  1. As Babar Azam and Ben Stokes head to the middle for the toss, a reminder that this game will be 47 overs per side.

    Two bowlers can bowl 10 overs, three bowlers can bowl nine overs.

  2. Steven Finn
    England bowler on Test Match Special

    I expect Pakistan to come out reinvigorated today, with fresh ideas about how to attack people and how they can take wickets.

  3. This will be an important toss to win.

    Should England bowl, they'll be hoping for a start like this again...

  4. Steven Finn
    England bowler on Test Match Special

    There will be some bowlers licking their lips at the prospect of bowling.

    I imagine whoever wins the toss will bowl.

  5. So with just over 10 minutes until the toss, let's have another look back at the first ODI.

    Saqib Mahmood was brilliant, taking 4-42, but the way in which Dawid Malan and Zak Crawley saw off the chase was almost as impressive...

  6. Aatif Nawaz

    There has just been a splattering of applause from the crowd as the groundstaff started to move.

  7. Play to start at 12:30 (BST)
    Breaking

    We're baaaack. And guess what?

    Play is set to start at 12:30 BST, with the toss taking place at 12:10 - didn't expect that, did you?

    The match will be 47 overs per side.

  8. And that annoying drizzle is enough for us to pause the live text for now.

    We'll be back as soon as hear some news of a possible start time.

    Sit tight.

  9. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at Lord's

    The crowd are huddled towards the back of the stands in an attempt to find some shelter. It's not heavy rain. It's just annoying drizzle.

    As frustrating as it is for us, here watching, if you get moisture on your spikes, and you take that onto the wicket, and you can slip slightly at the point of contact when you land, it means it is so hard to control what you're bowling.

  11. Steve Finn spitting bars like Lethal Bizzle.

  12. The five stages of rain...

    There are five stages of rain as a cricketer: Lizzle, which is light drizzle. Mizzle, which is medium drizzle. Drizzle, which is just drizzle. Hizzle, which is heavy drizzle and then rain.

    We're at the lizzle stage at the moment.

  13. It's not all doom and gloom. Let's keep that positivity...

  14. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    I'm down on ground level, and it feels fine. There is just moisture in the air. There is just the odd dot here and then.

    They can't really toss in this. It's not rain, it's not even mizzle.

  15. If you're just joining us this morning, here's what is happening... the crowds are in, the brollies are up and the players are just hanging around on the field.

    Misbah-ul-Haq is the type of leader that when you talk what comes out is quality. Sometimes you can just have a constant dialogue of information and good points can be lost, but him as a leader, and his reserved manner, can be a calming influence on the team.

    When he speaks, you listen, because what he says is very pertinent.

  17. I'm sure most of you have seen this by now but here's an outrageous grab from Harleen Deol in the women's T20 between England and India last night....

  18. Instead of dwelling on the delayed start, here's a reminder of what happened the last time England played an ODI at Lord's...

    England win Cricket World Cup final

  19. Ian Bell
    Former England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    Ben Stokes does the leadership role naturally. He is a leader for England.

    It is great to have that. You need those characters in the changing room.

    His work ethic is fantastic too. It's great as a young player to be able to watch that.

  20. No official word yet but it looks like that 11:15 (BST) toss will be delayed, as will the 11:30 start.

    We'll keep you updated.

    In the meantime, we'll continue with the Ben Stokes appreciation society.
