Attack mode: Pakistan are favourites to beat England thanks to Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan
(Picture: AP)A morning of two halves occurred in Rawalpindi as Pakistan initially showed no interest in pursuing victory before launching an assault on England’s spinners that placed them ahead of the game for the first time. The session finished with Pakistan requiring 174 for victory and England needing a further seven wickets.
The day began with good news for the hosts as Azhar Ali, who had been forced to retire hurt late last night after taking a blow to the hand, was announced as fit to bat on the final day of the first Test.
