This is now uncomfortable viewing

Ended up calling it a day. Only 5 minutes away and very big storm now so I'd be surprised if this lasts much longer.

We were spoilt with Crawleys opening yesterday...

Loving the crowd.

Loving the rain.

Either rain or be sunny, not that perfect bowling nonsense!

Collapse during a rain delay, that'd be a first

Good start, hope we can maintain the pressure.

The pressure is on England now. There's every chance of a 150 all out scenario. Lyon is going to be lethal tomorrow.

If you guys survive Lyon, Broad will destroy us.

Quite fresh and cool today in the midlands, not as prime bowling conditions as yesterday.

Could see this heading for a draw, or quite possibly a bazball-inspired aggressive attack and declaration.

Not the first time our openers have posted chuff all, been a recurring theme for a long time now.
Expecting a draw.
