In the best weather of the series, fans are not exactly rushing to Edgbaston, where Pakistan begin day three on 19-1 in their second innings - still 160 runs behind England
There's a nasty moment for opener Imran Farhat when Stuart Broad's bouncer clatters him on the helmet
And England's first wickets of the day come when Graeme Swann strikes in each of his first two overs
Steven Finn adds the wicket of the experienced Shoaib Malik but later goes off for treatement on a sore foot. He returns after lunch, however, and the second session starts with Pakistan 94-5, in danger of an innings defeat
Swann looks in terrific order and picks up his fourth wicket soon after lunch... Concentration is etched over Zulqarnain Haider's face as Pakistan seek to take the match past the tea interval
Haider and Mohammad Amir (pictured) unexpectedly get Pakistan through to tea without further damage, though at 150-6 Pakistan still trail England by 29 runs and the second new ball is imminent
Pakistan finally lose a seventh wicket when Amir is caught in the slips off Broad, but Haider goes to his half-century in an enterprising stand with Saeed Ajmal, and in so doing puts Pakistan in the lead
Ajmal, with a previous best score of 53 in 117 first-class innings, keeps England totally frustrated as Pakistan suddenly start piling on the runs late in the day, ensuring the match will continue until Monday
Two late wickets for Graeme Swann finally see Ajmal (50) and Haider (88) dismissed after putting on 115 but Pakistan will be batting on Monday at 291-9, a lead of 112 runs
