Pakistan fight hard
Pakistan were left with a battle to avoid conceding England a series-levelling
win after Monty Panesar proved threatening with three wickets in the
second Test here on Friday.
After Panesar had taken 3-44, it was left to Azhar Ali (46) and Asad
Shafiq (35) to put on a 71-run stand for the fifth wicket to lift
Pakistan to 125-4 at the close on the third day on a weary Abu Dhabi
Stadium pitch.
Ali joined Shafiq with Pakistan reeling at 54-4, as Panesar dismissed
Mohammad Hafeez (22), Younis Khan (one) and Misbah-ul Haq (12) in his
sustained 20-over spell on either side of the tea interval. AFP |
