E&E NEWS-SHIKHA VERMA 12/08/2018
Good news for Indian fans. The drizzle has turned slightly heavier and it would not harm you too much if you decide to go over to the Lankan match and see how they are progressing in the 5th ODI against South Africa...

UPDATE | It is still raining at Lord's and covers are on the pitch

At lunch on Day 4: India 17/2 in 9 overs, trail by 272 runs. Pujara 5* and Rahane 1*; Anderson 2-8
17:09 (IST), AUGUST 12
The only thing in favour of India is that the forecast is not that good for the remainder of the day. However, their batsmen need to be prepared for the worst. Perhaps, two solid knocks from Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane, might do their confidence a lot of good. England, on the other hand, are ahead by 272 runs. Chris Woakes is also in good rhythm, bowling some really good deliveries. A tough period awaits India if the rain relents. Stay tuned as we bring you updates...

The woes continue for India at the top in seaming conditions. After being insipid with the ball and conceding a big lead of 289 runs, their openers, Murali Vijay and Lokesh Rahul, once again failed to counter a belligerent James Anderson and fell cheaply to him. It just shows that they have to tighten their technique in order to succeed overseas.

Update 1230 local - Unfortunately, the drizzle has got heavier and the big cover is being roped in to protect the pitch. It always seemed to be on the cards and the umpires have decided that they can't risk it any further. More covers come in to be put on the square. They have also called for an early Lunch which is a wise decision.
