This morning the England opener tweeted: It's official as of 10:25 am.

Weather outlookpublished at 10:54 British Summer Time 5 June 2017
I don't want to be a harbinger of doom, but I think the weather may not entirely play ball with us today, which is a real shame with all five games nicely poised.
