The nature of the Champions Trophy – two groups of four, blink and you’ll miss it – makes it tricky to assess all the permutations. My instinct is that a washout today is a slightly better result for Australia than South Africa. What it would mean is that net run-rate is less likely to be a factor in who qualifies for the semi-finals.

The toss should be happening right about now. Should. It’s still raining so we’re going to have a delayed start, and possibly a very frustrating day.
