After a miserable first test match loss by 209 runs with a day to spare, the visiting Pakistan cricket team rebounded on the first and second day of the second test at Colombo to much surprise to the hosts Sri Lanka and fans too.
The superb 4 runs less double century by Muhammad Hafeez, his career best, and Azhar Ali's 157 ensured a strong case of winning the second test and equalizing the 1-1 the wo tests.
But then came rains - and came they heavily to whitewash hopes of the visitors to avenge the first test defeat.
Pakistan declared their first innings on an imposing 551-6 and claimed an early wicket as Sri Lanka went to lunch on 70-1.
But then rain stopped any further play after lunch.
We wait if clouds give way for play and Pakistan's hard work comes to their benefit. So far it looks it is for the benefit of the hosts as they are looking for a test series win against Pakistan.
