Pakistan Bowl Against England in Rain-Delayed Second Test
Organisers hope to start play after the rain stops, with covers on the pitch and an inspection due before a decision is made.
- On Thursday, Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss and chose to bowl at Lord's, though heavy morning rain delayed the second Test between Pakistan and England by 80 minutes.
- Returning Pakistan captain Babar replaced Salman Ali Agha, marking the only change after missing the Headingley series opener due to a finger injury.
- England remains unchanged from the first test, with captain Joe Root noting the pitch looked "a very different pitch to the last time we played here."
- Following an incident outside a nightclub last weekend, pace bowler Brydon Carse was dropped from the squad while Derbyshire Police investigate "allegations of assault."
- Showers are forecast across all five scheduled days, with England seeking its first series victory since December 2024 before the final test in Birmingham.
