Rain washes out first day of Lord's Ashes test

The first day of the second Ashes test between England and Australia was rained out at Lord’s on Wednesday without a ball being bowled.

No play is possible on day one at Lord's due to persistent rain ?https://t.co/KihuGNplu5 | #Ashes pic.twitter.com/MDyjCDXGAn— ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) August 14, 2019

Play had finally looked set to get underway after a morning of wet weather, with the umpires calling for a 3:30pm (1430 GMT) start during a dry spell.

Good news - the weather forecast in London for Thursday is ?☀️?

With day one washed out, Thursday’s second session will be extended by 30 minutes plus there will be an extra 30 minutes available at the end of the day. Play will still start at 8pm AEST tonight #Ashes pic.twitter.com/7OgYP56gs7— cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) August 14, 2019

The sides briefly came out, and the England staff had time to present Jofra Archer with his debut test cap. But the rain began to fall again minutes later, before the captains came out for the coin toss.

? @CJordan: “I know this is the pinnacle for you. One of the first things you said to me when you came over to England was you wanted to play Test cricket for England. That time has come.”

The sides will now aim to start the match on Thursday, with an extra half-hour of play allowed on each of the remaining four days to make up for the day lost.

Australia lead the five-match series 1-0 after an emphatic 251-run win at Edgbaston.
