LAHORE, Feb 10: Despite a 92-run fourth wicket stand between skipper Aamir Bashir and Rehan Rafiq, Multan struggled to 151 for seven in their first innings against Lahore in the rain-hit Quaid-i-Azam Trophy match at the Gaddafi Stadium on Tuesday.
Play on the second day got under way at 1.40pm because of Monday's rain. Resuming at 54 for three, Aamir and Rehan lifted the score to 122 before Test all-rounder Abdul Razzaq broke the partnership. He trapped Aamir leg-before-wicket for 36.
The left-handed Rehan was also out in the same fashion to part-time leg-spin of Imran Farhat. His 54 included eight boundaries in a stay of three hours.
