There were only 6.2 overs of cricket on day two of this Test, and day one was also hit by bad weather when the match referee called an early end of the day due to poor light.

The persistent rain did not allow any cricket on day three. According to the weather officials, the rain is an effect of the cyclone “Jawad”. As per the latest forecast, there will be no rain on Wednesday, which is the last day of this Test.

Earlier, in the first Test of the series in Chattogram, Pakistan beat the hosts by eight wickets.
