Match scorecard

Trott and Cook shared their sixth century stand before Pakistan fought back

A late Pakistan revival undid the good work of England's Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott on day two of the second Test in Abu Dhabi.

The pair shared a second-wicket stand of 139 after Andrew Strauss managed only 11.
But after Trott (74) fell to Abdur Rehman, Saeed Ajmal accounted for Cook (94), Kevin Pietersen and Eoin Morgan to leave England 207-5, 50 behind.
Earlier, Pakistan lost their last three wickets for one run in 16 balls.
