    BBC Weather's Ben Rich: "It's a bit of a tricky one. There's a bit of blue sky and cloud. There is some damp and drizzly weather close to Southampton so for a couple of hours there is a chance of interruptions.

    "As we get into the afternoon, there should be some sunshine but still could be a couple of showers."

    And it has now stopped. Nothing more than a passing mizzle.

  7. 'I've questioned myself in last few weeks'published at 10:41 British Summer Time 23 August 2020

    England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler on his century: "I've questioned myself in the last few weeks, but found a really good headspace to hang in there.

    "A couple of games ago I was probably thinking I was about to get dropped.

    "A positive outlook and a belief I can do good things has really served me well.

    "You're never really that far away from good things or bad things happening. When it gets good you've got to stay very level and know you have to keep working hard because things can change fast."

    Four more wickets, and Jimmy will be the first Englishman to take 600 Test wickets, and the first non-spinner to the total.

    He'll be joining a club of Murali, Warne and Kumble. Not bad company to keep, is it?

    Morning!

    A quick reminder on the state of play: Pakistan are 24-3, trailing England by 559 runs, and in a whole heap of trouble.

    As days of Test cricket go, a double century, a century, a commanding total and three wickets for your all-time great fast bowler is a sign of a good 'un.
