39 overs remaining but lights are on and it's pretty gloomy. Can't imagine the students will enjoy batting in these conditions.

Umpires may have been too hasty in calling it off. Quite a bit brighter now.

reasonably bright here, this morning. The forecasted washout is looking unlikely atm

Yes. Much better than expected. Good for the bowlers to get plenty of overs in although there's always a concern that Coughlin will get injured! He's bowling better than the figures suggest. When I arrived it looked like I might have brought rain again but clear blue skies now.

I've noticed that Pottsy has been holding his right wrist on his way back to his mark. Hope that's nothing
