  1. Sam Drury is our man on the (soggy) ground at Old Trafford and has sent an update...

  2. The weather

    This is the forecast. It is grim, there is no disguising it. BUT there is a chance it may dry up for a five over thrash later this afternoon.

  3. I'm going to defend Manchester today, Robert. It was dry yesterday and it is forecast to be dry tomorrow.

    It's a shame because all week the forecast has been for 20 degrees. We have been unlucky.

    Alright, alright, I know plenty of you will be saying we should not be playing international cricket in Manchester in mid-September. But it was a lovely sunny day yesterday and it set to be nice well into next week.

    It is just rotten luck.

  8. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It is raining here and has been all morning.

    We're hopeful of a five-overs-per-side match.

  9. Toss delayed

    We were due to get started at 14:30 BST but you will not be surprised to hear that the toss has been delayed.

    It is currently very wet at Old Trafford right now. The rain has not relented all day and there are puddles growing ever larger on the covers.

    We live in hope that the clouds will break and we can get some sort of game on.

  10. Good afternoon

    Welcome to coverage of the third and final T20 international between England and Australia from Old Trafford.

    Yes, you guessed it. It's raining.
