The start to the Day Four of the first Test match between Pakistan and Australia has been delayed due to overnight rain.

Due to the wet outfield, the Australian team's departure from the hotel has been delayed.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) informed that instead of the match starting at 9:45 am, the team is likely to depart from the hotel at around 10:00 am instead.

The match officials will assess the ground situation at 10:30 am and that will determine when the play can resume.
