England vs Pakistan, 2nd npower Test, Edgbaston, 3rd day


Zulqarnain Haider produced Pakistan's best batting of the series to build a lead over England


Against all expectation Pakistan carried the second Test into the fourth day against an increasingly agitated England team as Zulqarnain Haider played the innings of his life to defy the hosts with 88 off 200 balls. When Graeme Swann bagged his fourth wicket - on the way to a career-best 6 for 60 - the visitors were 101 for 6, but Haider found outstanding support in the contrasting styles of Mohammad Amir and Saeed Ajmal to build a lead of 112 and finally make the series a contest.


Pakistan 72 and 291 for 9 (Gul 9*, Asif 13*, Swann 6-60) lead England 251 by 112 runs
