Warwickshire advanced to 279 for 3 (Maddy 123, Loudon 14 [Loudon, on 6, dropped by Mascarenhas at extra cover]) before the mother, father, grandmother, uncle, another uncle, second cousin and niece's hamster of all downpours arrived.

Throw in the truly feeble attempts of the groundstaff to cover the ground quickly - and some pretty modest covers - and, even though the downpour was quite short, this could be quite a stoppage.
