RAWALPINDI: The eagerly anticipated first Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Rawalpindi has faced yet another delay due to persistent rain and a wet outfield. Originally scheduled to start earlier in the day, the match has now been pushed back further as ground conditions remain unsuitable for play.
The lunch break has been rescheduled to 12 noon, with match officials set to conduct another inspection of the pitch and outfield at that time.
