There's been a conference between the umpires, the coaches and the captains. It was a long discussion.
Lunch is going to be taken at 12:30 and then they will take another look at 13:10.
It's not raining at the moment. It's actually quite hot and humid.
Congratulations to the Root family after the birth of the England captain's second child.
It seems England have a new fan cheering them on today...

Ben Stokes is out in the middle. I can confirm he definitely has two ears. It doesn't look to be raining at the moment.
I have more good news but this time it isn't weather related...

No cardboard cutout fans here like they have in the football. They used to say I was a cardboard cutout when I fielded.

Patrick Smith: Fortunately Stokes has still got both ears (for now).
The lockdown barnets are one of the things I'm looking forward to seeing most in this series.
He may not play in this match but Stuart Broad looks like he's off to play Roger Federer over five sets at Wimbledon.

Promising.

The umpires are coming up again with their umbrellas down, so that's great. All being well, things are looking a bit brighter.
I have good news...

A lot of people criticise England for having a big support staff but they've got a big crowd in!

So far apart, it's difficult to get them into one shot. A socially distanced commentary team of Alastair Cook, Simon Mann and Phil Tufnell.

I'm sure there'll be more significant issues for some of you. Or maybe it just makes it easier to stop hide it from your boss or teacher that you're following?

R rate. Social distancing. Furlough. To the list of things we'd never heard of until 2020 hit, add 'bio-secure environment'.
It started with a home coronavirus test last week. In Southampton, temperatures are taken countless times, there's enough hand gel to sink an aircraft carrier and the reminders to keep a distance even stretch to how many people can sit at each table in the bar.
Do not underestimate the amount of planning that has gone into making this Test series happen.
Jimmy Anderson chatted to BBC Breakfast from inside the bubble earlier, discussing the series and the shirts for key workers...
Jimmy Anderson chats to Sally Nugent all about the cricket bubble.
The England players have been warming up with the names of key workers on the backs of their shirts this morning.
The doctors, nurses, teachers, carers and workers other professions will receive their shirts signed by the players who wore them.
“We’re only able to play this Test match because of the amazing job that key workers up and down the country have done to help us through this pandemic," England's stand-in captain Ben Stokes said.
"Wearing their names is a real honour for us, and is a small sign of our appreciation for the incredible work they have done.
"They have truly gone in to bat for us all, and it makes me proud of how the whole cricket family has responded to help us get through these unprecedented times.”

Michael Holding and our TMS colleague Ebony Rainford-Brent have passionately explained why the movement is so important.
Watch it if you can.

More light drizzle and the umpire has his umbrella up. How frustrating. The groundstaff have taken every sheet off and now they'll have to put them back on. We're now going to face another period of delay.
Aaaaand it's raining again.
