England-Pakistan heading for draw after more wet weather
Southampton: The second test between England and Pakistan was heading for a draw on Monday after a wet outfield prevented play from starting on time on the fifth and final day.
The umpires inspected the pitch and outfield at the Rose Bowl at the scheduled start of play of 11 a.m. And were due to make another inspection an hour later. Rain is forecast for later.
Rain washed out all of the third day and most of the fourth day, while time was lost during the first two days because of wet weather and bad light.
England was 7-1 in reply to Pakistan's 236 all out. England leads the three-match-series 1-0.

Iran’s Fars news agency reports Khamenei’s daughter, grandson killed in strikes
Tehran: Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency is reporting that several close family members of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei have been killed in the recent joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran.
According to Fars, the supreme leader’s daughter, son-in-law and grandson were killed in the attacks. The agency, which is aligned with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), cited sources close to Tehran’s leadership for the information.
This report follows wide-ranging claims and counter-claims about the impact of the strikes on Iran’s top leadership. Israeli and US officials have suggested that Khamenei himself was killed, though Tehran has repeatedly denied those claims and described them as psychological warfare.
There has been no official confirmation from Iranian authorities regarding the deaths of Khamenei’s family members, and independent verification of the reports is still lacking.
