Final day8217;s play abandoned

The weather caused nearly 13 hours and 223 overs to be lost over the five-day game.

The touring side, facing a deficit of 142 runs, were overnight 48 for no wicket in their second innings. Pakistan made 325 for nine declared in reply to Zimbabwe8217;s modest first innings total of 183.

The result meant Zimbabwe cannot lose the series and carry their 1-0 lead by virtue of victory in the Peshawar Test to Faisalabad where the third and final Test begins from Thursday.

Zimbabwe have never won a Test series.

quot;We are obviously happy over the result as we8217;ve been able to keep our lead intact,quot;Zimbabwe captain Alistair Campbell said.

quot;We were looking for a respectable second innings total so that we had something to bowl at. We are not too disappointed with the result.quot;

Pakistan captain Moin Khan said he was disappointed the weather had disrupted the match so badly. quot;Obviously our efforts were to win here and then wrap up the series in Faisalabad.quot;
