Pakistan, trailing 1-0 in the series after a massive innings and 47-run loss in the first Test, posted 221, handing a target of 297 on a dry wicket that continues to suit the spinners.
At stumps, England were 36/2, still requiring another 261 runs to win but the hosts were in the driver's seat as they require another eight wickets to win this match and level the series 1-1.
