Twitter reacts to a disappointing wash out on day 1

The last time an entire day's play was washed out in a Lord's Test was in May 2001 against Pakistan (first day's play).

Feel for the people who had planned, so many months in advance, to be at the first day of the Lord's test. Such terrible weather! The good thing though is that given the drainage, play can begin pretty soon after it stops raining.

If it rains all day, and it probably will, you could do worse than using the time to read ’s book about a fictional Lord’s Test Match. Loved it. (Hoping for a spin-off diary of Mac’s career in full)

Shift that Lord's Test from London to here, they can play even when it's pouring rain

So typical... we have the hottest, driest summer ever... and all it takes is a Lord's Test.... and it's chucking it down.

So, the much-awaited start to the Lord's test has been delayed by repetitive rain...India hasn't had much luck in the series, no?

Was all set to ring the bell at Lords to start off the 2nd Test today, but unfortunately the weather had other plans.😊

Hopefully we’ll get to see some good cricket over the next 4 days. , loved the colour of the suit.
