Summary

Jonathan Agnew presents from the Ageas Bowl on a frustrating day two for England in the 2nd Test against Pakistan. Rain and bad light meant only 40.2 overs were possible as the tourists reached 223-9 with Mohammad Rizwan unbeaten on 60. Michael Vaughan and Azhar Mahmood join Aggers to discuss whether England got their tactics wrong and, looking ahead, if Pakistan's bowling attack could swing the match in their favour. There's reaction from Stuart Broad and we hear from Warwickshire Chief Executive Stuart Cain about plans to have some fans at the T20 Blast Finals Day. There's also a classic View from the Boundary with Waleed Khan, who survived being shot six times in the head during a terrorist attack in Pakistan when he was just 12 years old.

Close a play of the second day of this second test match

between England and Pakistan, the year's bowl,

0:43.4

since Pakistan, on 2.23 for 9 after 86 overs.

0:47.3

So basically now, after two days, we've basically lost a whole day's play.

0:51.3

Some can be made up, but that didn't too complicated with calculations.

0:56.4

Effectively, we've lost a whole day's play now, not to rain,

1:00.8

but to what has been judged to be bad light, and that obviously sparked all sorts of

1:05.3

common criticism about whether the light is fit for play, whether it's unreasonable to play,

whether it's dangerous to play, it's the usual interpretation that has to be implemented by the

1:14.3

umpires, and they have decided again, and not for the first time this summer, that play was not

good enough. Mahabad Rizwan is 16 not out. Now, well, he's played too.

1:23.6

A little chirpy character, and he's held this lower order together.

1:27.3

Here, Mahabad Rizwan, but on 39 together, he, of course, batting at number 10,
