James Anderson picked up 4-17 in a brilliant display of fast bowling as England bowled out Pakistan for 234 on the first day of the third test on Sunday.
Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq, who won his sixth successive toss in a test match and opted to bat, top scored with 71 with seven fours and two sixes before falling to Anderson with the second new ball.
Anderson combined with Stuart Broad who took 2-13 off 13 overs to dismantle Pakistan's top order before Misbah shared an 80-run sixth wicket stand with Sarfraz Ahmed, who made 39.
Pakistan's hopes of scoring heavily on a slow surface were dented badly by Anderson and Broad's incisive bowling.
Azhar Ali, playing his first test of the series after missing the first two due to injury was out for a duck after getting an edge to Anderson's delivery in only third over of morning.
Broad and Anderson bowled eight maiden overs between them. left-arm spinner Samit Patel, drafted in place of Mark Wood, had Asad Shafiq caught behind off a delivery that spun from the right-handed batsman as Pak faltered at 116/5.
