Azhar ton gives Pakistan control of third test

  • Pakistan reach 257-3 in first innings
  • Azhar hits 139 while Aslam makes 82
  • Sloppy England drop two catches

Azhar got to three figures by gloving a Stuart Broad bouncer to the fine leg boundary, celebrating the milestone with 10 press-ups.

He continued to punish the England attack, hitting a total of 15 fours and one six, before edging the last ball of the day from Chris Woakes to Alastair Cook at first slip.

Younus Khan was unbeaten on 21 at the close.

The four-match series is level at 1-1.
