Wet weather delayed the start of the second Test match between England and Pakistan at Lord's. It prevented the toss. Players remained indoors during the first session on day one due to the rain. Bad weather kept everyone off the field.
Media reports detailed pitch problems at the venue. The ball drifted 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 twin portrait of Sir James Anderson and Stuart Broad CBE at the ground.
