I'll feel really sorry for Irish cricket if this one is rained off.

And it's a televised match, hopefully it stays dry enough.

Apparently there will be an inspection at 6am, which suggests they're just going to confirm that the ground is too wet, and Australia can get the bus early to their next venue.

Bit crappy for the non-contracted players who might have played though. They would have got a cheap "2 points" on the way to getting a new contract.

Doesn't look like a lot of rain on the radar. Just a question of whether the ground is already too sodden.

Hopefully the forecast is just bet-hedging. Doesn't look too promising. Less than an hour to the start of play and no update from Dickinfo.

Confirmed start of 11.30 with the requisite fifty overs still to be bowled. Amazed they're getting a start, I've been to Ireland twice - north and south and have never had a day when it hasn't rained yet!!

Aye, it doesn't look set fair but it looks good enough for play.

Fair old pace from Cummins - 93.5...

Good lift too. Looks the biz.

Yup quite impressed, aus should have a good attack next ashes. Could be a cracker of a series.

Bob Willis sat in Belfast saying ' should be a smashing series here in England'

I see Tim Murtagh got a gig for the Irish.

Bloody Irish coming over here and nicking our players, what?

Rain......

Dickinfo:

1.25pm: Looks like the rain has abated again, with attempts being made to mop up. Apparently the DJ at the ground has just been playing Walking on Sunshine ... The famous Irish sense of humour there.

That first ball from Bung was an absolute peach.

Fast, a bit of movement, hitting the top of off stump. Who would have thought that might be a successful tactic?
