Dismal England on the rack

England endured a dismal day as Pakistan took control of the third Test in Dubai thanks largely to a superb unbeaten century by Younus Khan.
Pakistan are now 1.001 to complete a 3-0 series whitewash while England are 1.001 to gain a consolation victory and make it 2-1. The draw is available at 1.001.
It was a tough day. That partnership has really taken the game away from us.

Younus (115 not out) shared an unbroken third-wicket stand of 194 with Azhar Ali (75 not out) and the pair took the hosts to 222-2 at the close, a lead of 180.
Earlier, Andrew Strauss made 56, but England were bowled out for 141, with Abdur Rehman claiming figures of 5-40.
Afterwards Alastair Cook admitted: "It was a tough day. That partnership has really taken the game away from us.
"When they came in they were still behind us. The pitch has obviously changed from yesterday but they played well. I think it's got slower and it made it a hard day for us."
