When Azhar was out, Pakistan -already 3-0 down in the five-match series — were 169 for six off 38 overs and in danger of failing to bat out their full 50 in this day/ night fixture. But the fit-again Imad Wasim’s unbeaten 57 and his eighth-wicket stand of 56 with Hasan Ali took Pakistan past 200.

England slow bowlers Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali shared five wickets between them, with leg-spinner Rashid taking three for 47 on his home ground.
