Heavy rain delayed the start 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 off the field.
Media reports detailed pitch problems at the venue. The ball drifted sideways. The bounce was inconsistent. Speed was unpredictable. Because of this, the ground team plans to lift drop-in pitches into place with a crane. Also, the MCC installed a double portrait of Sir James Anderson and Stuart Broad CBE at the ground.
