I can't help but think that if it were the Aussies batting in a similar situation, they would have been un-tying and re-tying laces, taking off gloves, walking to square leg after each delivery etc etc. They would also have been constantly in the ears of the umpires about how dark it was even with the lights on. It was blatantly clear that very heavy rain was minutes away and we should have been so much cleverer in handling the situation

If it could start to hack it down that’d be nice.

I thought if they weren't on by the scheduled close that was it. Obviously changed. Any play tonight doesn't help us.

Any further play tonight would most likely be disastrous for England. The inevitable wicket or two lost would be completely match defining. We need no to come back tomorrow under conditions that aren't so favourable to bowlers

Good. Especially so as I'm there tomorrow. Pivotal day coming up. Come on England bat like you ca. and 300 lead will win the game.

Train arriving in Brum for 8.44 and breakfast in Browns by St Martins before a stroll to the ground. Using gate E10 as it seems to be a better kept secret. Hope you have a good day.

Good choice with Browns, particularly if the weather is good and you can sit outside.

I’m there tomorrow and it’s set up for a fascinating days cricket

Cheers. Yeah happy with the choice Bills was okay on Friday as a plan B after seeing the queue for GCK but Browns looked better as we walked to the ground.
Was in Wellington for the one run defeat so wouldn't rule out another nipper. Currently clearing plans for Tuesday just in case.

Yeah me too. I don’t expect the game to end tomorrow unless there’s a batting collapse
