Pakistan 556 and 152 for 6 (Salman 41*, Atkinson 2-28) trail England 823 for 7 dec (Brook 317, Root 262, Duckett 84, Crawley 78) by 115 runs

It was a day four that England had dreamed of and Pakistan feared, and one this docile Multan pitch probably did not deserve. A first Test that was drifting towards nothingness has now been flipped in favour of the tourists, who are on the cusp of another famous win in these parts.

England's staggering 823 for 7, their third highest total and fourth overall, featuring Harry Brook's maiden triple-century of 317 and Joe Root's new career-best of 262, has laden this match with more history for themselves. Pakistan, meanwhile, plumbed new depths.

A tough time in the field led to a dreadful start to their second innings, losing Abdullah Shafique first ball and then finding themselves 82 for 6, before eventually closing on 152 for 6. With Abrar Ahmed hospitalised with fever, they are likely three wickets away from a sixth consecutive Test defeat, and third at home.
