Right then, we have the rare sight of cricketers making their way out to the middle. Alastair Cook, optimistically with shades on his head, is smiling. The Sri Lanka batsmen, nothing to win, follow behind. Get ready for a monster session.

The main question is whether or not we'll get through those 47 sets of six. Rain and bad light will stalk us at every turn. If we do manage to bowl them all, I reckon we'll still be playing at about 7.30.

Right then, are you with me for this? England have got three hours or so of cricket in which to take nine wickets. Possible? Yes. Probable? I'm not sure. Either way, the home side are out there and getting loose.

If we do manage to get back out there at 16:10, there will be 47 overs left in the day. In these conditions, England will feel that is enough in which to win this match.

There you have it, just over 20 minutes for it to rain again.

Three umpires are out there and it looks pretty dry. The blotters trundle up and down, and looks at watches suggest we'll soon have a time for play. Off they go. I reckon we're going to get some cricket.

As the TMS team continue to discuss the England one-day side, the umpires are applauded on to the Lord's outfield for yet another inspection. Surely we either play now, or we knock it on the head?
