Persistent rain left puddles three inches deep at the northern end of the ground. Ground curator Jack McAndrew anticipated lifting the covers in the morning and noted tarpaulins and corner covers to prevent water flow. Despite saturation, the start was expected at 11:30 a.m. with England naming a 12-man team and Willie Watson as 12th man. Freddie Trueman was ruled unfit.
