England suffered a first innings batting collapse but still edged nearer to another crushing win over Pakistan, who trailed by 160 runs at close of play on day two of the second test at Edgbaston on Saturday.
Pakistan, dismissed for a dismal 72 on Friday before bowling England out for 251, reached 19 for one at the close with opener Imran Farhat unbeaten on 10 and Azhar Ali was not out on five.
Bad light ended play five overs early.
The wicket to fall was that of Pakistan captain Salman Butt, who was defeated by a swinging James Anderson ball on off stump and caught by Andrew Strauss at first slip.Butt failed to score and now has just 16 runs in his four innings in the series so far.
