Yes, I guess it answers my earlier question that the earliest time lunch can be taken is 12pm.
Yeah, it's not a question which I knew the answer to, but I guess it makes some sense. Afterall, it is "lunch".
Fortunately not only has it stopped raining here now, but there's a lot of blue sky too! Looks like we're still on for at 12.40 start.
It'll be interesting who we open with. I'm not sure if we took the new ball last night or not. I'm guessing we didn't. But even if we did, then at most it's only three overs old. And it's been raining this morning. And these two batsmen have seemed to deal OK with our spinners. And McLaren only has five overs in his legs. So all of that leads to opening with seam. But the pitch is turning, and in theory (although very unlikely I would suggest) we could yet find ourselves bowling again very soon afterwards, if these last three fall in no time (which you would prefer to do with seamers who are as fresh as possible).
Plus there's the issues of Dawson cut hand and Crane's economy.
