Pakistan set 565 to win second Test against England


MANCHESTER (UNITED KINGDOM) - Pakistan were set a mammoth target of 565 to win the second Test after England declared their second innings on 173 for one on Monday's fourth day at Old Trafford. Pakistan lead the four-match series 1-0 after their 75-run win in the first Test at Lord's. England's Joe Root bats on the fourth day of the second Test against Pakistan at Old Trafford on July 25, 2016Alastair Cook, the England captain, was 76 not out, and vice-captain Joe Root 71 not out. The second innings saw England's two most experienced batsmen put on 105 in 85 balls for the second wicket, with the duo adding 75 runs in just nine overs on Monday before Cook declared. Pakistan will now need to rewrite the record books if they are to achieve a remarkable win -- the most any side have made in the fourth innings to win a Test is the West Indies' 418 for seven against Australia at St John's in May 2003.
