Southampton, 15 August 2020: Drizzle and bad light denied any activity as the third day of the second ICC World Test Championship fixture between England and Pakistan at the Ageas Bowl, Southampton, was called-off without a ball bowled.

England lead the three-Test series following their three-wicket win at Old Trafford, Manchester. The final Test, also to be hosted by the Ageas Bowl, commences on Friday, 21 August.

Pakistan 223-9, 86 overs (Mohammad Rizwan 60 not out, Abid Ali 60, Babar Azam 47, Azhar Ali 20; James Anderson 3-48, Stuart Broad 3-56)
