England, India fourth Test halted by downpours at Old Trafford

Day two of the fourth Test between England and India has been disrupted following a heavy downpour on the Old Trafford pitch.

The hosts managed to reach lunch on 201-6, leaving themselves with a 49-run advantage after bowling India all out for 152 yesterday.

However, the players were forced to leave the field with England on 237-6 in the afternoon session after rain descended onto the ground.

Since then, the rain has stopped, but large puddles of water in the outfield remain, which has resulted in a long delay for the cricketers.

Inspections were made at 4.30pm and 5pm, but the umpires are yet to make a decision regarding the resumption of play.
