Yousuf puts Pakistan in driving seat
Yousuf’s career-best 223 was a triumph of concentration and ‘percentage’ cricket as he minimised risk for much of his innings and launched into all-out attack only in the last stages of his mission to demoralise the tourists.
He, his sixth-wicket partner Kamran Akmal (154) and captain Inzamam-ul-Haq (97) left England’s bowlers with nowhere to hide as they put 636 for eight declared on the board before inviting their opponents to start their second innings a frightening 348 runs adrift.
