Pakistan v England third Test: day two – in pictures
WICKET! Anderson 4 b Rehman (England 106-7) Well, I guess you good say he did his job in that he got through the night, but so far as night watches go, Anderson's effort here was no Rembrandt. He rashly decided to drive against the spin, but the ball landed in the footmarks and bounced back through the gate into the stumps.Photograph: Paul Childs/Action ImagesWICKET! Broad 4 LBW Ajmal (England 121-8) Oh dear. Stuart Broad has to go, though he's not all that happy about it. The delivery that did for him was a doosra, and despite what most people who saw it seemed to think upon seeing the size of the charge he took down the pitch, Hawkeye shows it hit him in line, and would have gone on to hit the middle of middle stump.Photograph: Lakruwan Wanniarachchi/AFP/Getty ImagesWICKET! Strauss 56 st Akmal b Rehman (England 133-9) Strauss goes! He was trying to slog away towards the leg side, but missed the ball and was stumped by Akmal. It was good 'keeping from him, and a rather embarrassing end to a fantastic innings by England's skipper, gifting Rehman his fifth wicket. He'd never had a five-wicket haul in Test cricket before this series, now he has two in two matches. Photograph: Lakruwan Wanniarachchi/AFP/Getty Images
WICKET! Swann 16 c Rehman b Ajmal (England 141 all out) Swann sweeps one more four and then lofts a catch out to the deep. England are all out with a lead of 42.Photograph: Philip Brown/ReutersWICKET! Taufeeq 6 c Strauss b Anderson (Pakistan 16-1) It's a brilliant piece of bowling by Anderson, who has been using the width of the crease to cause the batsmen different, difficult problems. This ball, as Sky Sports commentator Bumble Lloyd points out, was delivered from a little closer in, and Taufeeq edged it through to first slip.Photograph: Hassan Ammar/APWICKET! Hafeez 21 LBW (Pakistan 28-2) Monty lands a blow with a faster, flatter delivery that broke off the pitch just enough to slide past Hafeez's attempted sweep shot and hit him on the pad in front of off-stump.

He's looking hot and bothered, and doesn't get any happier when Ali knocks his next ball away for a single to the leg side to bring up his 50. Photograph: Gareth Copley/Getty Images72nd over: Pakistan 196-2 (Azhar Ali 65 Younus Khan 103) Younus brings up his century, having played quite superbly, mastering the conditions and the bowlers in a way that no one else has been able to do in this series.
