The day two play was called off due to rain without a ball being bowled on Saturday.

The game will start early for the remaining three days, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) informed.

Mohammad Rizwan and Faheem Ashraf were unbeaten at stumps on Day 1 with scores of 22 and 23 respectively. Pakistan only managed to lose four wickets in the day and scored 212 runs.

Thanks to fifties from Babar Azam and Fawad Alam Pakistan managed to post 212 on the scoreboard.

Kemar Roach struck twice and new ball partner Jayden Seales claimed early success as well to have the tourists tottering at two for three with just four overs gone after home captain Kraigg Brathwaite repeated his decision of the first Test by putting the opposition in on winning the toss.

However, Babar Azam and Fawad Alam managed to post over 150-run stand for the fourth wicket to get the team back in the game.

After reaching 75, Pakistan captain walked back to the pavilion thanks to pacer Roach, who claimed his third wicket of the innings.

Meanwhile, Fawad Alam walked back to the dugout after having cramps. He was batting on 76.
