Shakeel's watchful century, laced with 70 singles, rescued Pakistan from 46-3. Noman (45) and Sajid (48*) provided vital support, frustrating England's bowlers. Rehan Ahmed's three-wicket burst earlier had left Pakistan reeling at 177-7.

England's batting woes resurfaced as Sajid and Noman struck, removing Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, and Ollie Pope. Pakistan's spinners exploited the slow pitch, leaving England struggling.

England's tactics were questioned, particularly Ben Stokes' reluctance to bowl Rehan Ahmed earlier. The tourists' inability to dismiss Pakistan's tail cost them dearly, conceding 167 runs after the seventh wicket fell.

With the series on the line, England faces an uphill battle, requiring a substantial total to challenge Pakistan.
