Current Weather In Edgbaston Cricket Ground: Weather in Birmingham Tomorrow For Day 4 Of 1st Ashes 2023 Test

Unlike the second day of the ongoing first Ashes 2023 Test match, the third day of the match has witnessed play getting interrupted due to the current weather at Edgbaston Cricket Ground. With rain expected to play spoilsport today, it has justified the rain prediction with players having no option than to walk off the park in the second session.

With England bundling out Australia for 386 in 116.1 overs right before the lunch break, England could face only 6.5 overs in their second innings before the rhythm of opening batters Zak Crawley (7*) and Ben Duckett (18*) was disturbed by the weather gods.

In what didn’t appear to be a heavy outburst at first, it was strong enough for the umpires to not even let Australia captain Pat Cummins bowl a ball to complete his fourth over of the innings.

In what doesn’t appear to be the best of weather forecasts for the remainder of Day 3, rain is expected to pour down in Birmingham throughout the playing hours on Sunday. As a result, it wouldn’t be surprising if players remain off the ground for an elongated duration of time or are forced to leave the playing area due to another interruption.
