The 31-year-old off-spinner took three of the four wickets to fall in the morning session for figures of 7-111 -- his second five wicket haul -- after England had resumed at 239-6 in Multan.

Left-arm spinner Noman Ali was the only other Pakistan wicket-taker, finishing with figures of 3-101.

England added nine runs to their overnight score before Sajid struck in the fourth over of the session, Brydon Carse being caught at long-on for four.

In his next over, Sajid bowled Matthew Potts, who made six, off a sharply turning delivery.

Noman took his 50th Test wicket when he removed Jamie Smith, caught at mid-off by Saim Ayub for 21.

Last pair Shoaib Bashir and Jack Leach hung around to add 29 before Sajid had Bashir caught at short mid-wicket for nine to end the innings.

Leach was 25 not out having hit three fours.

England lead the three-match series 1-0 following their innings and 47 run victory in the first Test, which also took place in Multan.
