BBC Weather's Philip Avery: "The showers that have been in the Adelaide Oval area throughout Monday thus far should become lighter and more sporadic as play progresses today. There’s a fair chance that play may be uninterrupted. I’m hopeful that there won’t be anything in the area like the downpours that curtailed yesterday’s events.

"The notable, southerly wind of the morning and afternoon will ease to a light, south-easterly through the evening. The day’s high of 22C will gradually dip towards 17-18C later in the evening’s play. The outlook for the rest of the day is for dry weather."

We are only seven days into this Ashes series, but we are at the stage where England must deliver if they want to stay in with a chance of retaining the urn.

A defeat in Adelaide would leave them 2-0 down with a trip to Perth to come. England have not won at the Waca since 1978.

Joe Root's men will know it is absolutely critical that they get as close to Australia as they possibly can.

It will be very hard, but they can do it.

It doesn't matter how long it takes - and there must be no repeat of the self-induced dismissals of the 10-wicket defeat in Brisbane.

England have to be prised out and, in that sense, the tourists can follow Australia's lead.

See that tiny sliver of blue? That's England's chance of winning this match. Yeah...

If you were enjoying a Sunday away from the cricket, then what you missed was Australia scoring lots and lots of runs, and then Mark Stoneman falling early in England's reply.

Luckily, Stephan Shemlit's match report is much more detailed than I am. You can catch up on everything over here.

Good morning! Or afternoon, or even possibly evening. I honestly don't know any more. Welcome to coverage of the third day of this second Test. England will be resuming in about 30 minutes time - weather permitting - on 29-1. They trail Australia by 413 runs but, luckily, the rain arrived in a timely fashion last night to limit how long Alastair Cook and James Vince would have to spend staving off the three Australia quicks under the lights. Today is a massive moment for England.

Picking Shaun Marsh "stunk to high heaven," according to the papers at the start of this Ashes series. The selectors were "morons masquerading as mentors."

One way to answer the critics is to score big. And that's what Marsh did. Can England do the same?
