The third day of the second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh has also been called off due to showers without a ball being bowled in Dhaka.

Pakistan remain on 188/2 from the previous day, which also ended earlier after rain halted play. Babar Azam and Azhar Ali remain unbeaten on the crease having scored 71 and 52 respectively.

Both batsmen have scored half-centuries after Taijul Islam broke through the Abid Ali-Abdullah Shafique partnership by dismissing both openers.

Babar and Azhar stabilised Pakistan's innings and took the attack to the opposition by dispatching bad balls to the boundaries whilst simultaneously managing quick singles.

Rain put a damper on day 2 of the Dhaka Test as well, with play eventually being called off Sunday following multiple delays and resumptions.

The starting time for the fourth day is 9:30 am (Bangladesh time) with 98 overs scheduled to be bowled tomorrow.
