The first session, originally scheduled to get underway at 11:00 AM local time, could not start on time as the pitch and square remain fully covered.

England hold a commanding position in the match, sitting on 81/3 in their second innings with an overall lead of 261 runs. After posting 290 in their first essay, the hosts skittled Pakistan for just 110 on Day 2 courtesy of fiery spells from Ollie Robinson (4/11) and Jofra Archer (3/26).
