England struggle in afternoon session against Pakistan

:Headline: England struggle in afternoon session against Pakistan: ID:15710: from db_amp
England look set to fall at the final hurdle after losing early wickets in Dubai and sitting on 173-6 at tea with a target of 324 to win.

England are on the brink of a series whitewash against Pakistan after losing early wickets in Dubai in the third and final Test match.

Pressure is on Matt Prior and Stuart Broad to help the visitors reach an unlikely target of 324 after finishing on 173-6 at tea on day four.

England captain Andrew Strauss fell after just 26 runs this morning, but the world's best Test side were lucky not to experience a tumble in wickets in the early session after Pakistan dropped two catches.

Jonathan Trott and Kevin Pietersen failed to make an impact at the crease, but the hammer blow came when star batsman Alastair Cook was caught out after just 49 runs.

Cook's dismissal instigated a calamity at the crease with Ian Bell and Eoin Morgan following the 27-year-old shortly after.

England have 151 runs to make in order to win the third Test.
