    Ben's point (18:00) is a good one, but shows that we can't play when the light isn't good enough. Has to be a fair contest for both sides.

    I'd like to think so but it might just be the extra light these use for the TV interviews.

    Do you think it has got lighter?

    This is honestly pathetic. Given what the players, staff, and all of you supporting folks have put themselves through in isolation, this is utterly disrespectful. Neither team want to stop, nobody wants to stop. Pick a pink ball of suitable overs and carry on.

    The groundstaff are not putting the pitch to bed for the night yet.

  6. Watch highlights of Rizwan's innings

    Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan will continue on 60 whenever play resumes. He survived a difficult chance to counterpart Jos Buttler when on 14 but has hit five fours in his valuable 116-ball innings.

    Wouldn't it be great if they said tomorrow 'we've missed cricket so we'll start at 10:30' - that would be great. We're all here and we can play an extra hour tomorrow.

    Silver lining for England is they don't have to bat in these conditions.

    We've effectively lost a full day's play now - not to rain but to bad light.

    Night vision technology must be affordable enough by now to just outfit everyone on the pitch. They all wear sunglasses in the middle of the day, so why not?

    Richard Kettleborough has taken the stumps out and he's taken them with him as if they're going in his room tonight.

    Ooh the stumps are out!

  14. The three match officials are out in the centre. The hover cover has not actually covered the wicket, it is a few strips across, with some members of the groundstaff perching on it as they await further instruction. No rain, just the light.

    When there's no crowd and the players live at the ground why can't they say the night before, we are starting at 9.30?

    That's not a great noise to hear, the hover cover being brought on. I don't know if there is drizzle in the air but it could be an indication we are not going to get much more cricket.

    Banks: It is incredibly simple. Make the decision that gets the most play. Look to make up time with longer earlier sessions. No lunch after 1 hour. And use the pink ball for matches for forecasts like this. GET ON WITH IT.

    The umpires are coming out - and I don't think it's with intent because their hats aren't on.

    Why can't two balls be picked by the fielding side at the start of an innings? One red one and one pink one when light becomes an issue.
