• Rain washes out third day of play in Dhaka

    Published on

    Rain triggered by a weakened cyclone washed out the third day of the second Test between Bangladesh and Pakistan in Dhaka on Monday.

    Match officials called off play at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium at 2pm, with no chance of the weather improving for the day.

    Only 63.2 overs of play were possible over the first two days with Pakistan reaching 188-2 in their first innings. Skipper Babar Azam is batting on 71 alongside Azhar Ali on 52.

    Taijul Islam picked up both wickets to fall.

    Pakistan lead the two-Test series 1-0 after winning the first encounter in Chittagong by eight wickets.
