6.30pm: Thanks for coming. One of those games, unfortunately, but we don't have long to wait before doing it all over again (hopefully with better weather) for the third Test. Valkerie is polishing up her report on this soggy shemozzle, and there'll be more to come from George and Osman. Thanks for keeping us company through the bad (light) and good, we'll be back for more Friday... From myself, Danyal, Chandan, Raghav and everyone else, it's goodbye for now. Ta ra!

6.20pm: We'll dribble on a little longer, time for the post-match presentations, starting with Azhar Ali: "Frustrating for both teams. Thought the game was set nicely, conditions good for bowling but unfortunately the weather was against us. We spoke before about the challenge of batting first, we thought the heat would have an effect on the pitch but it changed around. They have a brilliant attack led by Broad and Anderson but we stuck to the task, we needed that on that pitch. [Personal form?] I felt good, first [Test] my balance wasn't good, bit felt confident. Unfortunately I couldn't convert the start. The best thing is we didn't have to bowl too much, big Test coming up and we want everyone to be fresh."

England captain Joe Root: [Stoppages?] "Coped with it best we can, really excited about challenge this week but didn't get as much cricket as we'd like. Glad to still be 1-0 up. Spoke before about being professional in our approach to this session, young top order and great to get through the other side. [Sibley and Crawley] For those two that partnership was high class. [Change regs?] Potentially start half hour earlier, think you want to protect Test cricket as much as you can in terms of the ball. We've had a week of strange circumstances, not often you see bad light play such a part. Everyone worked hard to get play to day and both teams got on with it. Time and a place for pink ball, whether you're swapping it in, I'm not so sure. [Archer available for third Test?] All guys are in contention, we have fantastic options to choose from, see where they are at physically and then make a decision."

Mohammad Rizwan is named Man of the Match for his sparkling 72: "Thanks to Allah, worked hard for this kind of team effort, unfortunately the game wasn't fully played but was looking forward to full contest. Tough keeping in England, first time, I have worked extra and used the tape ball because it's lighter and wobbles in the air. [Third Test?] Looking forward to it, playing good cricket and want to take positives into that game."

6.10pm: Now, let's never speak of this Test again. Regained a bit of respectability in the end but, with 134.3 overs bowled, it's still in the top 10 shortest Tests played in England (ignoring washouts). You don't often get near a result in that time... although give it another 20 overs. Good to see the teams finish off with a sparring session in the evening sunshine, but you'd think everyone will want to move swiftly on to the final match of the series, starting on the same ground on Friday, with England still protecting a 1-0 lead.

The last knockings are approaching, here comes Azhar Ali to bowl seam-up

"Just 2 bad sessions for Pakistan in the whole series. England had too many bad sessions," opines Abdullah. "Difference was that Pakistan's bad sessions were so Bad, while England managed to hang on somehow. Pakistan needs more test matches to learn the art of hanging on and staying out there."
