It was another effective, yet troublesome period for the touring party, who resumed their first innings on 207 for 5 – still trailing the opponents by 50 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972 kept a deep square leg.
However, the opportunity arrived with Prior miscuing a sweep shot but http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdur-Rehman-c41691 of his own bowling.
However, the ball was smashed firmly which burst through the bowler’s fingers to the straight boundary. The left-armer than presented another half cracker to Bell, who duly pounded to cream the ball through the cover region.
Ajmal remained the host’s best hope for a wicket and the spin wizard kept on probing on the off-stumps to finally take out Prior, after he was caught lbw for 3. A referral was taken but to no avail.
With 30 runs still remaining, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 then got down to business with some methodical stroke plays to get his team closer to their opponents first innings score. The left-hander had little difficulty in playing the spinners, causing Misbah to opt for the new ball.

With one review remaining, Bell took it but hawk-eye again favoured the umpire’s decision as the touring party edged closer to the three hundred- run mark.
