Morning: The weather, alas, did not co-operate.
Afternoon: No play possible due to rain. Match abandoned.
Match DRAWN
The Verdict: For the second weekend in a row the rain foils Worcestershire just as we get on top, but once again, 27 points from Edgbaston and Trent Bridge - enough to leave us temporarily top of the Championship - is more than most of us dared hope for at this stage. The key will be to carry the momentum forward to our first "home" match of the campaign versus Durham at Kidderminster next week, when Dukes balls will make a result far more likely; until then, we'll have the memory of Worcestershire Rejects crumbling before the bowlers they forgot to poach to warm the cockles of our heart.
