Ok, this time blame Sir Alastair for the bad news...

The restart has been pushed back from 14:30 BST to 14:45.

Resume chopping things in half.

It doesn't feel like the umpires are going to walk out. No rollers have been brought out and the cover is still on.

I have actually gone back through to check this for you, Chris! My workings are as follows:

• Arrives at the crease at 56-2
• Innings seemingly ends at 154
• So 98 divided by 2 if the Doctor is scoring roughly half the partnerships runs = 49

Agonisingly short! But that's assuming this umpire signal means 6...

Sam is moaning at me for being too serious and cricket-y. Hopefully this next 'Get Involved' receives his approval...

We have ball-by-ball data available for 2875 of the 3380 five-fers in Test cricket.

Of those 2875, Robinson & Tongue is the only instance of two fiver-fers being completed in consecutive balls.

• One delivery apart (consecutive balls): OE Robinson (47.6) & JC Tongue (48.1) — ENG vs PAK, 2026 (Test #2631)
• Four deliveries apart: WRT Mendis (55.3) & L Embuldeniya (56.1) — SRI vs WI, 2021 (Test #2437); DK Lillee (44.5) & MHN Walker (45.3) — AUS vs ENG, 1975 (Test #760); CRD Fernando (151.5) & M Muralitharan (152.3) — SRI vs SA, 2000 (Test #1526)
• Six deliveries apart: TM Alderman (37.4) & DK Lillee (38.4) — AUS vs ENG, 1981 (Test #903); TL Goddard (141.1) & HJ Tayfield (142.1) — SA vs ENG, 1955 (Test #411)

Earlier today, Olly in Peppard Common got in touch and asked: "Ollie Robinson took his five-fer with the sixth ball of an over, then Tongue lapped up his five-fer with the first ball of the very next over.

"Please could you confirm if yesterday's instance of two fiver-fers being completed in consecutive balls is a first in Test cricket?"

Here are all 10 wickets taken by Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue, now the proud owners of half a match ball each.

Imam-ul-Haq (42) and Abdullah Shafique (61) rebuilt Pakistan's innings either side of the rain delay, putting on 91 (140) for the third wicket.

However, when Josh Tongue broke their partnership - having Imam-ul-Haq caught in the slips by Harry Brook - Pakistan faltered.

Saud Shakeel was too slow to review his lbw dismissal by Ollie Robinson (it would have been overturned) and Shafique fell two overs later to leave Pakistan 118-5.

Muhammad Rizwan and stand-in skipper Salman Agha added 32 for the sixth wicket before the visitors collapsed, losing their final five wickets for 21 to be bowled out for 171.

Robinson finished with 5-51 from his 18 overs - his second Test five-fer of the summer. Tongue bagged 5-46 from 9.1 overs.

After captain Joe Root won the toss and elected to bowl, England enjoyed the perfect start, with Ollie Robinson striking first ball to remove Azan Awais.

The Sussex man then trapped Shan Masood lbw to reduce Pakistan to 6-2.

• Afternoon session: 14:30-16:50
• Tea: 16:50-17:10
• Evening session: 17:10-19:00 (plus an extra half hour)

Now we can start thinking about watching cricket instead of puddles, let's recap what happened on day one at Headingley...

Pakistan's coaches have just emerged to set up the warm-ups.

Good news! Play will restart at 14:30 BST.

(As long as the rain doesn't return...).

More from England bowler Mark Wood on Test Match Special, on the scrutiny the team faced in Australia: "I felt like it was under big pressure. People can say what they want about when Australia come here, they go under the radar, but if they get followed like we got followed in Australia, I would be amazed.

"There was a guy hiding in the bushes with a camera. Me and Stokes went for a walk, and this guy fell out of the bush with his camera. We had reporters running after us, asking us questions.

"People might say ‘why give them an excuse?’ I kind of agree with that. But, also, the scrutiny and pressure the team was under, even in the dressing room – from a team that is usually quite relaxed, there was more heated discussions than I remembered in that team. Lads were trying to get together, looking for answers, rather than just letting it play out.

"This shouldn’t be an excuse. The main problem is we didn’t play well.

"A lot of the times we were doing interviews, saying outlandish things that probably didn’t help the cause. It just felt like a huge pressure cooker, more so than normal.

"It would agree it was a missed opportunity. Cummins and Hazlewood hardly played.

"The feeling is frustration and, from me, a bit embarrassing and gutting."

Stand by your beds people, pitch inspection in two minutes.

More from England bowler Mark Wood on Test Match Special, on what more he could have done to be fit for the Ashes: "Nothing. I tried to play for Durham and I tried to play the T20 series in Ireland, but because they were frightened of my injury I was told not to bowl.

"Coming to Perth my knee probably wasn’t right, and then my hamstring – I’ve never had a hamstring problem in my whole career. I think the hamstring was over-compensating for my knee, protecting my knee, and that’s why it got tight.

"I remember bowling in the nets in Perth, almost convincing myself I’m ready to go, then at the back of my mind thinking ‘I’m nowhere near’.

"The blame shouldn’t be on anybody. The way I feel about it is that I didn’t give a good account of myself. I bowled OK. I’ve watched it back. Woakesy text me at the end of day one and said ‘what’s wrong?’ I said ‘what do you mean’. He said ‘you didn’t look right’.

"It’s weird that people can see that in me. He said ‘you didn’t look like yourself’. I said ‘it’s literally like someone is ramming a hot dagger into the side of my leg every time I’m landing’. That’s an awful place to be in the middle of a game. You have nowhere to go. I’m not really in the battle, trying to push the speed gun, trying not to embarrass myself in front of thousands of people in the ground and millions watching on TV.

"It’s a horrible place to be, and I’ve been in that place a few times, bowling injured. I would never stop bowling. I kept showing up, trying to bowl for the captain if he needed me, but it wasn’t the version of myself that wasn’t going to help the team win.

"I feel a bit of embarrassment, a bit of shame, and real frustration that wasn’t me."

TBM - tunnel boring machine? (Please correct me if I'm on the wrong track).

England bowler Mark Wood speaking to Test Match Special about the 2025-26 Ashes: "I look back on it shamefully. I feel shame. We should have won that first game. The whole tour is different if we win in Perth.

"Australia were there for the taking. We had a hundred lead, then we didn’t get enough runs. The two scores in the first innings were quite low – the Aussies got 150 and we were bowled out for 180.

"Then, when we’re bowled out it’s disappointing because you haven’t had your feet up for very long, but I also felt confident because we’d bowled them out first innings.

"Then the game just seemed to be in fast forward, which is why I feel shame, because the game has finished. It’s a massive bowl stadium. At one point, Gus Atkinson was bowling, we were just bowling bouncers at [Travis] Head and he was smacking them, and I remember looking at the score and thinking ‘this game is finished’.

"I stopped the play and went to Gus to say ‘what are we actually doing here, because this is the last resort. If you don’t change it now, we’re finished, and the game is literally gone’.

"We had a little chat and think. Head was so good that day, then the momentum was with them. I just look back and think ‘what a shame’. It’s a total missed opportunity.

"I look back at it from a personal point of view that I was nowhere near ready."

We'll bring you his quotes (plus more things you've cut in half) while we wait for the 13:45 BST pitch inspection.

Behave!
