Set a challenging 355 runs for victory, Pakistan ended the third day at 198-4, needing another 157 with two full days remaining. With reverse swing helping the fast bowlers, England derailed Pakistan’s start of 66 without loss with three wickets for just 17 runs. But Haq (60) and Shakeel (54 not out) led a remarkable 156-minute fightback during their stand of 108 for the fourth wicket before Jack Leach had the former caught at slip three overs before stumps. Haq, who came in at number five instead of opening the innings following hamstring treatment, hit seven boundaries.

England assistant coach Marcus Trescothick said he thought Haq’s wicket shifted the balance in his team’s favour. “I think it …
