Rain threatens to dampen Southampton's big day

England's first appearance at the Rose Bowl could turn into a damp squib if the weather forecasters are right. Although the day started bright, a belt of rain is forecast to sweep across southern Britain during the morning, and although things should improve later, it seems odds-on that the game will spill over into a second day.

Full toss report to follow shortly.
