Apparently it's been raining here all morning and much of the night.
Not so. 0.2mm since midnight to add to 4.8mm yesterday.

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.
