The second Test of the two-match series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka has been shifted from Lahore to Rawalpindi amid thick smog, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Tuesday.

According to a PCB spokesperson, the second match, originally scheduled to be played at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium from November 17 to 21, has been relocated due to prevailing weather conditions.

The second Test will be played as scheduled from November 17 to 21 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

The venue change comes after two days of play in the series opener at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, where Sri Lanka trailed hosts Pakistan by 320 runs.

Put into bat first, Pakistan posted 434-9 in 106.3 overs before declaring, with Tayyab Arif, Mohammad Taha, captain Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel and all-rounder Arafat Minhas scoring half-centuries.

In reply, Sri Lanka had reached 114-3 in 27.1 overs before bad light forced an early close for the second consecutive day.
