2nd Test: England v Pakistan at Old Trafford

Root brings up his double century with a beautifully timed reverse sweep. Brilliant innings. England 471/5.

stokes out. the ump took much too long.

The mark was on his gloves prior to the ball even coming close to his gloves. How can he give that out? Joel Wilson is the worst umpire in the game today by a wide margin. How on earth he can overturn the on field not out call is beyond me. Embarrassing. 471/6.

Joel Wilson was also the third umpire that controversially gave Ben Stokes out handled the ball against Australia last year.

Favourite comment seen on social media:

"I am going to conclusively say........wait a minute....I am not sure....do I....actually yes, that Joel Wilson hasn't got a clue."

For those that didn't see it, you can see the mark on his gloves prior to the ball ever reaching his gloves at the link below.

Joel Wilson is a terrible umpire

DROPPED! Bairstow lucky! Sarfraz Ahmed simple as a dolly

500 for England! Root 209*, Bairstow 18* ENG 500/6

My guess is these two will look to get the score to 550 as quickly as possible and then declare at tea.

AND the DECLARATION

589 - 9

Bairstow 58, Root 254

16 without loss after 10 overs

Hafeez 12*

28 - 1

12.6
Woakes to Hafeez, there's the breakthrough, Woakes in his first over!

Bat hanging away from the body, Root snaffles the chance at second slip .
