Bad light halted play in Rawalpindi on Friday as conditions
continued to play havoc with Pakistan's first home Test in a decade, against
Sri Lanka. After day three's first session was washed out by wet
weather, only 27 minutes of play was possible before the players walked off
with just 5.2 overs bowled.
The conditions have put a dampener on the long awaited return to Test cricket in Pakistan, following the 2009 attack on Sri Lanka's team bus that left eight people dead and several players and officials wounded.
On Thursday, rain and poor light kept the teams off the field
for all but 83 minutes.
For Pakistan, 16-year-old paceman Naseem Shah (2-83) and
Shaheen Shah Afridi (2-58) were the most successful bowlers.
But despite the poor weather and no play, schoolchildren were
thrilled when Pakistan players went to the fence to take selfies with them.
