There might well be more players and staff than spectators left inside Lord's now. If we do get back out there, I reckon we'll have no more than about 40 overs.

I have been asked if tea has been taken. The honest answer is that I don't know. However, I suspect that if the players came out to play, then wandered off for tea, there would be the world's smallest and poshest riot at HQ.

"Have you seen the note we've been left? It says 'hand back to the studio at 7.30'. The rest of the commentary box is empty."
Having said that, the Sri Lanka players are back in their whites, as if ready to play. It's still quite dark in the distance. The groundstaff are desperately trying to get it ready for play.
Right, the umpires will look again at 15:45. Surely we must be getting close to this one being given the big stick?

"The umpires are looking purposeful, walking off and looking at their watches. There's some damp around."

James Levy: My Aussie neighbour has two cats called Warney and Gilly. And like reality, neither of them walk out when you open the door...
I can hear machinery whirring and the umpires have at least gone out there. The groundstaff are milling out about with brushes. It still looks dark in the distance.

"My youngest brother lost his job a couple of times and we didn't have much money. One of my first MCC blazers, I took all the braiding off for him to go to work. It would have been worth thousands now."

"I always asked for a bat with narrow grains, 12 to 14. That wood doesn't always last as long, but it was as sweet as anything."

The umpires are due to inspect shortly, but I believe there is still some rain falling. If that's the case at 15:15, Tucker and Ravi will remain playing dominoes.

"It's been a belter of a storm, there wasn't half some rain that came down."

"We have sailed through two horrendous-looking storms. The light is awful and it's still pretty wet, but it's brighter in the distance. We might get some more cricket."
