Report

The weather lived up to the original forecast of rain on Sunday, and it is likely to continue into the third and fourth days

Lunch Pakistan 161 for 2 (Babar 60*, Abid 39, Taijul 2-49) vs Bangladesh

Lunch was taken at 11:25am local time after play was suspended during the first session of the second day in Dhaka. The players were out around 11:15am local time when the umpires announced that play was going to start at 11:20am. But minutes before the start, the drizzle returned, suspending play for the session.

The weather lived up to the original forecast of rain on Sunday, and it is likely to continue into the third and fourth days. However, with only occasional rain predicted on the second day, there might be some play in the post-lunch session.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam was unbeaten on 60 off 99 balls with seven fours and a six while No 3 Azhar Ali was on 36 off 112 balls with four fours.

The pair added 91 runs for the unbroken third wicket stand, with the visitors placed at 161 for 2.
