It really looks pretty untenable - not sure why the umpires are wasting time like this
ICC Cricket World Cup 2019
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Hmm, someone from manchester is tweeting it has stopped.
Trying level best to get a game in today, I think that are the ICC guidelines.
They've a reporter in the stadium.
They still need time to clear the ground up and they have to start by 18:35, which is 15 mins from now. Not gonna happen
Abandoned
So confirmed now. NZ will resume play at 211/5 tomorrow depending on the weather.
Phew. Pathetic by Star not to cover it live. What's the point of 24/7 coverage.
Met forecast for tomorrow - https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw2hzs1u#?date=2019-07-10
Unless they have completely goofed this up, we should see the full game being played with ease.

why haven't Indis played a single match at Lords this world cup??
Whole bunch of people have taken leave today to watch the match. 
I reckon lots of fans travel plan also get changed.

Next one.
Because they aren’t in the tournament
Hopefully the weather stays clear tomorrow.
A bit nervous about tomorrow's run chase. On one hand anything NZ post should be chased by our batting line up but anything can happen chasing in a big WC match. I hope our batters do the job with minimum fuss.
You are funny.
I'd rather the match resume today and India pick up a couple of wickets right away to knock some sense into the DLS calculations.
The value assigned to wickets in hand is ridiculous.

Forecast is fine for today, would be a surprise if he we can't the whole match in.
Sanjay is one of the nicest guys you could meet on the Cricketing circuit. Vaughan puts too much importance on his opinions.
India needs to play this carefully. Hopefully, the pitch hasn't got any slower today.
I think this is extremely unfair on New Zealand. Instead of being there with Taylor set on 67 they’ve got 2 players coming in cold and having to throw the bat at the ball from ball one.
Guessing there will be a 30 minute interval break for no particular reason other than cricket being backwards?
On the other hand they've probably spent the entire morning doing nothing but trying to smack the ball as hard as possible in the nets.
Cricbuzz says there'll be a 10 min break between innings.
Bumrah's attempted yorkers have become full tosses. Even he struggles, eh?
BitsandPieces© with a great throw there to get rid of Taylor.
Edit: Gets a catch the very next ball as well.

Not ideal at all is it.
Two great pieces of fielding by Jadeja.
Best fielder in the world.
Stats showing he's the most productive fielder in the tournament.
He's only played 2 games, compared to the 8/9 played the others on the list. Incredible fielder.
I assume Jadeja's 'runs saved' stats are somewhat skewed by the fact that he's been a sub fielder but either way he's so far ahead of the rest of the field it's insane.
Doubt you would be seeing it this way if it was india batting.
Yeah top fielder for sure. I'd still pick Stokes over him as the best fielder in the world but there's not much in it.
NZ should be the last team complaining about rain. They pretty much got to the semis courtesy of that point from the washout game.
But even ignoring that this can go anyway. India could have started to bat yesterday seen off the first few overs and then started again today. No way to have a 100% fair system.
Not totally accurate. The amount of times he has been on as a sub fielder probably adds another 3-4 games to that number. Still brilliant numbers mind you.
It's harsh on NZ, for sure. You might say they should have bowled yesterday but they had no idea the whole day would get rained off.
Now they've got to go from 0-100mph in four overs and then India have the whole day to bat in better conditions.
On another note, if the ICC had had this rain rule in the group stage, India would have beaten NZ and we'd have an India-Pakistan semi-final now. They've basically screwed themselves out of the most lucrative game in cricket.
Ah yes, surely it's considering the sub appearances. I forgot about those..
Yup. Stokes is definitely the better 'pure athlete'. I think Jadeja is a bit better when it comes to running people out.
240 it is.
Rohit goes early and we have a game.
