The British cricket governing body, ECB England and Wales Cricket Board is considering the early match start time, pink ball and flood lights options to avoid the bad weather and dim light affects during the 3rd Test between Pakistan and England.
The decisions and arrangements have to be made promptly as 3rd test is scheduled for 21st-25th August.
The 2nd test match remained continuously disturbed by rain as Pakistan could play only one innings and England was not even able to complete its first innings.
