ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Dense fog canceled play for a second straight day in the third and decisive cricket Test between Pakistan and Zimbabwe in Faisalabad on Friday.

Misty conditions and thick fog denied play on the first day Thursday. On Friday foggy conditions continued and the umpires canceled play.

"The light is even poorer then what we witnessed on the first day," Pakistani umpire Salim Badar said.

The weather forecast is not encouraging for the remaining three days of the match with more fog expected.

"It's quite foggy out there and I doubt if there will be any play in this Test match," Badar said.

Zimbabwe leads the three-match series 1-0 after winning the first Test by seven wickets. The second Test was a draw, in large partbecause of the reduced overs as a result of poor visibility and fog.
