First Test Abandoned by Rain at Lord's
The rain prevented play in the first Test at Lord's, ending hopes of resumed action after 211 hours allocated to cricket. Only 14 hours of play had occurred previously, with the ground washed out and unfit for cricket or football. The Trentbridge record for 47 minutes of play without a wicket stands. The next Test heads to Lord's on June 26.
