  1. Breaking

    Confirmed! We restart in 10 minutes.

    This is not a drill. Repeat. This is not a drill.

    Weirdly enough, I was doing my Meat Loaf tribute act in a bar in Vietnam when the 2005 Edgbaston Test was on, met some guy who claimed to like cricket, don't know if he's watching though

    Joe in Cambridge

  3. Hearing reports of a restart at 18:40 BST.

    I watched the 2019 cricket World Cup final with William the Conqueror.

  5. Jess will let us know.

    I can’t stand this, I need to know if Martin is home?

    Simon in Tamworth

  7. Rod Tucker has got an umbrella up to shield himself from the sun whilst we are not playing cricket. You couldn't make it up.

  8. Thing is, Benj... the 2005 Edgbaston Ashes Test ended on Sunday, 7 August and Meat Loaf played a show at the Beacon Theatre in New York that evening.

    You've got to get pretty early in the morning to get that past me.

    Now, where's that message from Charles in Windsor?

    I actually watched the classic Edgbaston Ashes Test in 2005 with Meat Loaf in a tiny little bar in Vietnam. True story but one that's better left for another day.

    Benj in Stretford

  10. Has the outfield got that wet in that rain shower? Rod Tucker is asking for the blotter to go over a patch just off the square. Is it that bad that it would stop us playing right now?

    I bet Ffion wouldn't post anything addressed to 'Fino', which is what my iPhone just autocorrected to.

    Carl, Ledbury

  12. The umpires are wandering out to inspect. There seems to be patches of the outfield they aren't happy with. Quite a lot of sawdust is being thrown around.

    Stephan, can you let my wife know I’m having another pint before play recommences. If I’m not home in 20 minutes please repost this message.

    Philip Emery

  14. Right, we're due an inspection any minute now. In case you're wondering, we don't start losing overs until about 19:40 BST.

  15. Is that you, Ffion?

    Ffion is never this grumpy. Hope she's on next

    Gary, Belfast

  17. Fair point. I do have a daft name. Seems more fair to the reader if I do the decent thing and change it.

    Stephan, I’m not sure penalising people for stupid auto correct changing Stephan to Stephen is particularly fair.

    Ian in Bolton

  19. The other point. They're only inspecting at 18:15 BST. That means a resumption at maybe 18:25 or 18:30. That's more time wasted.

    I know, I'm moaning. I don't mean to unload on you. I feel like we're here for each other.

    What difference will 20 mins make? Martin could walk to Rugby station and back in that time.
