A significant downpour occurred at Edgbaston, but India's drainage is commendable, minimizing worries about game delays. Maturity reflects in England's progress, highlighted by their recent ability to chase formidable totals. England now faces a daunting challenge, resuming at 72 for 3, needing 536 runs for victory after losing vital wickets, showcasing their evolution in performance, albeit in a tough scenario.
India shouldn't be worried at this stage: the drainage is excellent and the forecast is better for the rest of the day.
Maturity comes in many forms, from sober wardrobes to sensible haircuts to the uncomplaining recognition that life is inherently futile and we're all going to die.
At Headingley they chased 371 in a calculated manner that would have been impossible three years ago, but the process of maturity never really stops.
England will resume on 72 for 3, needing a further 536 runs to win, after losing both openers and Joe Root last night.
