Nasser Hussain expressed his frustration after the umpires decided to abandon play late on day three of the second Test between England and Pakistan at Lord's. The decision came despite a break in the weather, leaving fans disappointed and booing as the day was called off just after 6:30 PM local time.

Only 24.5 overs were played on a gloomy Saturday, during which England progressed from an overnight score of 81-3 to 177-7, establishing a lead of 357 runs. Hussain criticized the decision, stating, "That's a joke, honestly a joke. That is an unbelievable decision, it really is." He noted the brightening conditions and questioned the lack of urgency from officials to resume play.

In the limited cricket that fans witnessed, Dan Lawrence stood out, scoring an impressive 50 not out from 66 balls. His innings included a remarkable six over extra-cover, praised by pundit Dinesh Karthik as "the shot of the series." Hussain commended Lawrence for his aggressive approach, stating, "He got his tempo right" while acknowledging the challenging pitch conditions.

Lawrence, who has stepped into the team following Ben Stokes' retirement, expressed his determination to contribute to the team. He remarked, "I'm just trying to contribute every Test I can and give a good showing of myself."

The fourth day of the Test is set to resume on Sunday at 10:15 AM local time, with live coverage on Sky Sports Cricket.
