The hosts added a quickfire 75 to their overnight 98 for one, with skipper Alastair Cook and Joe Root playing freely, before declaring to set Pakistan an unlikely victory target of 565. Mohammad Hafeez was 24 not out at lunch with Younus on 12 but Pakistan are in deep trouble. Pakistan would have to score the highest total achieved in a Test-match run chase to win. Pakistan survived without any more setbacks although Younus Khan should have been dismissed when he was dropped in the slips by Cook off Ben Stokes. England, trailing 1-0 in the series after defeat at Lord's, amassed 589 for eight declared in their first innings with Root scoring 254.
