While the Test match between Bangladesh and Pakistan could not resume on Day 2 owing to the rains, seems like the players were in a good mood and decided to make the most of the rain break rather than complaining about it. While most players found their own ways of passing the time, Shakib Al Hasan's run-up and slide through a water pool over the covers has gone viral.
The Bangladesh all-rounder who is making a return in this match after an injury did not shy away from getting drenched, dressed in Bangladesh whites but threw himself on the water, clearly enjoying himself on the field. The video of him having a gala time has gone viral in no time with several netizens sharing them online.

On the other hand, Babar Azam & Co also enjoyed the time off but adopted a different method. While the Men in Green would have loved to play outdoors, with rain not making it possible they played some indoor cricket. The video of their indoor cricket game was even shared by the Pakistan Cricket Board in which Babar himself can be seen batting.
"Rain might have kept our boys off the field, but they had a gripping match of their own in the dressing room. Babar Azam batted first, and had a cautious start," the video was captioned.
Here is the video:
Pakistan are already leading the two-match Test series 1-0. In the second Test so far, the Men in Green have scored 188/2 runs with skipper Babar nearing another hundred, batting at an unbeaten 71. Azhar Ali is also looking good having completed his half-century. Abid Ali and Abdullah Shafique are the two Pakistan batters to depart in the first innings of this match so far with Taijul Islam being the only successful Bangladesh bowler in the match.
In addition, Shakib has bowled brilliantly and has been the most miserly with the ball, giving away 33 runs in his 15 overs but hasn't been able to pick up a wicket yet.
