The start of the second session on Day 5 of the first Test between England and India has been delayed due to rain after the first session was washed out completely at Trent Bridge. India were 52-1 in their second innings, needing a further 157 runs to reach a victory target of 209 in what promised to be tough batting conditions. Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara were both 12 not out. But persistent early morning rain prevented play resuming as scheduled at 11:00 am local time (3:30 pm IST), with the pitch and square both remaining fully covered. Following an inspection, the umpires decided to bring forward the lunch interval by 30 minutes to 12:30 pm (5 pm IST) in the hope the weather may relent sufficiently to allow a prompt start to the afternoon session. Even though bad weather meant more than 100 overs had been lost in the game before Sunday’s delay, there could yet be enough time left for either side to go 1-0 up in this five-match series.

    Hello And Welcome!

    Hello and Welcome to Day 5 of the first Test match between England and India that is being played at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. India need more 157 runs to win the first Test match  with 9 nine wickets remaining. Indian openers gave a steady start in the chase of 209 runs, later Stuart Broad dismissed well set KL Rahul and brought a hope for England in this match. If the hosts get few more wickets on early on Day 5 then it would be difficult for the Indian to bounce back in the chase. However, weather forecast for the day doesn’t look to good and we might see lots of stoppages throughout the day. There will be a delay in start of play on Day 5 due to rain.

    India 52/1, need 157 runs to win
