IT'S HAPPENING!
Play will start in 10 minutes time. One giant session.
There will be a further inspection at 16:00 BST but there's a positive twist, it is with a view to starting play at 16:15 BST.
We could finally have some cricket today!
It's stopped raining, it's quite bright and, you know, we might get some cricket...
The news from the inspection is there'll be another inspection at 3pm.

It's actually been a pretty remarkable turnaround. If you'd said 45 minutes ago that the groundstaff would be able to get out there, let alone schedule an inspection, I'd have been asking questions of your sanity. Yet, here we are, with a genuine prospect of play at some point later on. Players and staff have emerged from the hotel, and the fourth umpire is wandering around with a holstered umbrella. The caveat is that it's very wet underfoot and the time spent mopping up is an opportunity for more rain to arrive. The forecast is clear, though...

There is driving wind and rain on the last day of Test cricket this summer. What a shame. It's very bleak.
It's still sensational, isn't it?

The word we have is it will take four or five hours, after it's stopped raining, for this field to be fit for play.
BBC Test Match Special
Test Match Special are replaying the final hour from Headingley, which I can 10000% recommend.
After that, there'll be a chat about that ridiculous day with Glenn McGrath, Michael Vaughan and the people's hero, Jack Leach.
Listen in!
Also, Happy Headingley Day!

It's been a frustrating couple of days for England, with the weather and Pakistan's new-found determination.
Still, there was enough play yesterday for Jimmy to get his 599th wicket and watch yet another dropped catch off his bowling.

Sigh.
Now, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...
