England add only one run to their overnight total of 221-9 when the impressive teenager Mohammad Amir has Stuart Broad caught at mid-on for his fifth wicket and the tourists will need 148 to win the Test
James Anderson strikes with the fifth ball of Pakistan's innings, and Yasir Hameed's first, having the opener caught thanks to a juggling slip catch by Graeme Swann, to raise England's hopes
Imran Farhat takes advantage of some loose bowling to get the scoreboard moving quickly and calm Pakistan's nerves as they seek the win to set up a series decider at Lord's next week
England's hopes rest with Graeme Swann and the spinner comes up trumps by dismissing Farhat leg before for 33 after the opener sweeps and misses - Pakistan 57-2 after 11.3 overs
Mohammad Yousuf, Pakistan's most experienced batsman, looks in complete control and shows how much the tourists have missed his assured batting during his absence from the game
Swann does it again just before lunch when he has Salman Butt caught by Paul Collingwood at slip for 48 but it looks too little, too late with Pakistan on 103-3 and seemingly cruising to their target
England skipper Andrew Strauss shows his frustration as Pakistan cruise to 115-3, only 33 runs short of their target, at lunch - it seems only two days of rain can save his side now
Pakistan are only 24 runs shy of victory when Azhar Ali calls for a single after the ball deflects off Alastair Cook at short leg, but he hesitates slightly and is run out - surely England can't win it from here, can they?
Three overs later and Anderson produces a peach of a delivery to rearrange Yousuf's stumps. Suddenly England sense the chance of a remarkable victory with Pakistan 131-5
Another wicket next over! Kamran Akmal offers no stroke to a Swann off-spinner, is struck on the pad and the referral shows the ball would have the top of off stump - Pakistan in a panic on 132-6
The irrepressible Swann keeps plugging away and has the crowd on their edge of their seats with a couple of loud appeals as Pakistan struggle to knock off the final few runs
But Amir (left) and Umar Akmal hold their nerve to see Pakistan home by four wickets, which means the series will go to the final Test at Lord's with England leading 2-1
