Day 3 report
Pakistan set England a tricky victory target of 297 and then reduced the touring side to 36 for two on an eventful third day of the second test to stay on course for a series-levelling victory on Thursday.
Salman Agha dropped twice early in his knock and smashed a belligerent 63 as Pakistan posted 221 all out in its second innings in the spin-dominated contest.
It left England substantial total to win the match and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-test series but its batters struggled against the turning ball on a track where spinners from both sides have done well.
England, still 261 runs behind its target, will expect vice-captain Ollie Pope (21) and batting mainstay Joe Root (12) to put its chase back on track when play resumes on Friday.
Earlier, Sajid Khan claimed seven wickets as Pakistan bowled England out for 291 to grab a handy lead of 75 at the Multan Cricket Stadium.
England, resuming on 239-6, lost its remaining four wickets in the first hour.
