So England are right under the pump.

They are still 127 runs behind on a pitch that has started to turn big and have only four wickets left after their late-evening collapse.

You can get full details of a fascinating day's play in Stephan Shemilt's match report from Multan.

Day three may go a long way towards deciding the match. Join us from 05:45 BST.

England opener Ben Duckett, speaking to Sky Sports: "Obviously I'm happy with how I played. It would be nice to be going back out there tomorrow, maybe a couple of wickets less but credit to them, I think they bowled so well throughout our whole innings.

"I felt like that's a period where you can step off and get some runs at the end of the day but they didn't want to make it easy for us.

"We can see it's spinning and I always think in situations like this, we can win that first hour tomorrow, get as close as we can to their score and then make it a one-innings match."

On the pitch: "I think they did [bowl slower] to me, knowing I was going to sweep a lot more.

"But actually, we thought the new ball was going to be the hardest phase but looking back, that was when it was at its truest and sweeping was a lot easier.

"When that ball became a lot softer, it doesn't travel as far off the bat and you're sweeping for two rather than four and the runs come a lot tougher.

"I think they bowled well, they were right at us until the end of the day and got their rewards late on."

At tea I would have said England were in the box seat.

Tomorrow morning in the first half-an-hour will be vitally important.

If England can suck a bit of wind out of Pakistan's sails in that first half-an-hour, accumulate a few runs, leave some gaps in the outfield for them to be able to rotate the striker and move that scoreboard forward.

Then England can have dreams of getting somewhere close to fifty runs behind.

Ben Duckett's ability to decipher what needed to be knocked into the gaps and what needed to be swept was the most impressive thing.

Duckett being a bit shorter has a really wide stance. He gets the bat parallel to ground and when you sweep with the bat parallel to the ground you give yourself a better opportunity to hit the ball with the full face of the bat.

It wasn't as if he was blindly sweeping every ball, he was knocking it into the gaps, he was advancing down the pitch and he showed real maturity.

It was a brilliant innings.

Where would England be without Ben Duckett?

He batted brilliantly for his 114. He put on 73 with Zak Crawley and took on the charge after Crawley was caught behind off left-arm spinner Noman Ali.

Duckett swept constantly and it worked perfectly to counter Pakistan's spinners.

23% of his runs in reaching 100 were from sweeps.

I love Sajid Khan. He was creating some degree of theatre. He thinks everything is out which hits the pad.

He caught Joe Root on the crease which rarely happens. For an off spinner Root is usually so astute at being able to get forward and smother the length or to get right out and sweep it.

There was something about the drift that was causing good players to have indecision.

England were 211-2 before Joe Root got out.

He was slightly unlucky to divert an under edge on the sweep onto his stumps via his boot.

Root was the first of three wickets in 10 balls from off-spinner Sajid Khan. Ben Duckett slashed to slip and Harry Brook had his leg stump knocked back by one that turned from outside off.

When there's jeopardy, the game is far more interesting.

It has been a captivating day of Test cricket right from the beginning when the seamers were bowling that reverse swing. Brydon Carse getting some joy this morning.

All the way through the day there's been captivating passages of play. That jeopardy keeps you interested all day long.

That last bit of play with fielders around the batter, the ball is spiting a bit and you have to be so precise as a batter.

It was fascinating Test cricket and unfortunately for England at the end of the day they fall a long way behind in the game.

What a day of Test cricket.

England having the brilliant opening partnership, then Pakistan coming back into the game. I love that Pakistan are finishing the day on top. We weren't sure on Pakistan's total, but it's proving to be a good total.

England are struggling after the collapse in the middle order.

Brydon Carse and Jamie Smith have a job to do tomorrow. It is so much more entertaining when there's a contest between the bat and ball.

There are high fives between all of the Pakistan players after the final ball. England were 211-2 just 45 minutes ago.

There is no doubt which side will be the happier.

And breathe.

Brydon Carse lives to fight another day.

It's very dark now. You wouldn't be able to bowl a pace bowler now, not that Pakistan would want to.

Carse comes through another nervy maiden. This is not the time to Bazball.

There are three minutes left - possibly time for two overs unless England start tying their shoelaces mid-pitch.

We're at the stage where maybe Brydon Carse needs to have more of the strike and save Jamie Smith for tomorrow.

There's vicious turn for Sajid Khan to Brydon Carse now. The sun has almost disappeared over the horizon.

England need the close.

There are yelps from those around the bat after every ball - most of them from the excitable Muhammad Rizwan.

It's a maiden from Noman Ali to Jamie Smith.

Sajid Khan's attacked the channel outside off a lot more often in this session compared to one before tea. 57% of his deliveries in this session have ended in the channel outside off compared to 28% before tea.

Big difference in the average turn too with 3.21° before tea compared to 4.41° after tea. The change in line and consistency along with the extra turn has earned him these four crucial wickets.
