Heavy rain delayed the beginning 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 away from the pitch.
Recent reports detailed pitch issues at the venue. The ball drifted sideways. The bounce was uneven. 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.
