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.

7 held for running fake call centre in South Kolkata
Kolkata (PTI): Seven people were arrested from the Parnashree area in the southern part of the city for allegedly running a fake call centre, a police officer said on Saturday.
Acting on a tip-off, police raided a house on Netaji Subhas Road on Friday night and found the fake call centre operating from the ground floor, he said.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the accused had set up a bogus company using forged documents and posed as employees of an antivirus firm to call citizens in the US, the officer said.
"The callers would gain the trust of victims and then use remote access to take control of their phones or other digital devices. The accused allegedly siphoned off large sums of money, running into millions of dollars, from victims' accounts," he said.
Five laptops, two WiFi routers, six mobile phones and four headsets were seized from the accused, he said, adding that the seven are being questioned to ascertain the full extent of the racket and to identify others involved.
