2nd Test: England v Pakistan at Old Trafford

Very good from Cook and Root. Both have looked in very good nick. England 95/1 at lunch.

50 each for Root and Cook. That's fifty 50's for Cook in Test cricket. England 119/1.

Cook & Root extend partnership past 100. Eng 132-1 off 39

Ton up for Cook. An extremely disciplined innings. Superb stuff. His second fifty has came at a lightning pace, especially for Cooky. These two really building a foundation with a controlled and measured approach. 190/1.

Cook goes on the stroke of Tea. Amir gets one to keep extremely low. A shame. He was playing fantastic. Pakistan needed that wicket as they were looking rather dejected. 210/2.

Well, Pakistan obviously needed a lot more than that one wicket. LOL

That was entertaining. I'd like to see more matches with them because I feel like they could do better and give us a little more run for our money!

Vince gets a life. Edges one to Younis Khan, but dropped. The ball was traveling at pace, but you'd expect him to take them. Really need him to take advantage of that.

Vince responds with two glorious shots off Yasir. He really does play some pretty shots. He just needs to be more disciplined.

Yasir need to bowl Bishoo's Long Hops.

Oh dear, James Vince. Out driving once again. His time in an England shirt may well be running out. 238/3.
