In the end the Pakistanis with 216 for six finished seven runs in front with four wickets left. Final scores were: England 428 for five declared; Pakistan 219 and 216 for six.

Any slender hope England held of another victory went late in the day when, with Trueman having taken the new ball, two catches were dropped in the same over.

Cyril Poole, a grandfather, still fielding as deputy for Graveney, missed Mushtaq (80) at long leg and Titmus at first slip failed to hold a snick before the left hand Shahid had scored.

Mushtaq, who made exactly 100 not out, resisted England’s seven-man attack throughout the final day’s play to become the first player in history to score two Test hundreds before reaching the age of 20.

His first century came against India in 1961 when he was 18.

To this determined young man Pakistan must give thanks for their draw. But had not rain washed out more than ten hours, including the whole of the first day, England almost certainly would have gained their fourth successive victory….—Agencies

Little boy outwits bear WHEN a big black bear chased eight-year-old Karim in Karachi on Friday he knew this time it was no dream.

He was also conscious of the shrieks of his friends above the cage. With remarkable nerves the little boy dodged the huge bear, running from corner to comer for full 10 minutes.

An iron rod thrust from above kept the bear at bay while one man lifted the boy out of the cage.—Agencies
