Collingwood and Bell put England in control

LONDON, July 14 (Reuters) Paul Collingwood completed the highest score by an England batsman against Pakistan at Lord's before he was stumped for 186 in the home team's 528 for nine declared on the second day of the first test today.

Paceman Steve Harmison then took two wickets in four balls with the help of a spectacular catch by Collingwood at third slip to help reduce Pakistan to 66-3 at the close.

Ian Bell also hit a century for England, scoring exactly 100 not out with last man Monty Panesar at the crease.

England's third century-maker Alastair Cook was out earlier in the day after adding only four to his overnight total of 101.

Leg spinner Danish Kaneria was the most successful of the Pakistan bowlers with 3-119 off 52 overs.
