England had batted for a further 50 minutes at the start of play, scoring another 31 runs to give themselves a lead of 75 on first innings when Alastair Cook declared.

Wickets fell in a flurry toward the end, with Ben Stoke (57) and Jos Buttler (23) also falling along with Cook.
According to details, match has taken a twist as for first days of Test match it seemed like it will be a draw without any hesitation but this is the game of cricket anything can happen at anytime.
Anderson struck in the third over of the innings when Shan Masood’s defended from a full delivery, only for the ball to bounce back under his bat and clatter into his stumps.
The day began with just the outside prospect of an interesting finish, if England could post sufficiently quick runs to secure a daunting first-innings lead.
Four balls later it was a superbly hostile short ball dug into the pitch that forced Shoaib to fend the ball gently to Jonny Bairstow at short leg.
England sensed an outside chance to shred more nerves – which could have been the only explanation for Mohammad Hafeez’s early-afternoon misjudgment. But it was Adil Rashid’s spin that broke the partnership and caused trouble in Pakistan ranks.
Misbah was lucky to survive on 19, with the score on 87-3.
His former Yorkshire team-mate helped to improve his figures infinitely when he did not get to the pitch of a leg-break and skied to mid-off five short of his 50.
Moeen then removed Wahab Riaz caught behind, before Rashid claimed the final three wickets – all superbly caught at first slip by James Anderson.

With Rashid gone, bowled when Imran Khan snaked the ball back through his loose drive, Cook decided last pair Anderson and Broad were better deployed with ball rather than bat for the second hour before lunch and with a possible 79 overs left.
