In his next over, Sajid bowled Matthew Potts, who made six, off a sharply turning delivery.
Noman took his 50th test wicket when he removed Jamie Smith, caught at mid-off by Saim Ayub for 21.
Last pair Shoaib Bashir and Jack Leach hung around to add 29 before Sajid had Bashir caught at short mid-wicket for nine to end the innings.
Leach was 25 not out having hit three fours.
