The game on the fourth day was also delayed due to bad weather. At least 86 overs are expected to be played.

The previous day was called off due to continuous rain and wet pitch. During the first two days, only 63.2 overs were bowled.

The second Test is likely to end in a draw as not a single inning has been completed. Currently, Pakistan is leading the Test series by 1-0.
