Mopping up process underway
It does look much brighter at Edgbaston now. The rain has stopped, and the ground-staff are out there mopping up.
Safe to say we’ll have a delayed start.
Rain, rain, rain
The rain has arrived at Edgbaston in the last 10 minutes, and a decent amount of it too. The full covers are on.
Good morning...
From Edgbaston, where it’s a dry but overcast start to day four.
Bowling coach Mick Lewis summed things up perfectly last night when he said: “We all pray for miracles.”
Yorkshire, at 98-5, have a mountain to climb – and then some – if they are going to get a draw out of this. Although one thing that must be said, there is a bit of rain forecast for later this morning.
Matthew Revis is unbeaten on 37, with George Hill at the crease on 15.
Having dominated day one, Yorkshire have been on the back foot ever since and haven’t reached the levels they desire with bat or ball.
