Bowling unchanged through the morning session, Yasir Shah produced a legspin masterclass on a flat, slow fifth-day pitch to move Pakistan three steps closer to a 2-0 series lead. There was no alarming turn available to Yasir, and hardly any instances of uncertain bounce; he had to draw on all his stamina, skill and intelligence to pick up his eighth five-wicket haul in 18 Test matches.
