Wet weather delayed the start of the second Test match between England and Pakistan at Lord's. It halted the toss. Players remained indoors during the first session on day one as weather worsened. Poor weather kept everyone away from the pitch.
Recent reports detailed pitch problems at the venue. The ball drifted sideways. The bounce was inconsistent. Speed was unpredictable. Because of this, the ground team intends to hoist drop-in pitches into place with a crane. Also, the MCC installed a twin portrait of Sir James Anderson and Stuart Broad CBE at the ground.
