    I packed my shorts for this week. I think that may have been optimistic.

    To confirm, we'll have no play before lunch on the first day of the WTC final in Southampton.

    The bad weather may skirt around Bristol, so let's stay optimistic for action there from 11:00 BST.

    And when I say covered, I mean covered.

    We'll have video highlights and Test Match Special commentary from both games in this page.

    Read, listen and watch both games all in one place.

    Right then.

    We have England v India in the one-off Test in Bristol. India will resume on 187-5 in reply to England's 396-9 declared.

    At some point over the next five (six?) days, we'll have New Zealand v India in the final of the World Test Championship.

    Stick with us, we'll have both games covered right here.

    The good news is that's it's not raining in Bristol. Er, yet, anyway. There's a suggestion that the rain might just miss us, but that's based on four of us using four different weather apps to try and predict things. To the right of the photo is the India team, who had a long huddle this morning...

    Hello from Southampton where I’m sorry to say it is very, very wet. It has been raining, quite heavily, pretty much non-stop since yesterday afternoon. The forecast suggests this could stick around all day.

    The reserve 'sixth' day could come in useful.

    Except we might have to wait a little while for some dual red-ball action...

    How about two Tests at the same time?
