Nottingham Test: day Pakistan top order crumbles in chase
Pakistan 182 & 15/3 (7.0 ov) Stumps - Day 3 England 354 & 262/9d Pakistan require another 420 runs with 7 wickets remaining Matt Prior's courageous 102 not out on day three of the first test helped England recover from early trouble to set Pakistan a world record target of 435 to win at Trent Bridge. Chasing target of 435 runs, Pakistani top order batsmen Imran Farhat, Salman Butt and Azhar Ali could not survive. Earlier, Pakistan kept themselves afloat on the third day at Trent Bridge, as a brave, attacking half-century from Umar Gul took them past the 155 required to avoid the follow on and Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer then nipped out England's openers to reduce the hosts to 49 for 2 at lunch. Umar Guls half century saved Pakistan from follow-on while Pakistan played an innings of 182 with all out on the third day of Nottingham Test. Umar scored 65 securing Pakistan from follow-on. Shoaib Malik played an inning of 38, Muhammad Amir 25 and Imran Farhat scored 19. Andreson took five wickets; Finn 3 and Broad claim one player. Earlier, England played an innings of 354.
