Pakistan were in a strong position to win the second Test and level the series after removing both England openers on a tricky Multan pitch on Thursday with spinner Sajid Khan their hero.
The hosts set England a daunting target of 297 before Sajid dismissed Ben Duckett and fellow spinner Noman Ali had Zak Crawley to leave England on 36-2 after Day Three.
