    Looks like Ralf Ragnick has taken the Mancunian weather with him! Hopefully Gordon Greenidge can teach him a thing or two about scoring.

    Is it possible to say we'll take tea now. A little 20 minute period. Play a two hour session and then have lunch later. Or is cricket just too conventional for that?

    The umpires are on the field. They are poking the turf with their brollies. It doesn't seem to be raining and there are pockets of blue skies.

    But... the covers are firmly on.

  6. What's happened so far today?published at 15:23 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2022

    Alex Lees scored 24 before heaving one into the leg side and then Joe Root was out for nine, both men dismissed by spinner Veerasammy Permaul.

    Zak Crawley played well for a 68-ball 40 but was then dismissed by Alzarri Joseph courtesy of a great catch by John Campbell.

    Ben Stokes is unbeaten on 18 and Dan Lawrence is 12 not out - both men showing clear intent having cleared the rope.

    But, for the second time this morning, rain has halted England's charge. And this stoppage is lasting longer than the previous one.

    Will let you know as soon as we hear news of when play will resume.

    It's testament to the skills of Stokes and Lawrence for being able to play shots like that on this wicket.

    The last day is everything we wanted it to be but the weather is breaking up the rhythm a bit and it might be taking too much time out of the game.

    After that onslaught from Lawrence and Stokes, England's lead has now reached 202.

    There's nothing the umpires can do. These showers are generally lasting a matter of minutes. But it's highly frustrating.

    Ben Stokes is looking in the mood. The stage is set...

    Brilliant! Dan Lawrence gets in on the act by clearing his front foot and slapping Alzarri Joseph for six.

  14. Eng 99-3published at 26 overs

    Roach varies his speed with a couple of off-cutters but England are wise to it.

    A four, a six, a couple of extras and four singles. That's 17 off the over and England's lead shoots up to 195.

    Lead by 189

    Superb. Stokes drags it over mid-wicket and clears the man on the boundary.

  16. Eng 87-3published at 25.1 overs

    Stand. And. Deliver. Ben Stokes hangs back and carves Kemar Roach for four.

  17. Eng 82-3published at 25 overs

    Alzarri Joseph, like Jason Holder earlier, finds that extra bounce from back of a length - the ball whizzing past Lawrence at shoulder height.

    Four singles from the over before Lawrence bottom edges a wild swing, the ball falls down on his boot and narrowly misses the stumps.

  18. Eng 78-3published at 24 overs

    The clouds have dispersed. The sun has arrived.

    A single each to Lawrence and Stokes.

    A passing shower it was. Stokes takes his guard again. Four deliveries remaining in Kemar Roach's over.

    Kraigg Brathwaite, wearing a stained red Windies cap, is smiling by the boundary edge. Ben Stokes and Dan Lawrence, sitting on a bench like naughty schoolboys, are still padded and gloved up.

    I think we're not far away from play resuming.
