Pakistan debutant Razaullah produced a thrilling 81 from 63 balls, including nine sixes, to help Pakistan reach 449 and set England a target of 130 at Edgbaston. His ninth-wicket stand of 121 with Muhammad Abbas frustrated England.

Earlier, Shan Masood made 95 and Babar Azam 76, while Azan Awais scored 59. England's bowlers struggled as Razaullah attacked, but he was eventually stumped off Dan Lawrence.

England need 130 to win the third Test. Pakistan, who were bowled out for 133 in the first innings, showed remarkable resistance. The chase could be tricky on a wearing pitch.

Razaullah's nine sixes tied Ben Stokes' record for most maximums in a Test innings in England. England will resume on Saturday, hoping to seal victory.
