Second Test in the balance after Pakistan fightback

Pakistan are 6-5 with Hills to win the second Test after a late fightback at the end of day two in Abu Dhabi left England on 207-5. 

Pakistan off-spinner Saeed Ajmal took three late wickets to put his side back into contention after a second-wicket partnership of 139 between Alastair Cook(94) and Jonathan Trott (74) had put England in control in response to Pakistan's 257 all out.

England batsman Kevin Pietersen again struggled against spin and was caught out for 14 after an inside edge looped upto Mohammad Hafeez at slip.  

“England have shown why they are ranked No. 1 but they remain fragile and it may be time to give up on KP,” said Hills spokesman Rupert Adams.
