Saeed Ajmal, Pakistan off-spinner took three wickets near the close of the second day of the second Test against England to bring Pakistan back into contention.
Ajmal, forced England to 207 for 5 in their first innings of the second Test when Pakistan was all collapsed on 257 in their first innings.
Ajmal was also the match winner bowler in the first Test match.
When Pakistan collapsed after their final three wickets for only one run, England seem to have a strong grip with a second-wicket partnership of 139 between Alastair Cook (94) and Jonathan Trott (74).
Cook was about to complete his 20th test century but he was trapped lbw on 94 by Ajmal.
Ajmal then struck again as Kevin Pieterson (14) once more struggled against spin.
Eoin Morgan (3) soon followed, nicking a thin edge to Hafeez.
