No respite from rain as England remain on 7/1

SOUTHAMPTON: England were on 7/1 against Pakistan at Tea on Day 5 of the rain-hit second Test as no play was possible in the first and second sessions at the Ageas Bowl on Monday.

At Tea on Day 5, Dom Sibley was batting on 2 with Zak Crawley on 5. England trail Pakistan by 229 runs. No play was possible on Day 3 because of persistent rain and bad light.

Resuming at 223/9 on Day 4, Mohammad Rizwan top-scored for the tourists with a fighting 72 as Stuart Broad and James Anderson returned figures of 4/56 and 3/60, respectively, to bowl out Pakistan for 236.

England lost Rory Burns (0) in the first over itself as Shaheen Shah Afridi had the left hander caught at second slip by Asad Shafiq. IANS
