Wet weather delayed the start of the second Test match between England and Pakistan at Lord's. It halted the toss. Players stayed inside during the first session on day one as weather worsened. Poor weather kept everyone off the field.
Recent reports detailed pitch problems at the venue. The ball drifted sideways. The bounce was inconsistent. Speed was not reliable. Because of this, the ground team plans to lift drop-in pitches into place using a crane. Also, the MCC put up a double portrait of Sir James Anderson and Stuart Broad CBE at the ground.
