Rain played spoilsport on Day 2 of the second Test between Pakistan against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Tuesday. Abdullah Shafique and skipper Babar Azam steered Pakistan to a 12-run lead but rain halted their charge early. The tourists were 178-2 after resuming under gloomy skies on 145-2 with Abdullah Shafique, on 87, and skipper Babar Azam, on 28, batting in a stand of 57.
Rain played a spoilsport on Monday as the entire Day 5 of the second Test between India and West Indies got washed out. As a result, the second Test ended in a draw and the Rohit Sharma-led side clinched the two-match series 1-0. Team India had an upper hand over the hosts in the entire game as the Caribbean side needed 289 runs on Day 5 with eight wickets in hand. However, the weather prevailed over India's hopes as the day concluded without a single ball being bowled.
The second Test between India and West Indies in Trinidad has now entered the fifth day. While the first Test in Dominica ended in three days, the pace of progress in the rain-affected second Test has been quite slow. The pitch at the Queen's Park Oval, the venue of the match, has faced a lot of flak for its sluggish nature. Former India opener Wasim Jaffer shared a funny meme on the subject. Known for making smart and funny analysis on cricket, Jaffer took a dig at the pitch in Trinida by calling it Internet Explorer, an old web browser which many users claimed as very slow when compared to other new browsers.
India would be reasonably pleased with the smooth start to the transition of their test team against the West Indies, even if a 1-0 series victory against a side seven rungs below them in the official rankings may not sound impressive.

An Indian team in transition will feel robbed of an opportunity as torrential rain came in its way of potentially winning the second Test against West Indies and completing a 2-0 series whitewash in Port of Spain on Monday. Eyeing a clean sweep after their victory inside three days in Dominica, India called the shots here too and set the hosts an imposing target of 365. But the match ended in a draw after the fifth and final day's play was washed out. Having taken two wickets to leave the beleaguered West Indies trailing by 289 runs by the end of the fourth day's play, the Indians would have certainly fancied their chances of emerging victorious and grabbing a full 24 points in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle.
