Zulqarnain Haider (33) and Mohammad Aamer (14) were undefeated, while Graeme Swann, with figures of 4-23, took the only wicket of the afternoon session after Pakistan resumed on 94-5 after lunch.
Pakistan still needs another 29 to make England bat again.
The tourists began the day on 19-1, needing another 161 runs to avoid an innings defeat but it was a difficult start to the session for England's Stuart Broad, who celebrated as if he'd taken Azhar Ali's wicket in his first over.
Without appealing to the umpire Broad high-fived his teammates, but England didn't ask for a review when Ali was subsequently given not out. Replays showed the ball had clearly missed Ali's bat.
Imran Farhat was dropped by Paul Collingwood at third slip off a ball from James Anderson and then hit on the helmet by a delivery from Broad.
Pakistan resisted for 54 minutes but the breakthrough came when Swann, who hadn't bowled in the first innings, replaced Anderson for the 30th over.
Swann's third ball turned sharply to bowl Farhat for 29 and in his next over the spinner bowled Ali for 19.
Shoaib Malik didn't ask for a review when he was given out for 3, caught behind to Finn off his glove in the 39th over, even though replays proved inconclusive.
In the next over Umar Akmal was lbw to Swann for 20, this time after an unsuccessful review. Haider, who was out first ball in the first innings, was given out lbw to the next ball, but this time the review showed Swann's delivery was missing leg stump.
Umar Amin (14) was out in the third over of the afternoon session, stumped by Matt Prior off Swann after an umpire review.
Swann bowled 11 consecutive maidens and 67 dot balls in a row, but Haider and Aamer showed admirable resistance.
Aamer took 24 balls to get off the mark and was on 1 when Swann found his edge in the 56th over, only for the ball to fly off the tip of Prior's glove before Collingwood dropped his second catch of the innings.
Haider advanced to 18 in the 61st over when he was given not out caught behind to Broad, prompting England to waste its final review.
England's frustration grew and, in the 63rd over, Broad appeared to hurl the ball at Haider, hitting him in the midriff.
That prompted both the umpires to warn England captain Andrew Strauss about Broad's conduct and in the next over a poor throw from Broad cost England the chance of a run out.
Alastair Cook dropped a difficult chance from Aamer off Collingwood in the 71st over and the next ball found Aamer's edge and flew through the slips, leaving Pakistan 29 runs behind at tea.
