So rain stops play once and the overs are on. Hopefully, the drizzle won't last long and we would soon have the action. For now the covers are on at Southampton.

James Anderson STRIKES at the right time as he gets rid of Azhar Ali. EDGED & TAKEN by Rory Burns. He was dropped twice in this inning but was not really lucky to get away this easily. Ali OUT on 20.

Abid Ali and Azhar Ali stabilised the team after they lost Masood early in the game. Abid Ali is inching toward his half-century. An immense amount of grit shown by the two players.

So as the doors of the heavens open, the players proceed to the dressing room and with just 10 minutes to go for lunch, the teams would take an early break.

So after losing the first wicket quite early in the day, Abid Ali and Azhar Ali have stood tall and faced the pacy bowlers. The two batsmen have shown immense grit with the two players going strong for Pakistan.
