I stand corrected.
Cook now has a very good century, Root and Hales equally good half-centuries. 173-1.
Three happy batsmen, and now the bowlers are having fun.
Pakistan sinking like the Titanic.
Hope Stokes recovers for the Third Test. Maybe his injury was behind Cook's decision to bat again? Give him every chance to recover?

The Cookie-Monster obviously judged everything just right!
Isn't Joe Root a glorious batsman?

He has the capacity to play for two days and give no chances. And unlike some, he can play in a Test match, make his hundred, then turn out in a T20, blitz a lightning 50, then turn in a solid innings in a 50-over ODI and back to Test cricket and another hundred.
He's a perfect example of how all the different forms of the game can positively feed off one another. I'm becoming a bit of a groupie, TBH.
OOPS! 8 gone. Michelle better tune up quick ....

All over. Terrific performance, and JR even takes a wicket?
Is there no end to this young man's versatility?

You have to ask?
Joe Root. Spoke very well at the presentation - not just a great batsman, a very decent young guy. I don't like the expression, but a very fine role-model for young cricketers.
I have to say that that was one of the finest innings I've ever seen in Test cricket. They never looked like getting him out - it was only when he started to push on at the end that he was caught out. And then 71 off 48 balls in the second innings. Very impressive.

That's why I love Test cricket.
But I have to say I'm beginning to see the point of T20. Old Tom Lord and WG would have loved it. So much razzamatazz, so many pretty cheerleaders, so many opportunities for corruptive wagering and manipulation of the media.
It's truly Victorian, in every sense of the word ....

Well, he got one. I rather like him - he has a nice style about him. Good day's cricket yesterday and well done Sohail on his five-for.
In another place ... Terrific rearguard action by West Indies in Kingston with Roston Chase the first West Indian to score a century - 137 n.o. - and take five wickets in a Test for the Windies for 50 years.
Some bloke called Sir Garfield St Aubrun Sobers did it 50 years ago almost to the day at Headingley against England. England lost by an innings and 55, which led to accusations in the patriotic (read, racist) press of the day that Wes Hall was 'chucking'.

Pakistan 257-3. A wicket with the 4th ball of the first over, a wicket with the last ball of the day and a run out in between. Attritional viewing today or old school test match cricket? Take your pick.

England bowled badly.
Pakistan batted 'conservatively'. They're now in a position to push on; they should be close to a lead of 300 by close of play today if they bat well and positively.
England need a good-class spinner, and IMO Moeen isn't him.

Petulance and bad sportsmanship? Must have been taking lessons from Dr Grace.
Or Steve Waugh, maybe ....

Fine display of batting by England yesterday, struggling to see past a draw unless the pitch falls to bits.

The pitch seems to be helping the batting side as the match goes on, that could easily change though.
