing warners smug face in all the replays

Already no chance after that downpour

Weather radar suggests probable rain until at least 5, maybe half an hour gap and then more rain by 6.
Doesn't seem likely that they'll be back if that's accurate.

The skies are black here, can’t see it clearing.

That’s what I thought but Atherton and Ward have worried me.

I’d say 250 should be our initial aim.

It would be a shame if we completely fold in this second innings. Perhaps I’m biased but I think we’ve played marginally the better cricket thus far.

Warner; smug?

they are saying it's looking ok for play to start again today, but maybe a little hope because there is water on the outfield

How can you stick to a player like Crawley if the ball moves a bit he shits his pants and he is all over the place! He is that thick he negates the lbw and hangs out his fcuking bat like catching practice!

He is rob key’s mate and seemingly well liked within the England dressing room. It’s always been a bit cliquey and no doubt Crawley will continue to get picked

If we had a decent wicket keeper we'd be well on top. Foakes omission is crackers, let Bairstow open and drop Crawley or Duckett.
