Start delayed due to rain this morning - but here goes the final installment of the test series for this summer. Both teams will be unchanged from the Oval. If you are going, I hope you packed a thermos of tea and your waterproofs!

"The umpires are monitoring the light, and the outfield is still wet," confirms an ECB spokesperson.

They said on sky that the outfield is dry just a little drizzle around

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

I think even if the rain stops they'll struggle to get on this morning.  It's pretty dark everywhere.

I don't think wet outfield would be an issue ever because Lords drainage system is just THE best in the world

Didn't say that they forked out £1.3M for that drainage system?

2.4 mil on lights and they don't even use them :@ Just think it's very silly going off in conditions like that, full crowd in etc and only seeing half a days play maximum! Older way i.e discussing with the batsmen seems to be the better option, as it means we get more play generally. Trott is seeing it like a beach ball, if given the option would he have walked off...

The problem is they are using the lights causing shadows! As bumble said, the sun causes shadows!

Absolute shambles, this could only happen in England and at Lords as well!
A few years ago I forked out a small fortune on flights, hotels and tickets to watch India vs England at Lords and spent hours waiting for the team to continue playing.There were too many stoppages and then the obligatory 30 min wait for a restart.I was amazed how many people left the ground  having shelled out £75 for 2 full hours play in the day.There was total disregard for the spectators and  players and they were more interested in the Rules of Play.
Its completely laughable how the paying public get screwed all the time in England and nothing gets done about it.

Cheers guys!

I am not in England nor I have seen any match but do they refund if it rains throughout the day or half of the day?
