I see it's been raining at Headingly. The players came off after a few overs
due to hail!

The temperature was somewhere between 7 and 8°C during the
brief episode of play this morning. As far as I have been able to
research, this is probably the lowest temperature at which Test
cricket has ever been played in the UK (or, indeed, anywhere
in the world). Play on 28th May 1965 (Eng. v. NZ) at
Edgbaston took place at a temperature which ranged between
8 and 10°C during the day with a nasty northeast wind.

That's very interesting; I'd vaguely wondered from time to time who held
this particular record. I wonder whether any games New Zealand have
approached this level of cool? Though it strikes me that if the start of
the English international season keeps getting pushed earlier and earlier,
it's just about possible that one day we might see "Snow stopped play" in a
Test match!

Not I, but my wife has just heard a similar comment on BBC1 TV News.

At least the weather relented long enough for England to complete a
crushing victory.

Not me either... I heard this, and was expecting at least a "so says Philip
Eden" or similar.
