Rain washes away day two to dampen Pakistan’s series hopes

JAMAICA (92 News) – The entirety of day two of the second Test between West Indies and Pakistan was washed out by frustrating intermittent showers and a wet outfield.

Set to resume their day at 212/4, Pakistan had high hopes of posting a significant first innings total to put the pressure on West Indies as they chased a series levelling victory. Instead, the tourists finished the day where they had started it.

An early morning shower delayed the start of play, eventually forcing an early lunch to be called. Teasingly, the sun then appeared only for the rain to return before the next inspection. That proved to be the pattern of the day, with officials eventually calling stumps just after 4pm local time.

Play will commence half an hour earlier on Sunday, with 98 overs scheduled.
