Join us for day three coverage. In the meantime, goodbye!
Masood, now a former Pakistan Test captain, switched gears perfectly and slowed his batting in the evening session – after scoring almost a run-up in the afternoon – to ensure he hit the ball all the way. Seals struck well in time to send Babar Azam back to the pavilion just ahead of the evening session. Masood will be in the company of Salman Ali Agha, who is yet to lose his way after facing nine balls, when play resumes tomorrow morning at 9:56 am local time.
Pakistan managed to close most of the distance thanks to a 155-run second-wicket stand between Imam ul Haq and Shan Masood. The two put the bowlers under pressure as runs accumulated quickly in the afternoon and after Imam was caught slipping Joseph in the final session, Masood showed poise to mark the runs and hold his end.
Shamar Joseph is back on the attack for the final push. This causes the judges to pull out the light meter and they deem there is not enough light to continue. Both Shan and Aga leave with smiles on their faces, while Shamar looks unimpressed. This is the game of the second day.
