DMG Shaw in the TMS inbox: "Re: ViewFromTheKop (see below) - I think the problem is that the in Australia there will be flatter wickets and better batsmen who are also in better form than their Bangladeshi counterparts. You seem to have been infected with the same frivolous optimism as Benitez when he guaranteed you chaps fourth."

1140: Still raining, all a bit rubbish to be honest, we're unlikely to get any play before lunch. "Da homies were sending down some serious bumpers, da fools didn't know I was simmerin' underneath my cable-knit jumper; I cut those muthas and gave them some serious static, it was like I was batting with a semi-automatic."

Steve, in unusually sunny and warm northern Germany, in the TMS inbox: "No play today? So, just for Fred (1058) the first hip-hop lines go: 'Da muther started outside leg but it hit the off peg and it just ain't funny bein' Shane Warne's bunny.'"

1125: The thing is ViewFromTheKop (see below), Bangladesh don't actually have any "awesome" batsmen - of their top seven in this match, only one averages above 40, two average in the 30s, three in the 20s and one 13. Mixed news from Lord's - the rain has got heavier, while Aggers has just unveiled his new i-Pad live on air. Alec Stewart is singularly unimpressed, although Alex is the sort of no-nonsense character who would have been unimpressed by Gutenberg's printing press had he been around back then.

From ViewFromTheKop on 606: "It amuses me that everyone's slating our attack after two sessions on a flat wicket in good conditions. People seem to forget that Bangladesh have some awesome batsmen in good form."

Sta in the TMS inbox: "I'm going to see the Gentleman Rhymer at this year's Discworld convention. Perhaps I shall add cricket aspects to my Steampunk vampire costume."

1104: Film director Stephen Frears will be chatting to Aggers in View from the Boundary, and I'm told they might not wait until lunch if the weather continues in this vein. From My Beautiful Laundrette to The Queen, he's been knocking out movies for a good few years now.

1058: "If anybody needs a time-filler before play starts, check out Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer... could you think of anything better than cricket-themed hip-hop?" emails Fred from London. No, Fred, I'm not sure I could... drizzle at Lord's, more covers being dragged into place...

From hopeforthebest on 606: "Poor bowling yesterday - we shouldn't need the conditions against this side. Line and length, pressure, wild slash and out. Anderson was very poor and Finn doesn't seem to have much."

1048: The rain isn't heavy, but the wicket is still covered and we certainly won't be starting at 11. A weather chap was just on the radio saying we might not have play until 2, but that seems unduly pessimistic to me, it doesn't look anywhere near that bad.

1041: Junaid Siddique resumes on 53, and he shaped up pretty well yesterday, some decent strokes played. England's seamers tried to bounce him out but he's made of stern stuff, as he showed in scoring a maiden Test ton at Chittagong in March. Steve Finn was probably the pick of England's bowlers, in fact he was the only one to take a wicket. Still, once this rain clears, it should be more conducive for bowling today.

1037: Hello. A sad, sad start to my day as I received a text from a former girlfriend informing me that Gary "Watchoo talkin' about Willis" Coleman has passed on to the great Hollywood party in the sky. It put England's rather insipid bowling display yesterday in perspective. Spit-spots of rain in London, we won't be starting on time...
