12.30pm, PLAY ABANDONED
The recent downpour has left a saturated outfield and play has now been abandoned for the day.
12.00pm
The light drizzle has now got heavier and pools of water are starting to appear on the outfield after all the rain this morning.
10.30am
I'm afraid there is no better news since the last update as light drizzle continues to fall.
There will be no play before lunch which will be taken at 12.30pm.
Before this match Lancashire had lost 641 overs to rain/bad light in the Championship so far this season with 201 lost at home and 440 overs lost away.
Yesterday's washout has added 96 overs to that total with more to be added today unfortunately.
9.30am
The scene at Emirates Old Trafford is pretty much identical to the one 24 hours ago.
The covers - and the two blotters - haven't moved since play was called off yesterday, and we have another wet start this morning, albeit with a better forecast for this afternoon.
It is raining at present and we will update this page at regular intervals or when there is some news regarding prospects of play.
