12.05pm Mel updates us from Lord’s. It looks brighter and the umpires have had a look and have walked off.
WATCH: A lighter moment for Virat Kohli during the rain break on Day 2 (India only)
WICKET – Anderson leaves India two down (India only)
Sai Sankar: “@Sunil Jain: Vijay is a class player, this is one of the toughest conditions a batsman could face. Only experienced players can deal with it. More often he waits and judges each ball correctly, and bat for long periods of time to eat up deliveries. I think that’s what is required in these testing conditions. So the middle order can score runs.”
Bruce: “It’s not just a break we’re experiencing my friends. Continuous rain if not storms, forecast until 18.00h. See you all tomorrow! PS When a day’s already been lost and the forecast for p.m. was so plain last night even, why on earth don’t they start an hour early at 10.00?”
Jiten Surtani: “Forget a full day of cricket or even a full session! 7 overs into the match and we already know as fans whether to be happy or not about the rain (depending on which side you are on)”
Muizz: “There should be a rooftop like in Wimbledon matches of there is such amount of rain. Really feel sorry for thr crowd after being very patient yesterday”
Sreeram: “This is the problem with Test Cricket. We had sunshine all morning and the game didn’t start early in spite of a washout on Day 1. There is no guarantee of okay extension in the evening anyway. #Madness”
Tausifahamad Pa: “That’s why Sehwag was so important member in Indian test team. His fearless shots never allowed bowler consistent lines and that’s what made him a great test player. Having so may T20 players,I wonder why could not India fill someone into his shoes yet” He had one century and one fifty in 10 innings in England. For an average of 27.8
Sunil Jain: “Been saying this for a while, Vijay is not as good as people think. Plays a good knock occasionally and keeps his place in the team. I believe he averages worse than Pujara overseas and still manages to keep a reputation while Pujara struggles to establish one(not that he’s much better). About time we accept that this Indian team doesn’t have a high quality batting line up except for Kohli and maybe Rahane on a good day and that we will struggle on overseas tour for the next few years.”
11.30am Kohli’s off the mark, and the players are off the field. It’s raining, folks. The murkiness, with the weather and the Indian batting, continues. The first of what could be several delays today. It’s not looking too bright – in the Indian camp or at Lord’s. This one’s a little too heavy, the cloud cover was pretty thick. There was rain forecast around 12 noon, but it’s here half an hour too early. But don’t you worry. To keep you engaged during the break, we have come up with a very innovative poll on our Live Report. It’s sure to get you thinking, and consequently, keep you occupied while we wait for the weather to clear up.
Says Nagraj: “It is claps and not boos that Lord’s welcomes Kohli with – and a handsome clap that, too, from the fullhouse,”
Anderson to Kohli, 1 run, length on off, blocked into the covers, and off he takes off for a quick one
