Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid met Yemen's prime minister, Maeen Abdulmalik Saeed, at Expo 2020 Dubai on Monday.

The Vice President and Ruler of Dubai toured Yemen's pavilion at the world fair with Mr Saeed.

Sheikh Mohammed spoke of the meeting on Twitter, praising the “honour, honesty, pride and brotherhood” of the people of Yemen.

Mr Saeed held high-level talks with UAE leaders during his trip to the Emirates.

On New Year's Eve, he met Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, in the capital.

During that meeting, the pair discussed efforts to forge closer ties between their nations and reviewed the humanitarian situation and latest developments in Yemen.

Sheikh Mohamed said the UAE was committed to ensuring Yemen's security and stability.

Mr Saeed thanked the UAE for its developmental and humanitarian support for Yemen, which includes contributions towards restoring vital facilities and developing infrastructure.

He also praised the efforts of the Arab Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen, led by Saudi Arabia, and its role in supporting the Yemeni people.

Day 3, Abu Dhabi Test: At a glance

Moment of the day Just three balls remained in an exhausting day for Sri Lanka’s bowlers when they were afforded some belated cheer. Nuwan Pradeep, unrewarded in 15 overs to that point, let slip a seemingly innocuous delivery down the legside. Babar Azam feathered it behind, and Niroshan Dickwella dived to make a fine catch.

Stat of the day - 2.56 Shan Masood and Sami Aslam are the 16th opening partnership Pakistan have had in Tests in the past five years. That turnover at the top of the order – a new pair every 2.56 Test matches on average – is by far the fastest rate among the leading Test sides. Masood and Aslam put on 114 in their first alliance in Abu Dhabi.

The verdict Even by the normal standards of Test cricket in the UAE, this has been slow going. Pakistan’s run-rate of 2.38 per over is the lowest they have managed in a Test match in this country. With just 14 wickets having fallen in three days so far, it is difficult to see 26 dropping to bring about a result over the next two.
