Pakistan dismiss England for 242

It was the fourth time in four innings that Masood fell to Anderson.

England resumed the day on the overnight score of 182 for three.

"I think Joe has brought a lot of calmness to the batting unit".

Root was unbowed, however, claiming a 15th Test half-century with a single through short-leg. "You can say I'm being negative but this game is done". "It's not the first time he's done it", said Waqar. He wants it badly.

Waqar was unsure how long Misbah would remain a Test cricketer, saying the captain had hinted the series with England could be his last but also stating he wanted to carry on. But, he and Pakistan will need the batsmen on the either side of his name in the lineup to support him.

Pakistan will aim to pile on the runs at the start of Day 4.

Mark Wood (3-39) partnered Stuart Broad as captain Cook opted for an all-seam attack, the quicks better able to sustain hostility in the relative cool of the morning.

Next in was Shoaib Malik (2), who lasted nine balls before trudging back to the pavilion. Bowler Ben Stokes roared with anger at the miss.

The wicket of Root (88) was always likely to be key and so it proved as England hit the skids once he was gone, pushing out to drive a wider one off Wahab and edging behind.

Misbah (87 not out) was one of three Pakistanis to pass 50, sharing an unbroken stand of 139 with Younus Khan (71no), in a stumps total which put England 358 behind already. He could only make four runs before he edged behind as Imran Khan picked up his first wicket of the day.

Pakistan had made 378 in their first innings.

Pakistan began with the contrasting threat of Wahab's scorching pace and Yasir's canny leg-spin.

PCB chairman met King Khan, Younis Khan and paid tribute to Younis Khan for scoring 9000 runs in Test cricket for Pakistan. This spell included a included a brutal 4-over interval that yielded three wickets for only one run, whereas general his first innings figures have been his second-greatest in check cricket.

Buttler has now hit 27 runs in three knocks against Pakistan.

England's effort with the bat didn't start too brightly, with Moeen doing his hopes of securing the openers berth for the series in South Africa later this winter no favours by fending Wahab (1-51) to short-leg in the second over. He raised his half-century with a pulled boundary through midwicket off Wood.

Spin introduced with Moeen Ali coming into the attack. Pak 32-0, 9 overs. Pak 11-0, 4 overs. The visitors' batting was wrapped up within the first session.

The problem for England was that their spinners posed no threat to the home batsmen.

Cook said India and Pakistan posed the same challenge.

Pakistan have gained a massive lead and will look to add more agony on England and with the likes of Asad Shafiq and Sarfraz Ahmed to come in next, the scoreboard will only get better. "Just bowled according to the coach's plan during the first innings", he said, reported Dunya News. "Root's wicket was important as he is the one who plays freely and doesn't take pressure", explained Wahab. The immovable batsman of Abu Dhabi was blessed, so it seemed, with immovable bails.
