has been a cold, wet, miserable morning in London and, unsurprisingly, it looks like we’re going to have a delayed start.Things did clear up briefly, the covers were off, the pitch was cut and it was all very encouraging.Unfortunately, the rain has since returned and the covers are firmly in place for the time being.
