    BBC Weather's Ben Rich: "There is a lot of cloud around but I don't think it'll be too threatening. There might be the odd spit of rain and a bit of dampness. The risk of drizzle will decline as we get into the afternoon."

    The fact that Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root guided England to 259-3 and we barely batted an eyelid is testament to just how gloriously bonkers England's new era has become.
