Jones steers England to safety Geraint Jones hit an unbeaten 69, and shared a 57 run last wicket partnership with James Anderson (9) to take England's lead past 400. It was a frustating partnership for Pakistan, and a win from here is next to impossible for the home side.
Danish Kaneria did pick up the last wicket, when he had James Anderson caught by Shoaib Akhtar, to finish with figures of 5-32. England bowled out for 227 in the 2nd innings, setting Pakistan 426 to win this test match.
Lunch has also been taken.
Geraint Jones' 69 not out was the top score of the innings. Ian Bell and Andrew Flintoff come next with 43 and 31 respectively.
