England took a firm grip on the second Test with a massive first innings lead of 391 runs after Pakistan was bowled out for 198 on Sunday.

Captain Alastair Cook didn't force the follow-on and England extended their lead to 402 before rain suspended play for the second time on the third day. England took early tea at 11/0.

Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul Haq fought a lone battle and top-scored with 52 as Pakistan batting crumbled against a four-man seam attack, led by Chris Woakes' 4/67.

Resuming at 57/4, Pakistan limped to 119/8 by lunch which was extended after rain suspended play for an hour.

Misbah frustrated England by contributing 60 runs for a ninth-wicket stand with Wahab Riaz (39) before off-spinner Moeen Ali wrapped up the innings by dismissing both batsmen.

Earlier, England's fast bowlers exploited overcast conditions as Pakistan limped to 119/8 at lunch.

Captain Misbah stood strong as wickets fell around him in an extended first session with Root grabbing three catches at second slip on Sunday.

Pakistan lost Shan Masood (39) in James Anderson's third over of the morning before rain stopped play for an hour.

On resumption, Stuart Broad had Asad Shafiq caught at point before Sarfraz Ahmed (26) edged to Root off Ben Stokes.
