England seize initiative

England reached 43-0 at tea,but Pakistan finally enjoyed some success when it removed both openers early in the evening session. Cook 17,having successfully reviewed an lbw decision when he was on 5,fell to the third ball after tea,trying an ill-judged pull that flew off his glove to Akmal at second slip. Strauss followed in the next over,the 11th,after initially being given not out by umpire Steve Davis.

A review showed Aamer had found Strauss8217; inside edge before he was caught behind by Haider,but Pakistan then missed four catches,three of them simple.

Trott was on 8 when he flashed at a ball from Asif in the 16th over,but Farhat grassed an easy chance and worse was to follow.

In the 22nd over Pietersen,on 9,swatted Ajmal to mid-on,where Gul inexplicably parried the ball over the boundary rope for four.

Pietersen advanced to 20 when he inside-edged Gul,but Haider went for the ball with one hand and dropped it and Pietersen8217;s charmed innings continued when he edged a four between Haider and first slip.

Brief scores: Pakistan all out 72 in 39.3 overs U Amin 23,J Anderson 4/20,S Broad 4/38; England 1st innings 112/2 in 34. 2 overs K Pietersen batting 36
