Meanwhile, England are seventh and have had five results go their way from 14 matches in this WTC cycle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ali was among the wicket-takers for Pakistan in the second innings as he notched a brace, including the wicket of England captain Joe Root. He also snapped three dismissals in the first innings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>England lost four wickets on Day 3 as rain cut short the action in London, with only 24.5 overs bowled. However, the hosts have built on the sizeable first-innings lead of 180 runs, adding another 177 in the second, with three more wickets in hand.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The deficit from the first innings was too deep anyway. When you&#8217;re so far behind, all you can do is get opposition wickets as quickly as possible,\u201d Ali believes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we bowled better here than in the first innings. In better areas and with more consistency.
