Pakistan were bowled out for 400 in reply to England's first innings 297, a significant lead of 103 runs. The tourists kept England in the field for nearly 10-and-a-half hours in total. England's cause was hampered when James Anderson, their all-time leading Test wicket-taker, was barred from bowling again in the innings after receiving a third warning for running on the pitch from the umpires, with Pakistan then on 368 for eight.
Chris Woakes, in the all-rounder's first Test match on his Warwickshire home ground, led England's attack with three for 79, while fellow paceman Stuart Broad took three for 83. With the four-Test series all square at 1-1, Pakistan resumed on 257 for three after Azhar Ali had been dismissed for 139 off the last ball of Thursday's play, following partnerships of 181 and 76 with Sami Aslam (82) and Younis Khan (21 not out), respectively.
