Cricket Day 5 on 10:52 - Jun 20 with 2745 views | SaleAway | Its forecast to stop raining sometime now. And be pretty fine after that. TMS have just said that they are taking early lunch at 1230, and so hopefully play might start about 1:10/ 1:30. |  |

An afternoon with heavy cloud cover and Anderson and Broad bowling. If they get to play in conditions like London now (muggy and overcast after a lot of rain earlier) then England might not need all day. |  |

Conditions very much like that here, 50 miles south of Edgbaston. |  |

About 10 miles away, it is still drizzling - the amount of rain that fell will take some clearing, but if they get it playable it could be a fun afternoon |  | |  |
Cricket Day 5 on 11:43 - Jun 20 with 2579 views | Wallingford_Boy | I'd say its perfect. Bowling under cloud, little chance of Aussies getting runs, so we can attack more. Play resuming at 1.10pm. |  |

From the overhead conditions point of view, yes they are great conditions but when I looked at the weather app, there didn't seem to be many points of the day where rain wasn't around. |  |

Looks good now I think, unlucky to be caught again. |  | |  |

If Head lasts an hour or more he could win it |  | |  |

He's dangerous. Should present opportunities though. |  | |  |
Cricket Day 5 on 15:26 - Jun 20 with 2209 views | SaleAway | Tight opening hour.... chances going to come after drinks with Head wanting to get on with it |  |

Head's runs before that were pretty streaky, some of those balls only just evaded the fielders. We've kept the scoring down in general as well as attacking today. |  |
