Afraid most true groundhoppers would veto that one, Simon.

It only counts if you see some play. Tours of a ground don't count either, I think.

Simon Wilcox: Hmm, can I tick the ground off my list to visit even if there's no play?

Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

Did England bat on too long before declaring? It's hard to be critical. This England have played a Test match against Australia as good as we have seen in many generations. They've absolutely hammered them in every aspect of the game. The question will be asked, at the end of the game, could Ben have declared after lunch? I did wonder at lunch yesterday there was a brief rain delay, when they had a 189-run lead. I don't see this Australia side is there, mentality wise, to get 400 or 450. Australia would be closer, but maybe seven wickets down.

Yes, Jon. BBC Weather's Louise Lear said a little earlier there might be a short window.

I guess the big issue is whether the groundstaff can get everything dry in time for the fastidious officials to be satisfied play can actually start before the next band comes in.

Jon Evans: At least one weather forecast I've looked at is predicting some play this afternoon. Hope it's right

Will Australia's players mind the rain? I suppose not! It is what it is. I'd be more concerned looking ahead to The Oval and hoping we don't get a damp squib there. We hope this series, which has been so exciting, doesn't end in that way.

Australia's players have made their leisurely arrival with the rain still falling.

Captain Pat Cummins points to a soggy area that is starting to develop at the edge of the covers.

You could be right, John. Although the last time Lancashire won the County Championship in 2011 they played all but one of their matches away from Old Trafford. Was the weather a factor then?

The rain really is quite heavy now.

Some stats around rain, venues and washed out days compared to Australia.

Perth has never had a complete day washed out. One in Hobart, two in Adelaide, eight in Brisbane, nine at the MCG and 24 washed out days in Manchester.

But top of the leaderboard is Sydney with 25.

Thanks, Callum.

It's looking pretty bleak out there isn't it?

Time for me to go for a break so Timothy Abraham will bring you all your suggestions.

Hopefully he'll deliver some better weather news too.

Enjoy.

You're probably wondering why I'm telling you that, but time for another challenge.

I want your cricket wedding players/XI - I'm thinking Andy Flower but I'm sure you can do much better.

Send them in using #bbccricket, WhatsApp us on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply).

I'm going to hand over shortly, before I do (pun not intended!).

We've got two weddings in the BBC cricket team today.

Ffion Wynne, who is a familiar name to you all, is getting married in Wales.

While our social media producer Sam Bryant is also tying the knot.

I suspect both will be intensely following this live text when they get a chance.

Congratulations to both!

BBC Weather

BBC Weather presenter Louise Lear: "Overnight there is heavy rain forecast so when you wake up tomorrow morning it's going to be pretty miserable. We are optimistic it's an improving picture on Sunday and into the afternoon should be better. It will be raining at 0900 BST but I think a delayed start is most likely. There will still be some interruptions in the afternoon. It will be touch and go. Nobody wants this Test ended by the weather!"

BBC Weather

BBC Weather presenter Louise Lear: "It is going to be cloudy all day and once the heavy rain eases it's going to stay damp and drizzly. I am not expert as to what point you say 'it's dry enough let's get on the pitch' and I'm sure the Australians will be saying it's not dried off, and England will be keen to get on."

BBC Weather

BBC Weather presenter Louise Lear: "It was always forecast that today was going to be a tricky one. And it's not changed looking at what's happened this morning. We've seen some heavy rain so far. It's turning light and drizzly at the moment. Interestingly there is a bit of a window, so maybe around lunchtime you might get an hour or two, when the rain eases. How much drizzle and dampness is around at that time, it's tough to tell. After that there is another pulse of weather. If we do get a window of opportunity, it's going to be a very brief one."

Time for a weather update from someone who actually knows what they are talking about, rather than me or Matt.

If and when we see more cricket Isa Guha and Alex Hartley have picked out Chris Woakes and Mark Wood as England's key bowlers.

Here's why.
