Heavy rain delayed the beginning of the second Test match between England and Pakistan at Lord's. It prevented the toss. Players stayed inside during the first session on day one as weather worsened. Bad weather kept everyone away from the pitch.
Media reports detailed pitch issues at the venue. The ball moved sideways. The bounce was not even. Speed was not reliable. Because of this, the ground team intends to hoist drop-in pitches into place using a crane. Also, the MCC installed a double portrait of Sir James Anderson and Stuart Broad CBE at the ground.
