Seamer Chris Woakes admits England need quick wickets on the fourth morning and then positivity in chasing down their victory target to win the first test against Pakistan at Old Trafford.

The visitors are ahead in the game with an overall lead of 244 having gone to stumps on 137 for eight in their second innings, a score that illustrates the wearing nature of a wicket on which England will have to bat last."When you lose the toss on a surface like this you are always going to be up against it, especially if there is a first innings deficit," Woakes told reporters at the close of the third day.

Only once before have more runs been successfully chased in 81 previous tests at Old Trafford, when England managed 294 for four against New Zealand in 2008.
