BIRMINGHAM (UNITED KINGDOM) - Pakistan were set a target of 343 to win the third Test after England declared their second innings on 445 for six on the fifth morning at Edgbaston on Sunday.
Moeen Ali top-scored with 86 not out after helping Jonny Bairstow (83) add 152 in a sixth-wicket stand that took the game away from Pakistan.
England batted on for just four overs on Sunday's fifth and final day, scoring 31 runs for the loss of Bairstow, lbw on review to Sohail Khan.
Ali struck 20 off the first over of the day from leg-spinner Yasir Shah, including two sixes and a four in consecutive balls.
When England captain Alastair Cook declared it left Pakistan needing to set a new ground record if they are to go 2-1 up in the four-match series as the highest fourth-innings score to win a Test at Edgbaston is South Africa's 283 for five in 2008.
Pakistan were left with a minimum of 84 overs to score the runs they needed, a rate of slightly more than four an over.
