5.35pm: Sky now suggest the drizzle has stopped. Charles Dagnall doesn't sound at all confident about the prospects of play tonight. The super-soppers are in operation.

5.30pm: Sky Sports' coverage has just cut to Edgbaston, where it has started drizzling again. Robert Croft says some streets in Birmingham were flooded overnight. There are plenty of people on the concourses, sheltering from the weather.

Further inspection at 6pm. Edgbaston say: "The rain has stopped and the groundstaff are working hard to remove the standing water and get the ground ready for play."

The ECB add: The latest start time for a 25-ball per side match would be 8.16pm.
