I'm less than 20 miles west & north of Lords.
Overnight rain, mid-Summer Sun attempting to break through the cloud cover.
Humidity high and rising.
If this was a Test match you would expect jimmy Anderson/Stuart Broad to get a hatful before lunch.
Realise the white ball is not so advantageous,
but Woakes must be licking his lips.I'm also expecting Lyon to cause problems during the runchase on a sun-drenched wicket in the afternoon.

Oh, definitely bowl all day (hopefully less) with the red ball. Not been impressed by England's failed chases in the two games vs Pakistan and Sri Lanka though. Some rash shot choices and loss of composure. It might not be the day for it with the humidity, etc (which doesn't come across in the pictures), but I think they'd be better setting a total.
