The visiting side still trail by 532 runs as they laboured to an unimpressive 57-4, with England’s bowlers… An insatiable Joe Root led England’s charge for a series-levelling victory in the second Investec Test match at Old Trafford with a near-flawless innings of 254, before Chris Woakes took three late wickets to put Pakistan on the ropes. Alastair Cook declared the innings closed at 589 for eight shortly after Root, who posted the highest score by an England number three for 59 years, had fallen to a Wahab Riaz leg-cutter, leaving Pakistan an awkward 24 overs to survive before stumps.
