Overnight rain delays Rawalpindi Test

The Rawalpindi run-fest has edged even closer to a draw, with the start of day four to be delayed by overnight rain.

After play was ended early by bad light on Sunday, rain set in over the Pindi Cricket Stadium.

Teams have been told they are unlikely to leave their hotel before 10am on Monday, 15 minutes after the scheduled start of play.

Wickets have so far been hard to come by in the first Test of the series, with just six taken over the first three days.
