2nd Test: England thrash Pakistan by 330 runs to level series


The first innings also saw England captain Alastair Cook make 105 - his 29th Test hundred. Cook and Root then plundered a further 75 runs in just nine overs before the declaration.Leg-spinner Shah, the world's number one ranked Test, took 10 wickets at Lord's.But at Old Trafford he returned expensive figures of one for 266. Two balls later Ali bowled a no-ball full toss that sailed above Hafeez's head. He, however, regained his composure to dismiss both Hafeez (42) and Younis Khan (28).Hafeez gave a simple bat/pad catch to Gary Ballance at short leg. Yasir Shah (10), missing with a careless pull, was plumb lbw to Ali.Root took England to the brink of victory when the part-time off-spinner struck second ball to have Wahab Riaz caught off a top-edged sweep by Cook.
