The second Test between England and Pakistan ended in a draw after the play was interruppted for fifth consecutive day due to rain at the Rose Bowl Cricket Ground in Southamptom on Monday.

On the fifth and the final day of the clash, England declared their innings at 110/4 in reply to Pakistan's first-innings score of 236.

Earlier in the day, the first and the second sessions of the day was washed off due to rain and wet outfield before the play was finally resumed at 7.50 p.m.

On Sunday, Pakistan removed opening batsman Rory Burns for a duck to leave England to seven for one in their first-innings before bad light and subsequent rain played the spoilsport for the fourth consecutive day and forced early stumps.

Earlier, England bundled out Pakistan for 236 runs in their first innings, with Mohammad Rizwan (72) and Abid Ali (60) being the top scorers for the visitors.
