Middlesex paceman Tim Murtagh led Ireland´s attack with four wickets for 55 runs from 25 overs.
But hopes he might take a five-wicket haul on Test debut were scuppered when Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed declared 30 minutes before Sunday´s scheduled lunch break in a stand-alone match where the whole of Friday´s scheduled first day was washed out.

Pakistan resumed play on the third day with 268-6 on the scoreboard. Shadab Khan added another three runs to his overnight score of 52 before being struck out by Tim Murtagh.
The play had ended early on the second day of the Test due to bad light and then rain. Earlier Asad Shafiq made 62 as Pakistan recovered from losing two wickets in successive balls to be 13 for two.
