England face a fight to avoid defeat on the final day of the second Test

England face a fight to avoid defeat on the final day of the second Test as Pakistan continued their dominance.

Set a Test record 491 to win after Pakistan declared on 354-6, the tourists reached 130-3 by the close of day four in Dubai.

Joe Root was unbeaten on 59, having seeing Ian Bell fall for 46 after tea.

Earlier, Younus Khan went to 118 - his 31st Test century - and Asad Shafiq made 79 as Pakistan added 132 to their overnight total.

England will retain some hope of saving the game while the accomplished Root remains at the crease.

However, with leg-spinner Yasir Shah and slow left-armer Zulfiqar Babar finding increasing turn on a wearing pitch, Pakistan can reasonably expect to wrap up victory and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
