    Shame it's not Manchester where it could rain all day. I expect them to be back out inside 20th mins.

    Annoying the rain is stopping our inevitable march onto a famous win here.

    Anyone staying up note. OBE awaits anyone who does 
    Certainly 'til lunch. If we're still there then probably will carry on watching. Anticipate being in bed by 12.15am.
    Oh ye of little faith!

    Lyon’s pulled a muscle while diving to save a boundary at fine leg

    He’s limping off to the dressing room immediately and has been replaced by Travis Head in the attack

    Marnus on to bowl from the other end.

    Two overs until the new ball

    Marnus bowling his leggies rather than his seam up attempts

    Smith hits a boundary and Marnus pulls a face similar to mine after Tanto's miss earlier

    17 runs taken from those two overs. Starc was stretching and looks ready to go

    Easy runs these with the old ball, but good for Smith’s confidence, which has taken a battering. 

    Game on now...
