Southampton weather forecast tomorrow: What is the weather prediction for third England vs Pakistan Test at Ageas Bowl?

Southampton weather forecast tomorrow: The SportsRush presents for you the detailed weather prediction for the third ENG vs PAK Test.

The third Test of the ongoing Pakistan’s tour of England will commence from tomorrow at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton. Coming on the back of playing for only 134.3 over in the last match, all of the players, organizers and fans would be keen to witness a full match irrespective of the result.

Given the amount of work done behind putting this series in place, one would hope that the weather doesn’t interfere to the extent that the match ends in a wearisome draw.

On the eve of the match, England have announced an unchanged 14-man squad for the third Test which means that they are unlikely to make any changes to their batting department. However, it will be interesting to see if the hosts tinker with their bowling combination tomorrow.

As far as Pakistan are concerned, one doesn’t expect them to make many changes too. Despite the failure of batsman Fawad Alam in the last match, he should make it to the Playing XI for dropping him after one innings in the last 11 years will be too harsh on him.

To the dislike of all the stakeholders, the third Test will continue to cause a threat as far as rain is concerned. While the exact amount can’t be predicted, one also can’t deny that the current prediction pretty much sees rain pouring down on almost all days of the match.

Barring the fourth day (Monday) of the Test, which has a rain probability of just 25%, all other days have probability ranging around 50%. Therefore, don’t be saddened if you see your TV screens showing highlights with a rain disclaimer at the bottom tomorrow.

Considering that the match will be played under clouds, fast bowlers of both the sides would be keen to trouble the opposition batsmen especially with the new ball.
