The style of Pakistan cricket epitomized today. They either blow hot or cold with nothing in between! Lords & Manchester Contrasting!

Behold Chris Woakes: cricket's greatest all-rounder. ::love::
Angry Ben Stokes is the best Ben Stokes.
Wished England had declared earlier and had a few more overs at the close of play. Woakes and Stokes bowling in tandem were menacing and had Pakistan reeling.
Still, great to see a spirited fightback and performance from England after the loss at Lords.

Pakistan are particularly dangerous now because they have points to prove.
1. Misbah wants to prove that he's not an old man.
2. Khan want's to be the first Pakistani to 10,000 runs.
3. Pakistan wants to prove that they can win outside of UAE.
4. Amir wants to make up for his transgressions.

Looks like Stokes and Anderson are making the difference.
England goes from a very good team to a great team with those two on the side.

After the heady win at Lord's, Pak being cut down to size by a reinforced, classy England attack

Brilliant from England this morning though aided by some rather ordinary batting from Pakistan. Hopefully we have seen the last of the rain.

42 year old Misbah-ul-Haq has now top-scored for Pakistan for the 2nd time in three innings this series!
Re: 2nd Test: England v Pakistan at Old Trafford - dillinger10 - 07-24-2016
Wahab showing up the top order. 50 for Misbah. This partnership continuing to grow and frustrate England.
