After a 225-run stand between the Pakistan openers, Will Jacks got the visitors the much-needed breakthrough which was also his maiden Test scalp. He had Abdullah Shafique edging a short, wide delivery to the keeper, attempting a square cut. One brought two, as the old adage goes, and Jack Leach got Imam-ul-Haq to step out and loft one straight into the waiting hands of Ollie Robinson at long-off. Pakistan had lost both their centurions in the space of 27 balls, but Babar Azam stamped his class with his eight Test century.
Brief scores: Pakistan 499/7 (Babar Azam 138, Imam-ul-Haq 121, Abdullah Shafique 114; Will Jacks 3-132) trail England 657, by 247 runs.
