The Pakistan cricketers have fought back strongly in the second Test against England, reaching 291 for nine in their second innings, a lead of 112 runs with two days to play at Edgbaston in Birmingham.

Their recovery was led by Zulqarnain Haider, who scored a courageous 88 in his debut Test to frustrate England's bid to win inside three days.

Pakistan were dismissed in their first innings for just 72.
