(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – Rain washed out the first day of the second Test between England and India at Lord’s.
It is the first time a full day’s play has been lost at Lord’s since the opening day of the first Test against Pakistan in 2001.
Neither team have named their final XI, although batsman Ollie Pope is set to make his debut for England.
The hosts lead 1-0 in the five-match series after a thrilling 31-run win at Edgbaston last week.
The forecast is better for the remainder of the Test, although there may be further showers on Friday afternoon.
