YESSSS, one just before this rain hits. Get them thinking in the changing room.

Absolute ripper, superb bowling so far this morning.

Oh **** off rain, ffs northern monkeys.

That'll put the cat among the pigeons, he gets 'em out without having to resort to a 96mph bouncer barrage. But he's got that up his sleeve.

Jeez he's some bowler.

Weather forecast reliable as ever, rain much worse than expected could be a few hour delay.

You rely on forecasts...?

If this bit of rain looks set, why not take lunch now?

[James Bond's body double]

Lunch taken, hope they get it back

 

[Gazwag]

Lunch taken, hope they get it back

Next four days look fine so as long as the light is ok half and hour a day will do it (if we don't lose any more time)

 

[Mellotron]

Looks like it might be a 2-3 hour delay, rain setting in for a bit. Frustrating.

Chance for me to get some work done I guess

Or a chance to listen to the TMS summary of the of the 1981 Test at Headingly, What a game!

This.

Great story.

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Only 1 draw n the last 19 Tests at Leeds!

 

[The Wizard]

Covers coming off, but looking at the radar more drizzle is coming in... this shower activity has been ridiculously more active than was forecast, frustrating.

 

[Eeyore]

Only 1 draw n the last 19 Tests at Leeds!

Can't see that altering with these line ups !

 

[pasty]

Restart confirmed for 14:00

 

[The Wizard]

Small window before the next lot comes in.

Sangakkara the best new addition to the Sky commentary for years.

During the first test there was a point where they handed over from him and Michael Atherton to Shane Warne and Ian Botham. It was like someone taking away your glass of fine claret and replacing it with a dog bowl full of White Lightning.

Analogy of the month there. Good work.
