Eight minutes left until play resumes. If the rain holds off, we could be in for a long session, so fix your dinner now. You haven't got long mind - think boiled egg rather than chicken chasseur...

Alec Smith: I was hungover this morning and I put it all down to Broad not bowling at the stumps yesterday. #britishhumbugs

Play is due to resume at 18:50 BST. I can't promise it won't be raining again by then. But we live in hope.

News to bring you on Adil Rashid - the spinner will not be returning home to play county cricket, as his side Yorkshire had requested.

Rashid was not picked for this match, but is apparently in contention to play in the third Test of the series in Bridgetown - so the ECB have turned down Yorkshire's application to release him.

Rashid, no doubt, will be crestfallen to have to travel on to Barbados rather than returning home to take on Warwickshire in sunny Leeds.

Harry Shawyer: Rain stopping play in Grenada. No doubt this will be blamed on Moores/Cook/ECB management.

Poor old Marlon Samuels. He'd have reckoned on bringing up his century last night as he cantered through the latter part of his innings to reach 94 not out, then those dastardly English fielders decided to come off for bad light.

No matter, Marlon would have thought, I'll knock them off in the morning - but no sooner had he got to 97 than the rain came down. Still, he'd have said to himself as he sat down to lunch, plenty of time in the afternoon session - but just one run later, he's back in the pavilion again.

Samuels is a pretty cool customer, but even he must be getting a little antsy by now. He must have worked his way through more chewing gum than Fergie in the 1999 Champions League final by now...

"It was a lot of fun to see the effect our fast bowlers had on other players - I was lucky to play in a team with some fierce players. I did not end up doing what I really wanted to do, I never wanted to be a wicketkeeper. At the beginning of my cricket career, in college, I hated bowling and I found fielding very boring so I tried my hand wicketkeeping. Primarily I was a batsman and the wicketkeeping side of it was an asset I had in situations when things were tight between me and another player. I went to Australia as a back-up wicketkeeper and played my first two Test as a batsman but then the wicket-keeper broke his finger and I got my chance. As time went on I got better at keeping to real genuine fast bowling."

Mark Savile: I know rules are rules but it was dry for whole lunch, should have been playing. Modern attitude needed or audiences will fall.

I'm told that it's looking unpromisingly overcast out in Grenada, leaden clouds rolling in over the volcanic hills. I fear we could be off for a while here. Let's just say if it was Wimbledon, they'd be rifling through the video archives in search of the 1980 McEnroe-Borg final right about now...

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

"He is a very good player but he does not endear himself to the opponents. I saw his press conference yesterday where he said he was going to get 150 - and I have seen twice where he has done well after he has been wound up."

Michael Vaughan
Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

"I think last night - whether it was the Stokes confrontation or not - Samuels seemed to decide as a senior player that he needed to get going and I think he played the situation right."

Tony Cozier
BBC Test Match Special

"Marlon Samuels has had a chequered career in West Indies cricket. He has had one or two situations which I think has played on his mind. He has had some ups and downs but that has not stopped him from being him. He doesn't feel that certain bowlers should bowl to him and he plays big shots and gets out."

Jay: Good. Now they can have the dessert that they didn't have time for during the lunch break.

This is all a but silly, isn't it? The rain wasn't falling for 40 minutes while the players were eating lunch, and now, as soon as we get started again, down it comes again. What were the umpires thinking? Surely in this sort of humidity, any chance to play while the skies are clear has to be taken...

Graeme Swann
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

"This is just the cricketing god mocking the umpires for taking an early lunch and not playing when the skies were clear."

Ed Smith
Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

"Sadly I think there is worse still to come. It is very disappointing for England, the West Indies and the spectators. It looks like it's going to be set in for at least half an hour."

And with that, the rain comes down, the groundsmen come on, and the players come off. We've had seven balls after lunch, and we're back in the sheds again...

You don't envy Marlon Samuels here. England have taken the new ball with Samuels three away from his ton and the rain, I'm afraid to say, looming ominously again. He errs on the side of caution, just working Jimmy Anderson for a single.

Michael Vaughan
Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

"I feels like yesterday morning when it was muggy and I expect this ball to hoop around. England need to strike now, they have got to get the ball up there and swinging."
