IND vs ENG 1st Test: Rain stops play on Day 5 in Leeds post lunch; Will Headingley weather impact the outcome?

At the time of the rain break, Ben Duckett is sitting comfortably at 105 not out while his opening partner Zak Crawley is unbeaten at 59. Duckett could have missed his hundred by two runs had Yashasvi Jaiswal not dropped the England opener off Mohammed Siraj's delivery.
