ENGLAND are staring down the barrel of defeat in their Test series with Pakistan after Sajid Khan claimed he tricked the tourists with a few well-chosen words of Urdu.
Day two ended with pressure mounting on England, who trail by 53 after losing three second-innings wickets in nine overs before the close.
England had earlier let a promising position slip in Rawalpindi as centurion Saud Shakeel (134) lifted the hosts from a shaky 177-7 to 344 all out.
Wicketkeeper Jamie Smith had earlier put him down on 26 and he cashed in brilliantly, sharing partnerships totalling 160 with the tail.
Joining Shakeel in a crucial ninth-wicket stand of 72 was Sajid, whose haul of 16 wickets since being recalled last week have cast him a central figure in the drama.
