Younis, Azhar thwart England

February 04, 2012 11:40 pm | Updated 11:40 pm IST - Dubai:

Experienced batsman Younis Khan proved his class with a superb hundred to put Pakistan in a good position on the second day of the third and final Test against England here on Saturday.

The 34-year-old right-hander scored an unbeaten 115 to repair the Pakistan innings after early wobbles with Azhar Ali (75 not out) through an unbroken third-wicket stand of 194 to take their team to 222 for two at close.

Pakistan, which conceded a 42-run lead in the first innings after England made 141, now leads by 180 runs with eight wickets intact.

Earlier Abdul Rehman took five for 40.
