England vs Pakistan 2nd Test, Southampton Weather Forecast
After Day 1 of the second Test was called off with Pakistan reeling at 126/5 in 45.4 overs due to rain, it could be the same on the second day as well. Day 2 is also likely to be interrupted by rain and that should not be a good piece of news for fans – who would love to see a pleasant day of cricket at Rose Bowl, Southampton.
ENG v PAK 2nd Test WEATHER FORECAST
The prediction for the first two days was in the range of 40%-45%. While the same plummets down to about 15% for Day 3, there’s a slight rise (30-35%) for the remaining two days. Even if rain falls on a few occasions, it shouldn’t affect the match in totality.
For that matter, rain is expected on all five days.
Meanwhile, after winning the first Test by three wickets in Manchester, the hosts will look to seal the series at Rose Bowl.
