FOUR! That is a gorgeous way to get off the mark! Brilliant shot. Full on middle, Salt leans and creams the drive through mid off for a boundary.

Toss - After all the delay, finally, we have both the captains in the middle. Ben Stokes flicks the coin, Babar Azam calls it correctly and PAKISTAN CHOOSE TO FIELD!

The English skipper, on the other hand, also wanted to bowl first but feels that it's a good chance to put runs on the board. BOTH TEAMS ARE UNCHANGED!

Update 10.51 am GMT (11.51 am local) - It's the hope that kills you and we are back to give you some hope. Take it or leave it, entirely up to you. The pictures from the ground suggest that the rain has seized and the groundsmen are doing the mopping up job. The signs are promising to have some cricket soon. Stay tuned for latest updates...

Update 10.32 am GMT (11.32 am local) - Waiting for updates from our side? Well, we are also waiting for fresh updates from the ground. We are hearing that the conditions have not improved much and the drizzle is still on. Let's be patient together in front of this typical English weather.

Update 10.00 am GMT (11.00 am local) - Well, well, the rain is back and the covers are back on. The toss looks like it will be further delayed. It seems that it is going to be that kind of day here in London. Let's hope that the rain clears up soon and we get underway as soon as possible.

Update 9.50 am GMT (10.50 am local) - Good news, folks! The rain has eased off and we are all set to have the toss at 11.15 am local (10.15 am GMT). Importantly, no overs have been lost. Get ready!

The significance of number 100 in this match - 1) It will be the 100th ODI for Ben Stokes. 2) Lord's is at 100 per cent capacity.

It's toss time, well, not really! The light drizzle continues to irritate everyone at Lord's and it has forced the groundsmen to keep the cover on. If a few trusted Twitter handles are to be believed, the conditions have brightened up slightly and it's a lot better than what it was a few minutes back. The good thing is that the weather radar for the afternoon is quite promising.

Weather update - There is a slight drizzle in the air at the moment in London. Not too worrisome though. The covers are out but in all likelihood, it will clear soon and we will have a prompt start. Fingers crossed.

Hello and welcome everyone for the second ODI between England and Pakistan in this 3-match series. We are here at Lord's and it's buzzing with spectators. It's a full house at the Mecca of Cricket. The hosts too will be brimming with confidence after the heroics in the last match, that too with a second-string team, and now will be aiming to close the series here. Pakistan, on the flip side, will be hurt and will be eyeing revenge. They were completely outclassed in Cardiff and suffered a humiliating loss. Can they make a comeback to level the series? Let's find out.
