keeper and bowler, excellent take by Read, but there was no touch
of willow in that one

to officially abandon play for the day, join us again tomorrow on
CricInfo for the final day's play beginning at 1000GMT
Heavy overnight rain in Manchester combined with early morning
drizzle means there will be no play before lunch.
Some of the covers have been removed to allow the water-hogs to
remove surface water. The players will take lunch at 1pm and the
