Rashid takes 5 wickets on the last day and bowls England towards an unlikely victory in a dull Test Match against Pakistan. Then with the England run chase well under way and only 25 runs needed for victory the Umpires take the teams off for bad light even though the floodlights are on.

Surely the Umpires could have just said we will play 2 more overs and if you aren’t over the line by then that’s your lot? Would have evened things up with all the time wasting the Pakis had done. Of course England would never indulge in such shoddy tactics unless it was totally justified. Like trying to avoid defeat in a Test Match.
