England had been 58-3, 98-4, and then 145-5 when Brook was involved in captain Ben Stokes’ run out for 26.

Brook, on the other hand, shared a 117-stand with Ben Foakes, who marked his recall with 64 after being given out on nine.

Despite Brook being lbw to Mohammad Wasim, Foakes added 51 with Mark Wood, and Ollie Robinson and Jack Leach added 30 for the final wicket.

Pakistan were given nine overs to survive in the fading light, and they reached 21-0 to trail by 29 runs.

England has already won the series 2-0 and is attempting to become the first team to sweep Pakistan 3-0.

This series, England’s first in Pakistan in 17 years, has already produced memorable finishes in the first two Tests, and a thrilling Sunday in Karachi has raised the prospect of an appropriate conclusion.

The match swung back and forth on a pitch that provided plenty of spin and almost nothing for pace bowlers.

Because of the conditions, match situation, and bowling quality, England, which is always eager to score quickly, had to be pragmatic. Even so, they were still moving at a rate of more than four runs per over.

At various points, both teams had the opportunity to take a significant lead, and the fact that England managed to take one could be significant in their eventual run-chase on the wearing surface.

Late in the day, England bowled only spin, with Leach having a lbw appeal against Abdullah Shafique turned down.

Pakistan has all ten wickets in hand as they look to take a match-winning lead on Monday. It will not be a draw, just as England prefers.
