Within you without you

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Edgbaston has taken quite a bit of rain and although only a few spots are falling now and the groundstaff are contemplating mopping up the covers, it will be a while before cricket begins.

Umpires to inspect at noon if it is not raining then.

One rather dramatic occurrence since yesterday. The huge turquoise and orange crane which has spent the last fortnight on the Pershore Road side of the Pavilion End has, overnight, moved to the Rea Bank side.

It's motionless now.
