ENGLAND lost control of the series-deciding third Test against Pakistan, with their newfound nemesis Sajid Khan claiming he tricked the tourists with a few well-chosen words of Urdu.

England ended day two in Rawalpindi with pressure piling up, trailing by 53 after losing three second-innings wickets in nine overs before the close.

They had earlier let a promising position slip as centurion Saud Shakeel (134) lifted the hosts from a shaky 177 for seven to 344 all out.
