Cricket fans miss match start in 'shameful' queues

Crowds of frustrated cricket fans have described "shameful scenes" getting into Old Trafford for the start of England's test match clash with India.

England are currently 2-1 up in the five-test series, which resumed earlier and saw India surge to over 100-1.

Many spectators told how they had missed the start of play, with Andrew from Marple, Stockport, saying the match-day organisation needed a "radical overhaul", while Kevin Ticehurst said the queue to get in was "five miles long in either direction".

Lancashire County Cricket Club has apologised and said it would be looking at increasing the number of gates for the rest of the match, but also pointed out thousands of fans had arrived "very late".
