Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Despite morning showers, play will start on time.
By the way, the loss of the last 14 overs yesterday was quite bizarre. There had been a bit of rain but the sun was out again and the grass can not possibly have been more than slightly damp. During the preceding two weeks, several Twenty20 games had taken place on sodden ground in heavy drizzle, which shows what's possible. But they couldn't call it off quickly enough yesterday. Championship cricket supporters are still taken for granted in a quite astonishing way.
