"I feel like if we'd taken a couple more chances and been a bit more ruthless with the ball, we could have bowled Pakistan out a bit cheaper," Broad told the BBC. "We've controlled the rate really nicely, we just need to make sure we get this wicket early tomorrow to make sure we don't undo a lot of the hard work we've done.

"We're actually a little bit disappointed that we haven't bowled Pakistan out already - we've created enough chances, and the ball has certainly done enough, but we haven't managed to hold onto those chances or strike when we needed to as a bowling attack."

"[The ball] has done a little bit too much"

But the bowler still maintains that England are in a good position.

"It has been frustrating for us - it feels like we've been in the field for a long time," he said. "But after losing the toss and getting Pakistan 200-odd for 9, we're in a decent position. When we get the next wicket, it's important we focus, and try to go past Pakistan's score to put ourselves in a winning position.

"[The ball] has done a little bit too much. We've beaten the bat a lot more than catch the edge, and a couple of the edges have gone down as well. It'll be important for us to get first-innings runs, because the pitch has a bit of dryness to it, so it will continue to seam off that dryness and potentially spin later in the game.

"We need to get this wicket as soon as possible, and we need the weather to improve. It's probably a result pitch - there's enough time left in the game for a result, but for that result to go our way, we'll have to get big first-innings runs tomorrow."
