It rained ahead of the first day of Lord’s Test and the same happened ahead of Day 2 as well. The forecast was quite clear for the opening day but the rain made its presence. It was expected that the weather will play its part in the second Ashes Test and it won’t get better in the coming days.

London has been on the warmer side in the last few weeks and rains are quite common here at this time of the year. With Australia in a stronger position with the bat, their bowlers will like the conditions on the second day of the game. Both teams would want to keep the pace of the game high.
83 overs were bowled on the first day and if the same happens today, it will be considered great looking at the conditions. BBC has already forecasted thunderstorms and rains during the course of the Lord’s Test.
