Why did they stop at quarter to 7 Las night? Surely should've played til 7 and should do so every day the full amount of overs aren't bowled.

Yeah I didn’t understand this either
Given the forecast, you’d think the sensible approach would have been to play as long as possible on the dry days

Bowlers need to be sprinting straight back to their marks. Whack a bit of benny hill music on for the crack.

Yeah totally agreed with this. Especially with how bad over rates are these days.
They’ll be shattered getting the pitch ready after the rain they’ve had like. Hope they’re well compensated with drinks tonight

Good question and they do the same in Sri Lanka/Bangladesh ordinarily.
Albeit Manchester isn't quite as monsoon like as Dhaka or Galle. But it's pretty much the English equivalent as far as test cricket grounds go.
