If it is a washout I’m looking forward to the outcry from the English.

Not in the spirit of the game is it?

I remember in the 05 series we had a lead and they called consecutive days off due to poor light.

It was a case of about time for Marnus but you have to give him some credit for it. Impressed by what I saw of Marsh digging in.

Most of the forecasts have high chances of rain for most of the day. Suggests no play or very very little. With 5 wickets in hand this should be a draw.

Excellent. England have had all the breaks with winning the toss, cloud cover, and wickets suiting them.

According to BBC weather, 90% chance of rain for each hour rest of the day

Yeah seriously, **** the Poms and their sanctimonious holier than thou bullshit. They've been kissed on the dick endlessly with conditions, have exhibited poor sportsmanship and just generally sooked all series.

Hopefully we get the draw and can concentrate on doing them in the final test just to really rub it into them.

Great.

If I get to bathe in the tears of Piers Morgan and Stuart Broad in the morning I'll be happy as Larry.

Love Twitter finding his 2013 tweet boasting about retaining the ashes due to rain. And tweeting it to him 75,909 times at least so far tonight.

How long have they got before the test is declared a draw, ie is there a minimum of overs that must be able to bowled, or a time limit?

I think 1 hour is the most they can add to the end of the usual end of day time. You'd guess England would take any time they can get.
