<![CDATA[The first Test match of the season begins today at Lord&#8217;s and, of course, 
showers of rain are expected. The match between England and New Zealand is 
guaranteed to be frustrating, with little prospect of play in the morning as 
the rains crash down with anything up to 50mm (2in) possible. The showers 
could well linger on into the afternoon before there is much prospect of the 
ground covers coming off. But at least the new faster&#45;draining outfield at 
Lord&#8217;s installed a few years ago will help to get rid of surface waters.]]>

<![CDATA[The rice market is a good indicator for the political stability of Asia, 
Jonathan Pincus, the chief economist of the UN in Vietnam, told The Times. 
Since the new year Asian rice prices have trebled and in some local markets 
they have risen tenfold in the past year. With staples such as wheat also 
surging, the World Bank, for one, says it does not believe there will be any 
moderation in global food prices until 2010 and that 33 countries face the 
prospect of civil unrest.]]>
