Weather forecast for England vs West Indies Cricket World Cup match at Hampshire Bowl, Southampton

England will once again play in the Cricket World Cup tomorrow (June 14).

The team will take on the West Indies at the Hampshire Bowl in Southampton.

And at the moment it looks like play should go ahead, if the Met Office forecast is correct.

The day could start wet, with a 50% chance of rain from 6am to 8am, after heavier rain overnight.

However, the weather should then improve, with just a 30% chance of light shower at 9am.

The rest of the day should be clear, which - fingers crossed - should mean the match will be played.

A number of cricket matches have already been rained off, including two at Bristol County Ground.

In the event of rain the match officials may initially choose to reduce the overs played for each team, rather than postpone the game immediately.

Spectators will be entitled to a full refund of their ticket price (excluding fees) in the event of a match of 15 overs or less and 50 per cent if there's between 15.1 and 29.5 overs.

Many fans are expected to travel to the match from Bristol, as the England match is less than two hours away.
