Azhar Ali top scored the board with 139 runs. The second innings turned out to be a tough one for the Pakistani bowlers as they weren’t able to pick a single wicket on day three.

On Day 4, it was clear that Pakistan had to chip early wickets in order to make a comeback. Sohail Khan took charge and got the wicket of Cook with the help of Yasir Shah. On the first ball of the 39th over, Cook got a thick edge off a back of a length delivery. The ball travelled towards point in the air at a good speed and needed some athleticism to be cupped. Yasir, who was deployed at point dived to his left and pulled off a stunning catch.
