Pakistan v England: Stuart Broad Broad, bursting with confidence after his four wickets on a flat deck, had the swagger of a Test all-rounder as he hit out to propel England to a first-innings lead that had looked unlikely on Thursday evening, when English batsmen groped in hope against Saeed Ajmal. "It was a personal decision to give it a bit of a go having seen the amount of turn and it paid off," he said. During the last half-hour [on Thursday] it was difficult to watch your team-mates out there because it looked like hard Test match cricket. You have to choose your times to attack and grab momentum. We were in a tricky position in the last hour of the second day because no one could go out and risk getting caught at mid-on. Modern teams have a plethora of statistics to help them plot Tests but the lack of matches on this ground is forcing them to rely on instinct. Both sides are struggling to predict how the pitch will behave as the match wears on making it hard to pin down an achievable fourth-innings target for England. Pakistan's Azhar Ali thought 150 would be enough to defend, while Broad wavered. "We don't want to be chasing more than 250 because scoreboard pressure plays a huge role in Test cricket and in particular tight matches like this," he said before revising the target. Even 150-200 would be a bit of a nipper, it is tight Test cricket. I keep thinking when I leave the ground at end of the day that tomorrow is going to be a huge day and by that evening I will know what the result will be. But I keep getting to the end of the day and I am no clearer. It could really go either way going into the fourth day. This has been an amazing Test so far. After small attendances for the first two days the crowd grew in the afternoon after Friday prayers with the stadium authorities putting the attendance at 14,000.
