OUT! Yasir Shah picks his first wicket in the game. He traps Ollie Pope in front of the wickets. The batsman opts for review but all in vain. Superb bowling this by the leg-spinner. O Pope lbw b Yasir Shah 9(16)

OUT! Another wicket for Mohammad Abbas. Dominic Sibley is once again caught down the leg. So, England lose both the set batsmen now. D Sibley c Rizwan b Abbas 32(95)

OUT! Mohammad Abbas strikes. Zak Crawley is trapped in front of the wickets after scoring an impressive half-century. Z Crawley lbw b Abbas 53(99)

Excellent partnership this between Dominic Sibley and Zak Crawley. It is now worth 51 off 119 balls. Naseem Shah was introduced into the attack and he has bowled four overs so far, having failed to provide his side with a breakthrough. 

With sun out, the ball isn't doing much for the pacers. So far, Mohammad Abbas and Shaheen Afridi have shared the new ball. The pitch looks good for batting.

So, the action finally resumes on day five. Mohammad Abbas started the proceedings and England straightaway collect some runs. It is sunny at the moment and conditions look good for batting.

Update: It is bright with sun out in Southampton. Outfield requires some work and in the meantime, we have a start time. At 3:20 pm local time the day's play will begin. It means around 7:50 pm IST.

UPDATE: It has started raining again. So, delay in start of play is expected to get longer now. Chances are the play for the day can be abandoned early as this game is anyway heading towards an inevitable draw. 

The start of play on day five has been delayed due to wet outfield. It rained overnight and ground staff will need some more time to get things ready. Meanwhile, umpire inspection is going on as well.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of England vs Pakistan second Test day 5. Rain and bad light have played the spoilsport throughout this Test match. We are now into day five of the Test and draw appears to be inevitable. It will be interesting to see if some action takes place today.
