Starting with that very particular pain of being an England fan: namely, it looking like the first day will be entirely washed out.

I'd be surprised if we lose an over. It's already stopped raining in North London and the Lord's drainage is legendary.
It'll stay cloudy enough to make bowling first a strong possibility though.

Chance of rain during playing hours peaks at 19%. I'd expect most of a days play.

Ahhhh, the first TMS of the season. Wonderful. I’ll miss this so much over the winter...

Win the toss and bat is the standard......but with weather and a green pitch could be a good toss to lose this one

England 6 for how many then? 6 for 30? Bit optimistic? Wood in, Matt must be gutted.

Pierre: That is optimistic! Being serious, I’ll go for four down. Agree with Cook out first though.

Think this is going to look a bit like the Ireland test. Very difficult for the top order, much less difficult for the late middle order. Good news for Jos...

36/3 after first hour is my prediction. Can't help but think Broaderson would have done some serious damage this morning

Here we go... I sense a lot of edges this morning.
Broaderson need to PITCH IT UP when it comes to that.
