The start of the fifth and final day of the Ashes series opener was postponed due to heavy rain at Edgbaston on Tuesday.
As a result, players will take an early lunch at 12:30 p.m. local time, with the test not commencing before 1:10 p.m. at the earliest.
Although the covers remain on the ground in Birmingham, the rain has subsided, and the weather forecast indicates improvement in the afternoon.
Australia requires 174 more runs to win, while England needs to claim seven more wickets. With a target of 281 runs, Australia currently stands at 107-3, with Usman Khawaja unbeaten on 34, accompanied by nightwatchman Scott Boland at 13 not out.
