Finn comes in. I expect Broad probably will, Onions in place of him presumably.

It's raining at Edgbaston though so I don't think play will start at 11.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And I was right.

Little chance of play today.

No Tennis and no cricket

Was supposed to get me through the day.

They need to man up and get out there like footballers do

[Cripps_orig]

First day wash out

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Looking like no play today either.

Birmingham.

[Cripps_orig]

Second day wash out indeed

First time since 1964 its happened

Cricket

Is there any point starting the Test tomorrow? Better weather is expected and it should at least start but whats the point cos unless the players score quick and have none of this block and leave garbage then we wont have a result

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They should be able to have an additional day for instances like this.

In any case, play has started. England won the toss and will bowl first. Bresnan has his work cut out getting a win this time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Windies are 51-1 currently, Bresnan got Powell not long ago.

[Cripps_orig]

No Chanderpaul

England might win this after all

Broad also dropped

Onions is in

[McNamara That Ghost...]

92-2, Onions got Barath for 41. He just can't kick on from a decent score. He's the Phillip Hughes of the Windies.
