England fight back

Off-spinner Graeme Swann trapped Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul Haq in the penultimate over of the second day to help England fight back in the second Test here on Wednesday.

Misbah’s 13th half-century — his 11th in 13 Tests as captain — had kept Pakistan in a good position after openers Mohammad Hafeez had made 88 and Taufiq Umar 58 on a slow turning Dubai Stadium pitch.

But Swann trapped Misbah infront with a sharp incoming delivery and had the not out decision by New Zealand umpire Billy Bowden overturned by the Decision Review System (DRS) to boost England’s cause. DUBAI, Wednesday, AFP
