@nta good grief!!

That is perfect for her

Play has started with Australia winning the toss and batting. Bit of nip and swing early, with 4.3 overs before more rain. This will be the story of today.

It is basically coming in straight from the east, so we'll get an hour or so in and then more rain as the next band hits:

Should be another rain delay shortly. Leading NW edge just reached my place

Another 8 overs bowled, and down she comes. That'll be lunch. By the time lunch finishes, this arsehole will arrive:

Warner and Harris both fail to go on

[NTA]

Labuschagne fucked it as well. Didn't have to play that at all.

I'll give that day to England. They were shit in the first part of the day but found something like a good length later and built pressure.

What's the weather pictures looking like today?

[NTA]

@hooroo radar is showing less rain activity, and less chance of rain as the day goes on.

Fair bit of rain overnight by the looks. Ground conditions won't be ideal and it'll still be muggy.

This shows a clearing sky.

These rain delays are ridiculous.

Multiple breaks where the covers aren't even on for 5 minutes before they come back out.

Meanwhile you've got the vice captain playing on his home track doing whatever he can to get off the field and not to play.

You wouldn't know these guys are in the entertainment industry would you.

Stokes has got them in all sorts of bother without taking a wicket.

Silly question maybe? But what happened to Joffra Archer?

Smith doesn't like damp gloves

[NTA]

Noball tech has shit itself again. Now what? Half an innings without it?

[NTA]

Smith gifts Broad a wicket. Never hitting anything.
