JAMAICA: Heavy rain washed out the entire second day’s play of the second Test between the West Indies and Pakistan at Sabina Park on Saturday without a ball being bowled.
Pakistan will resume their first innings on the third day, weather permitting, at 212 for four after they were put in to bat.
On Friday, Babar Azam missed out on a hundred but Fawad Alam may yet have the chance to reach three figures after the pair lifted Pakistan from a horrific start to end day one of the second Test.
Babar’s composed 75 through almost five hours at the crease and Fawad’s typically pugnacious 76 before retiring hurt from severe leg cramps just after tea rescued the tourists from the depths of three for two.
Kemar Roach once again led the charge with the ball for the home side, taking three for 49 off 17 overs, striking in his first two overs of the match. He then returned in the final session to claim the all-important wicket of Babar.
West Indies are seeking a first Test series triumph over Pakistan for 21 years. The visitors are hoping to repeat the efforts of the 2005 and 2011 tours of the Caribbean when they lost the first encounters before rebounding to square both two-Test series.
