England will take an unassailable 2-1 lead to The Oval for next week's final Investec Test after wrapping up a 141-run victory over Pakistan at Edgbaston.
Hometown hero Chris Woakes and Steven Finn provided the telling surge, with four wickets for one run between them just before tea, as England bowled the tourists out for 201.
They were completing an improbable fightback, having conceded a 103-run first-innings deficit, and did so ultimately with 13.1 overs to spare - despite the determination of young opener Sami Aslam (70) and then the late sting of an improbable 50 stand between numbers 10 and 11 Sohail Khan and Rahat Ali.

This is sloggery of the highest order. The very highest. The Victoria Cross of sloggery. Sohail 25*. It has to end soon, though. Doesn't it?
And here is the end of Shafiq's innings
He's gone. After looking the best batsman on either side at Lord's, Shafiq is having a horrible end to the series. Pak 125/5.
A pair for Shafiq? He's given out lbw to Woakes, and reviews. This looks good though.
Here's that Finn wicket. England have six more to take.
WICKET - Misbah gone and England are right in the hunt now. A bit like YK, Misbah pushes at one and is caught behind off Finn. It's Finn's first wicket of the series. More importantly, it's 126/4 with min. 37 overs left.
No, he wasn't.
We have a review here. Azhar, on 36, stumped?
