London Weather Today: Will rain spoil the final day of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy?
But if the weather Gods are harsh, they could make things very tricky for everyone involved. Already, weather had played a role in the series and in the fifth Test, with the match being pushed into the fifth day only because of bad light and heavy spell of rain on Sunday, the fourth day of the Test.
Will rain intervene again today?
Rain is predicted on Monday, August 4 around the south London area. Much to the relief of cricket fans and possibly both sets of players, weather forecasts predict that rain won't come in until the afternoon.
The BBC Weather forecast for London states: 'Any early brightness this morning will be replaced by thick cloud and spells of patchy light rain. It will turn windy in the afternoon with outbreaks of rain developing for the rest of the day.'
This could mean that the game might be over by the time the rain Gods decide to have a say.
Meanwhile, here's Accuweather's weather prediction for London today: 'Mostly cloudy and breezy; a couple of showers this afternoon.'
After 2 pm, the chances of rain is expected to increase to 60 percent.
Meanwhile, UK's Met Office have placed chances of rain interrupting the morning session at 40 percent by 11 am. This forecast rises to 60 percent by mid day and then steady rain is predicted until 5 pm.

Underground drain network to rid Prayagraj of waterlogging
Sangam city may soon find relief from the perpetual problem of waterlogging during the monsoon, with the Uttar Pradesh Jal Nigam's Construction and Design Services (C&DS) preparing a comprehensive drainage project. Commuters wade through a waterlogged road in an area in Prayagraj. (File Photo) A south India-based firm has already presented the plan to state government officials and the government has allocated ₹10 crore for an in-depth survey before execution. As part of the exercise, the drains in every locality will be widened and connected to an underground network of drains which will flow directly into the Ganga and Yamuna. These drains will be exclusive for channelling the rainwater from different localities of the city into the river, officials aware of the development said. According to project manager Rohit Kumar, widening of the drains is not the objective and is part of the plan. Past experiences show that during the monsoon season in Prayagraj, the rainwater does not flow into the rivers, leading to waterlogging in the city. 'A technical remedy is being developed to ensure that every drop of rainwater is drained into the river. For this, a GI survey of all localities will be carried out, and a Google map of the entire district will also be made,' Kumar explained. As per Kumar, work will initially begin in the worst-hit areas like Niranjan railway bridge, Allahpur and George Town, etc, and will be completed before the next rainy season. According to district magistrate Manish Kumar Verma, the problem of waterlogging in urban areas is huge. 'C&DS has prepared a project regarding this on which work has already been started. The problem will be solved soon,' he added.

NDRF deploys cadaver dogs for Uttarkashi ops
Last Updated: New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) The NDRF has decided to deploy its first-ever team of cadaver dogs to help locate those feared dead in the cloudburst incident in Uttarakhand, official sources said on Tuesday. A pair of these dogs will be airlifted from Delhi even as three teams of the force, comprising 35 rescuers in each, have been rushed to the incident site from various locations in the state. Two more National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams are awaiting airlift from the Dehradun airport, they said. Disaster swept through the Himalayan village of Dharali on the way to Gangotri on Tuesday with a massive cloudburst leading to flash floods that barrelled through homes, trees, and cars, trapping 60-70 people and leaving at least four dead. Dharali is the primary stopover on the way to Gangotri, the origin of the Ganges, and home to many hotels, restaurants, and home stays. A senior officer of the federal contingency force told PTI that cadaver dogs are being deployed in Uttarkashi to find bodies possibly buried beneath debris and slush, to ensure that the families of the victims can get closure. In addition to cadaver dogs, regular dogs who can sniff and detect survivors buried under mud and slush are also being deployed, he said. The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), which has battalion bases in Uttarakhand's Matli and Mahidanada as part of its deployment to guard the India-China LAC, has also sent about 100 personnel for rescue operations and to assist the state administration. Around 37 villagers, including 11 women and four children, were rescued from the area and evacuated to the ITBP border post named Kopang, a senior officer of the force said. The NDRF has trained about half a dozen cadaver dogs, primarily from the Belgian Malinois and Labrador breeds. For their training, the force procured a special scent from abroad that smells akin to the odour emitted by a dead body. 'For all these years, the NDRF focused on its mandate of saving lives. Utilising the golden hour of finding life during a disaster has been the guiding principle of the rescuers, and hence, finding the dead or mortal remains was not a priority," a senior officer had recently told PTI. However, the force has also been part of operations where NDRF personnel are tasked to retrieve bodies from under the debris, like in the aftermath of a landslide or train, or road accident, he said. Finding bodies or human remains is important to ensure closure to the families and near and dear ones of the victims, the officer had said.
