PAK vs BAN: Play called off due to persistent rain on Day 2 of second Test

Day two of the second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh has been called off due to persistent rain and wet outfield.

After inspecting the ground several times through the morning, the umpires took the decision to take an early lunch with hopes of play resuming in the afternoon session as the first session was washed out.

Rain and bad light also interrupted the game on day one, allowing just two sessions of play as Pakistan reached 161-2 after recovering from early trouble.

Only 6.2 overs play was possible on day two as Babar Azam and Azhar Ali remain unbeaten on 71 and 52 respectively; both players brought up their fourth 100-run partnership stand as well.

Pakistan's tally was raised from 161-2 to 188-2 after the 6.2 overs that were played on day two.

Taijul earlier ended a 59-run opening partnership when he bowled Abdullah Shafique for 25 runs through the gate, before Abid Ali chopped one onto his stumps after knocking up 39 runs including six boundaries.

Taijul could also have dismissed Azhar if the third umpire had not given him the benefit of the doubt.

The play will resume tomorrow with 98 overs to be played. However, the weather forecast for tomorrow is also filled with rain.
