    That's it for tonight, game suspended as Djokovic takes a very tight second set to a tie break to make it 2-0.

    I watched that. Very close game. Djokovic struggling to get anywhere near that guys serve. Pulled the big shots out when it mattered though.

    Alcaraz through, hope he gives Djokovic a good shoeing.

    Time for change!

    Saturday and Sunday looks like it could be a wash out. This could be a 3 day game. I’ll be happy if they declare on a 50 run lead.

    Not over yet. Play starts at 1. We might only need 2 hours to win this.

    Tall order imo

    5 wickets to take but I don't expect them to score many

    however the conditions will make it difficult for the batters so you could be right

    Only 8 or 9 overs until we get the new ball. That also goes in our favour. Spinners looked dangerous yesterday, if they can pick up another wicket before the new ball then Wood and Woakes can rip through the tail.

    I’ve just realised we are playing at the West Indies in December but none of the games are in Jamaica. Gutted. Would have been nice to nip along for a game.

    Nah, there’s no chance of play today. Expect it to be called a draw between 4.30 and 5.

    Off to pick my cash up. Possibly the easiest money I've ever made.
