England's hopes of reaching Pakistan's first innings total falter when Shahid Afridi cleans up Ashley Giles in the second over
Four overs later Matthew Hoggard drags a leg-side Afridi delivery on with England still 63 runs adrift
But Shaun Udal and Steve Harmison throw caution to the wind and put on 47 for the final wicket to leave England 16 behind
Pakistan's second innings gets off to a good start with Shoaib Malik and Salman Butt reaching 50-0 at lunch
Andrew Flintoff makes the breakthrough, Shoaib Malik mis-timing a drive through the covers straight to Ian Bell
And Hoggard traps Younis Khan leg before with the first delivery of a new spell to leave Pakistan 104-2
Salman Butt is batting confidently at the other end though and reaches a deserved half century
But the Pakistan opener is trapped leg before by Udal the ball after receiving a second warning for running on the wicket
England paceman Hoggard takes evasive action to avoid being hit on the head by a wayward Kevin Pietersen throw
Flintoff can barely believe it after Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq survives a leg before appeal as tea approaches
But the all-rounder hits back to remove crowd favourite Afridi first ball after also bowling Mohammad Yousuf for 20
And Harmison caps a remarkable evening's play by removing Kamran Akmal to leave Pakistan 183-6, 199 ahead
