Rain delayed the start of day three of the fourth Ashes Test between Australia and England .
Play was scheduled to start at 11:00 BST on Friday but drizzle usually means that the covers are on.
With England awaiting restart on 23-1, trailing by 474 the weather has been set to improve from around 13:00.
Even the five-match series is tied at 1-1, but victory for Australia at Manchester this week will soon see these retain the Ashes.
Batsman Steve Smith scored a sublime 211 on Thursday allowing Australia to announce on 497-8 before England opener Joe Denly fell for four.
Rain shortened day one but the forecast is for dry weather during the weekend.
Was Ben Stokes’ Test at Headingley the England triumph of time?
