Five out of five for both teams.
Graham Smith reviews here and doesn't show his Glamorgan loyalties too strongly:

That's a useful preview. Interesting about the spin bowling, it seems a real area of comparative advantage this year. Took a look at the table after today's results and it's definitely taken shape. But I still can't work out what guarantees home semi and knockout. I think winning this plus one of the two remaining Rugby games should get the home semi. Would be ideal to get it done with a game to spare, like to see Wylie and Simmons get a chance before the group is up, might need them later.

OHD back.

Finally back at Edgbaston and it's raining, typical!

The top game of the group and the rain has to fall. It's times like this we question why we follow this stupid game!!!!!! Oh well, back to my book.

The covers are coming off, 3pm start time.

I thought the conventional wisdom in matches that are likely to be rain affected was that the team winning the toss should field. Any ideas as to why Glamorgan want to bat?

I can only think that they won the toss and made the choice before they knew it would be rain affected? The forecast this morning didn't suggest it would be as affected as it has been. Even so, they looked like bowler friendly conditions this morning.

I left the ground at 1:45 as thought the covers were gonna be doing the hokey cokey all day. But looks line we might finally be getting some play!

Start at 3:20pm
21 overs a side.

Is it minimum 10 or 20 overs per side to constitute a match for a group game?

Tazeem Ali looks a great prospect!!

To answer my own question, it’s a minimum of 10 overs per side, rising to 20 for knockout games

After an over that went for 18 the rain returns.

135/4 after 17

What happens here? Presumably Glamorgan's target gets boosted a little on DLS. If Warwicks were then to only get, say, 12 overs to chase that previously inflated target is them pro-rated down again? Very complicated.

I didn't know it would be the last over but did think another over of Taz Ali would be a mistake.

Luckily someone else will work that out for us. If they can’t get back on then a point might not be a bad result for us.

Looks like Glamorgan will have one over left to bat.

We’ve been set a target of 155 from 18 @ 8.61 an over.

But it’s raining again….

Off again. We must be pretty close to an abandonment as can only lose up to 8 more overs

With all this chopping and changing think the best thing that could happen now is shake hands with one point each. Feel it in my waters that a several-times adjusted target with high RPO isn't going to go well for us.
