No play on day 3- England vs Pakistan, Test 2, Day 3

Day three of the second Test match between England and Pakistan was called off. 

Rain put an end to any prospect of play on day three. No play on day three means that the possibility of a result in the match was nil. The loss of a day combined with the loss of play in the first two days as well as the match still being in Pakistan’s first innings means that they can be no result in the match.

This places greater onus on the final Test match of the series. England lead 1-0 and will need to avoid a loss to Pakistan in the final Test if they are to win the series. For Pakistan, this is a bad result. They would have needed to win this match if they were to win the series. 

The final match of the series is crucial for the result of the series.
