MULTAN: Openers Mohammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique provided a solid start to the hosts as they stitched a vital 64-run unbeaten partnership in pursuit of a 355-run target in the ongoing second Test.
Pakistan openers Abdullah and Rizwan managed to provide a decent despite the absence of full-time opener Imam-ul-Haq who was taken to a local hospital here for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans as he felt unease in his right hamstring.
Their unbeaten partnership bolstered Pakistan to finish at 64/0 at Lunch on the third day of the ongoing second Test.
The duo appeared solid and scored at a decent rate of more than four runs per over to push English bowlers at the backfoot.
At the time of the lunch break, Abdullah was unbeaten on 34 while Rizwan had made 28 not out.
The interim opening pair will now resume the run chase for Pakistan in the second session of the ongoing third day.
Earlier, England bundled out for 275 in the second innings and managed to set a decent 355-run target for the hosts.
Left-handed batter Harry Brook led the way for the touring side as he brought up his second Test century to power England to set a commendable total for Pakistan.
