Eng 4/2 after 8 balls!. Rain stopped play.

Match Abandoned due to heavy rain in Manchester.

2nd T20 at Old Trafford on [iTuesday [/inight at [i6:30pm[/i.

7pm start tomorrow...here's hoping the weather improves...if the bl00dy umpires hadn't have been so wet yesterday we would have had a result - the weather wasn't at all bad when they were sat around for an hour before the start of the abandoned England innings...cricket doesn't help itself sometimes

It's dark in Old Trafford at the moment.

The rate this rain in coming down it might just put paid to tonight's game.

Start delayed by heavy rain earlier, outfield saturated. Inspection at 7:45.

Match Abondoned...what a farce, 98% playable according to the Sky Commentators.

There's a new groundsman at OT this season and after this debacle there might be another new one next season.

Not again

Old Trafford really pulling out the stops to ensure Test Match cricket doesn't return to Manchester. Leaking covers? Why couldn't that small area be covered properly? And we complain about the professionalism (or lack of) of the RFL

To defend the Lancashire ground staff the amount of rain that fell yesterday afternoon was immense. It caused flash floods in areas around Manchester.

They were up against it from when that happened unfortunately and it proved to be the case.
