Rizwan fifty frustrates England
SOUTHAMPTON, August 14
Pakistan middle-order batsman Mohammad Rizwan hit a defiant half-century on a difficult batting pitch to guide his side past the 200-mark in their first innings and frustrate England in the second Test today.
Having resumed on 126/5 overnight, Pakistan reached 223/9 when bad light stopped play on the second day. Rizwan, who was dropped by Jos Buttler on 14, was 60 and Naseem Shah on one.
After the start of play was delayed by 90 minutes by bad light, Babar Azam and Rizwan managed to negotiate a one-hour session before lunch without further loss.
Azam went shortly after lunch for 47. — Reuters
