according to weather.com...the weather in durham is horrible...looks like a wash out...60-70% chance of rain the first 3 days

[pilot fan]

weather supossed to be oky for tomorrow but rain on sat and sun

[Rob]

The BBC weather which is more accurate for weather in England says rain tomorrow but OK for the rest of the match.

That should be enough time to beat you.

BTW, the BBC website will be streaming commentary, available only for those in the UK though.

[Cricket46]

Has anything changed from the first test vis a vis the audio commentary by BBC? I listened to it very clearly and as always radio commentary is a treat. As a matter of fact, I was planning on listening this time as well.

[mwrkhan]

I have always listend to TMS on 5 live BBC commentary online and I am outside the UK. Something different this time?

BTW about 5 sessions without rain ought to be sufficient for England to finish the job I am afraid.

Here are some pictures from today's practice session.
Looks like rain stopped at last and both team got some opportunity to practice on ground.

Maybe someone could make this thread sticky until the match ends so that people don't miss it and start a duplicate thread.

BTW babuji...I can only see one image. Maybe you could try to post the rest again.

[Faceoff]

hmm i can see all the pics.

[BioMEMS]

uh..it's fine now. thanks!

[Dawah]

SO BD players are not practicing bating?

[Akib]

You would think that the first thing they would practice was batting. But oh well. They know (well... kind of) what they are doing. In training at least.

[babubangla]

Kind of confused with the match start time.
The match starts at: 5AM Central Time/6AM Eastern Time...is this correct?

[al Furqaan]

anyone know if the weather will permit play??? any chance of delays?

[Alomelo]

check the weather forecast at BBC:

[Orpheus]

directv program guide was showing game starts at 4:30 am Central . cricinfo showing 10:00 GMT, BC showing 9:45 GMT. Enough with timing...I will stick to 4:30-5:00am central.

It's widely expected that the 2nd test at Durham is going to be much more tougher than that one in the Lord's. Dav Whatmore also predicts a more dismal show by the Tigers.
So, folks, be mentally prepared for the worst, but keep on praying for the best.

[RBTiger]
