Harmison took his best haul on English soil

Harmison played the first Test against Pakistan on little preparation and admitted: "I didn't feel as though I nailed it at Lord's."

"Here I felt I was bouncing in and it was back to the same rhythm, run up and confident action I've always had.

"I was in control of where the ball was going and in control of my action."

Harmison exploited a favourable pitch but showed a masterful control of line for figures of 6-19 in 13 overs - his best haul in England.

We have four days left and in the second innings two or three players could make hundreds, Pakistan's Younis Khan

Meanwhile spinner Monty Panesar took 3-21 in arguably his most impressive spell for the national team.

"Monty was awesome at the other end," said Harmison.

"He kept the same man on strike all the time - so I had somebody to work over each time."

And with England already 49 ahead after day one, he added: "Hopefully the wicket doesn't get any better, and if we can bat a full day I can see only one winner in the Test match."

Pakistan batsman Younis Khan pointed to two wickets fell in successive overs before lunch as key to Pakistan's collapse to 119 all out.

Younis (44) followed Mohammad Yousuf (38) back to the pavilion after a fourth-wicket stand of 81.

"It was a turning point for England and also for us - after that we collapsed," said Younis but he retained hope of Pakistan rescuing the match.

"We have four days left and in the second innings two or three players could make hundreds," he argued.
