Pakistan were reduced to a score of 223 for nine in their first-innings against England before bad light forced early stumps on the second day of the second Test at the Rose Bowl Cricket Ground in Southamptom on Friday.

At the end of the day's play, Mohammad Rizwan and Naseem Shah were unbeaten at the crease at their respective scores of 60 and one.

The start of the day was delayed due to a little bit of drizzle before the play finally began at 5:00 p.m IST. The play was once again interrupted due to bad light at around 9.30 p.m IST before the match officials decided for early stumps.

Babar Azam fell short of a half-century after being caught for 47 behind the wicket by Jos Buttler on a Stuart Broad delivery in the 64th over. Subsequently, Yasir Shah (five), Shaheen Shah Afridi (0), Mohammad Abbas (2) fell cheaply before Rizwan took Pakistan past 200-run mark.
