Rain played a spoilsport as only ten overs were bowled on day two of the second Test match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Colombo on Tuesday.

During the showers, the right-arm pacer Hassan Ali was caught enjoying the rain on camera. Hasan went out on the wet covers and enjoyed it like a kid in the candy store. The pacer isn't a part of the playing XI in the ongoing Test.

Pakistan managed to score 33 runs in ten overs without losing any wickets as rain stopped play in the first session, and eventually, the day was called off without further day's play.

Abdullah Shafique went on to score an unbeaten 87 off 131 balls, hitting eight fours and two sixes. Babar Azam added 20 runs to his overnight score and returned unbeaten on 28 off 49 balls, including three fours and a six.

At stumps, Pakistan were 178 for two in 38.3 overs, leading by 12 runs after the hosts were bundled out for 166 in 48.4 overs on the opening day.
