The Ashes, 4th Test at Old Trafford, Day 4: We were supposed to have a washout, and it looked that way. But after a lot of rain, the ground staff went to work and prised out 30 overs of play. Enough for a Test century against the grain, some fierce fast stuff, a spin-bowling anomaly, and a fashion statement from one of our most discussed umpires. This Test is still alive.
