Please join us from 10:30 BST tomorrow for day five to find out whether England can wrap up victory or West Indies battle it out for a brave draw.

Should hopefully be a cracking day - and we could well see Stuart Broad claim his 500th Test wicket.

While you wait - the report of a washed-out day four is here.

The scorecard is here.

There will be a Test Match Special podcast, featuring a brilliant chat with West Indies all-rounder and shipping forecast master Carlos Brathwaite, available later here.

And Tuffers & Vaughan will be on BBC Radio 5 Live at 21:00 tonight.

And if that's not enough - there are plenty of highlights from the Test so far to watch on the cricket section of the BBC Sport website and app.

See you tomorrow. Go well.

A real shame not to see any cricket but the persisent rain today does completely vindicate England's approach on day three.

Stuart Broad took the final four West Indies first innings wickets quickly, before Rory Burns and Dom Sibley gave England a solid platform.

Joe Root then added some impetus with a quickfire half-century, allowing him to declare and set West Indies an unlikely 399 to win.

And Broad capped off a stellar day with two wickets late on - you can watch highlights of how that all unfolded below...

The news we feared this morning looking at the forecast and have really just been waiting for these last few hours.

Day four of the third Test between England and West Indies at Emirates Old Trafford has been abandoned without a ball being bowled because of rain.

Fortunately the forecast for day five tomorrow is overcast but mainly dry, with only the odd shower possible.

So England should have plenty of time to pick up the final eight West Indies wickets they need to win the Test and reclaim the Wisden Trophy with a 2-1 series victory.

Right. Well we can be sure the planned 15:00 inspection isn't taking place given that it's absolutely heaving it down over this area of Manchester right now.

It may not be too long before we see play abandoned for the day.

A quick update - the umpires are planning an inspection at 15:00 BST if there is no further rain.

That's a big if and the outfield is sodden so it will take a monumental effort to get it ready for play.

But fingers crossed. Check back in 50 minutes.

Right. It's belting it down again at Old Trafford. No prospect of any play any time soon.

So we'll park this live text for now and update you when we have any more news later.

Test Match Special is still on air and there are highlights all over the BBC Sport website for you to catch up on.

Catch you later.

Carlos Brathwaite finishes the Q&A by recalling his time playing for Leinster in Ireland.

"I switched to Guinness from cider because it was cheaper."

A wonderful chat with Simon Mann and well worth listening back to.

Before the World Cup I said I wanted to start collect jerseys from players I played against. Before the final I said if we play England again I want Stokes' shirt.

So after the game I called Chris Jordan and said commiserations and that I'd like to speak to Stokes if he was willing. We talked, he said well played and that I could have his shirt. It wasn't a big long chat but a moment of mutual admiration.

I can't take any credit for the way Stokes has gone on from that moment, he reacted the way he did after that game. With that humiliation and devastation some players go on and find themselves.

The West Indies need a pathway. You look at England and Australia, past players go into coaching and have an impact on the game.

I don't think that great past players have done enough to pass on how they did what they did.

I put too much pressure on myself to be the hero of every game I played after the final.

People would come up to me saying "remember the name" and my performances started to dip as that felt like a burden or curse.

It was only last year that I thought I have had an impact on so many lives, it's a privilege to have that on you. It's not a curse, try and enjoy it and I can now talk about it because I have embraced it.

I had the opportunity to share the moment with my wife as she was there. How many times do you think you will be involved in a World Cup final? Let alone share it with your partner or wife?

I had to remember I was hearing the BBC commentary of that moment just now, I've normally listened to the Ian Bishop one.

I'll have to get Aggers to say "remember the name".

There was no sympathy for Stokes on his knees at that time, we still needed one to win. I thought the third six was out, the bat span in my hand at my heart was in my mouth.

There was then a bit of a break, so it was after that third ball there was a bit of time to think. I thought just enjoy this, you never know what might happen in the future. I thought about the women's team who had to stop celebrating their victory and sacrifice their time celebrating to watch us. It was an opportunity to say thank you.

It's hammering it down where I live about two miles from the ground.

That early afternoon dry window isn't coming to pass sadly.

The second six came out the screws. If I had to hit a six to save my life that is where I would want the ball.

I knew England only had one or two plans, wide or straight yorkers so my focus was getting bat on ball. I didn't want to work out our chances, I just wanted to get bat on ball.

The first three balls happened so quickly. 6, get the ball bowl, 6 get the ball bowl, 6 get the ball bowl.

I was on autopilot for the first three balls. Stokes should have given me more time to think about what I needed to do.

I thought I'd sit down with a cup of coffee and watch Gayle or Samuel knock the runs off and we'd be champions. We would have loved to have been casing 150 before the start of the match.

We saw Root warming up and thought "this doesn't make sense". Then we lost two wickets in the first over but still thought we just need one partnership. Then Willey strikes and I thought I may have a big part to play with the bat here.

I remember looking around and thought "I want this moment". We didn't actually know who was supposed to be going out to bat, it was me and the bowlers left, so I just jumped up and went out.

All my practice leading up to the World Cup, and during the tournament, was on making contact with the ball. Chances are you only get 10 or 12 balls so you don't want to miss 3 of those balls.

In the final I only missed 1 ball and it was culmination of all that planning. I had eradicated all the swinging and missing.

You want to maximise the small passage of play that you can affect.

I'd completely forgotten that - what was Virat Kohli doing bowling the final over?!
