    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Actually tomorrow's weather looks very good for bowling. The weather models are suggesting now that Monday will see little if any rain reaching England during the day and its now progged for Tuesday instead... So with that in mind I think England have a shot at doing it, still going to need a...

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Well judging from the forecast I doubt there wil lbe a first session, indeed may not even get an afternoon session. The eveing session is going yo be ultra key, England really need to have a quick strike rate if they want to win from what seems to be a good position...if it weren't for the...

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    As I said the weather models aren't agreeing on the timing really, they all suggest though that between 11am-3pm its a writeoff pretty much no matter what, after that and its going to be a wait and see job to be honest...but I wouldn't even bother worrying about the match starting before 2-3pm...

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    You'll be amazingly lucky to get 70 overs on Saturday, the forecasts are changing BUT for the worse, the rain orginally was meant to ocme in overnight but each weather model run shows it slowly shifting to later in the day. Now they are showing it arriving just prior to Midday and not really...

    Totally agree, I'd only give Flintoff a small number of overs and wait for the surface to dry for tomorrow before we really give him more overs.

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Yeah should be fine now for the res tof today and Friday will be interesting, cloud cover really increasing during Friday I'd have thought will make things more interesting for the bowlers, whoever is in at the time. Need to hope the rainbands that are progged to swing in are weaker then...

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Its not that surprising really, we still have an hour and a bit in nearly ideal drying conditions, the July sun is very strong and whilst conditions aren't great they will continue to improve over the next hour as the sun is still quite strong. However its still a worry for the weekend when...

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Normally we'd rarely get a July this wet, this is I think go end up as the 3/4th wettest July since 1900. Actually England isn't as wet as some think, for example Rome on average is wetter then London. The problem is our rain tends to be long lasting and not as heavy as the type of rains seen...

    If we do get a 2-3 hour delay then that is a shame, but not surprising to be honest. Just got to hope the showers don't hang about too long either as they will be arriving in the next hour roughly.

    Well we will soon see what sort of state the outfield is in, hopefully it is drying very nicely. However looks like a shower is incoming in the next hour which means a delayed start maybe almost certain regardless.

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    All depends on whether we get any more showers in the morning, we shall see, certainly will be some showers about. Matt, this is one of our wettest July's in the last 100 years. 2007 was the wettest ever July and this one is only about 3-4% behind that one, maybe even break the record yet. Just...

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Well Monday is still very uncertain, the latest weather model that has just come out suggests there may not be much rain on Monday but at this range they change nearly every run they have. Saturday however looks highly likely to see at least some rain delay, how much is in the lap of the gods.

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    It would be a shame if they don't start on time, if your going to make a bet on a draw I'd do it now because once the forecast becomes more generally aware the odds for a draw will tighten up in a big way I suspect. However the July sun is strong and I suspect there will be play maybe back end...

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    I think thats probably not going to be far from the truth actually, Saturday looks like it'll have at least a deent amount of rain stopping play, and Monday may also have similar issues from the looks of things. Tomorrow could have a risk of an early shower as well. I think draw has to be the...

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Well in terms of the weather, we've had quite a lot this July (actually seems to be up there in the top 5 wettest in the the last 75 after todays rain) Thursday should be a decent enough day, hopefully the grass will dry out as the day goes on, could be a few showers about. Friday looks ok...
