London: Younus Khan hit a magnificent 218 before Pakistan reduced England to 88-4 to assume firm control of the final Test of the summer at The Oval.
Yasir Shah claimed three wickets in five overs as England, faced with a first-innings deficit of 214, collapsed on the third evening to trail by 126.
Younus' sixth Test double hundred underpinned Pakistan's total of 542.
Sarfraz Ahmed made 44 and number 10 Mohammad Amir an unbeaten 39, adding 97 for the ninth wicket with Younus.
Yasir's return to form was timely. Having claimed 10-141 at Lord's but taken only four wickets at an average of 126 in the next two Tests, the leg-spinner wrecked the England top order to such an extent that an innings victory is not unrealistic.
After Wahab Riaz squared Alastair Cook to have him well taken at first slip, Yasir removed Alex Hales, James Vince and Joe Root in a spell of 3-4 in 22 deliveries.
Hales was lbw pushing forward to one that drifted in to clip his front pad, and Vince drove his third ball straight to short cover to end a series in which he has managed only 158 runs at 23.
Victory would earn Pakistan a 2-2 series draw and maintain their hopes of moving to the top of the International Cricket Council Test rankings.
