England's second Test against Pakistan is "50-50", according to assistant coach Marcus Trescothick.

The home side closed day three on 198-4, 157 runs adrift of a victory target of 355 in Multan.

"We're going into tomorrow with two results possible. It's going to be an exciting time," Trescothick told Test Match Special.

"We'll know around lunchtime how close it is going to be. We're very confident of what we're going to achieve."

England took a crucial wicket late on day three, with Jack Leach having Imam-ul-Haq caught at slip for 60.

It ended Imam's fourth-wicket stand of 108 with Saud Shakeel, who remains on 54.

"When you've gone a long period and they've got a partnership together, you just want something to bring the life back up again," said former England opener Trescothick.

"That's important going into the end of the day's play to make it a bit easier tomorrow."
