From the BBC:
Play was suspended for around 10 minutes in the final session of day two of the Faisalabad Test following an incident behind an advertising board.
It appeared there had been an electrical fault or a gas canister exploding close to the boundary edge.
Marcus Trescothick and Ian Bell were batting but ran back to the sanctuary of the pavilion with England 92-2 in reply to Pakistan's 462.
When play resumed, Trescothick survived a Danish Kaneria appeal for a catch.
