[greg]

These are the worst figures in Glenn McGrath's career.The most he has gone for without a wicket is 83 before this game currently 0-86.Shouldn't be playing.Ruining his career average this.taken him from 21.1 to 21.2

[Occasional Fan]

It's a shame that during this short rain break the commentators are speculating - before lunch on the second day - that this game is headed for a draw. One of the reasons is that tomorrow's weather forecast is for rain. Well, we can hope - but this is Manchester!

Just knew it would rain at Old Trafford.

That's two dismissal's in the last two games where he has been out not hitting them ball. But why on earth he's not put the hook away - against Lee and the new ball - I don't know!

McGrath's looked extremely jaded. I've not noticed a ball reach 80 mph from him yet, he's getting a little bit of swing but dosn't look that dangerous.

Play will continue at 11:50 am BST!

Good shot after rain...

I said 380! Ah a wide thank god.

I hope the rain doesn't let them off the hook. They've selected the wrong players and we have finally won a toss. This one is here for the taking.
