WATCH: Hasan Ali enjoys rain during second Test between Pakistan, Sri Lanka
The match was interrupted on the second day
Pacer Hasan Ali was caught on camera enjoying rain during the second Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Colombo on Tuesday.
The match was interrupted due to heavy rain in the morning session of day two which gave Hasan, who isn’t part of the playing XI, an opportunity to go out on the field and have fun amid the heavy downpour.
Pakistan were 178-2 when rain arrived, forcing early lunch, and had a lead of 12 runs.
Abdullah Shafique was batting on 87, meanwhile Babar Azam had scored 28 runs.
Pakistan took control of the second Test after bundling out the hosts in two sessions for only 166 at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground on Monday.
Babar Azam's side, who lead the two-match series 1-0, batted at a quick pace to further consolidate their position and ended the first day on 145-2.
Earlier, Sri Lanka didn't impress with the bat after captain Dimuth Karunaratne won the toss and decided to bat first.
Naseem Shah (3-41) and Shaheen Afridi (1-44) dented Sri Lanka's top-order as the home side slipped to 36-4.
Dhananjaya de Silva was the top scorer for Sri Lanka with 57 but only two other teammates managed double digits.
Pakistan continued to do well in the field as Shan Masood ran out opener Nishan Madushka and tailender Prabath Jayasuriya with direct throws.
Pakistan scored at a quick rate when they came out to bat.
Opener Imam-ul-Haq scored six before being caught at gully but Shafique added brisk 108-run partnership with Masood (51) to keep the visitors in control.
Asitha Fernando claimed his second wicket when Masood miscued a pull shot.
