After their first away win against England, Pakistan had to wait 28 years for another one. Losing the first Test at Birmingham by a margin of 113 runs, Pakistan had to put up a better performance at the Mecca of Cricket to stay alive in the series.

Riding on a classy double century by Mohsin Khan, they piled up 428 runs and declared before Tea on the second day. After Sarfaraz Nawaz cleaned up both the England openers, none of the batsmen could score more than 32. Abdul Qader picked up 4 wickets to pack up England for 227, just 2 runs behind the follow-on total.

Following on, life wasn’t any easier for the hosts as fast bowler Mudassar Nazar single-handedly reduced England to 9/3. Despite the repair work carried out by Chris Tavare and Ian Botham who scored half centuries each, England could manage only 276, setting up a target of 76 runs for the tourists to level the series. The Pakistani openers made short work of the target by completing it within 13.1 overs thus setting up an exciting finale at Lord’s.
