Might seem a lost cause but the longer Pak keep Eng in the field, the more tired the attack post the follow-on. So important to stay in

Misbah gets a top edge sweeping Moeen and Cook takes a simple chance. 179/9.
Re: 2nd Test: England v Pakistan at Old Trafford - chairman - 07-24-2016
england will bat.
why why why
Re: 2nd Test: England v Pakistan at Old Trafford - dillinger10 - 07-24-2016
Wahab out for 39. Pakistan 198 all out. Cook opts not to enforce the follow on and instead chooses to bat again. ::confused::

Incredibly curious decision by Cook here. I know that he opted not to enforce the follow on twice during the Sri Lanka series, but this one makes absolutely no sense to me. Broad and Anderson were rested. Rain is in the forecast for the next two days. Pakistan are 391 behind. I can't see them batting out two and a half days. There is almost no upside to England batting again. Hope he doesn't live to regret this decision.

391 is the fifth biggest first innings lead in the history of the game without enforcing the follow-on. The record is 563.

England take the lead past 400, but there's a rain delay now

Re: 2nd Test: England v Pakistan at Old Trafford - chairman - 07-24-2016

he is down 1-0

Hales, a limited overs dasher, poodling along. Not really sure what the plan is right now. Surely England should be looking at caning the ball around. Instead they are just noodling and nurdling the ball. The more overs they bat, they less they have to bowl Pakistan out. England lead by 420.
