I was thinking, what a stupid declaration. Batted much too long. Then I realised that it's the third day and not the last! That's what losing a day when you're flying does for you!
Batty still out with injury. Virdi only spinner in squad. Meaker and Patel come in. There were doubts over Dunn and Dernbachs fitness. I suspect Dunn may get rested for Meaker - I suspect they will rotate those 2 a lot this season. Alternatively Patel could come in and add depth to the batting and be 4th seamer.

You will be incredibly shocked to learn that it is currently raining in Manchester.
No toss as yet.
