Day 1 round up

Joe Root`s unbeaten 141 was the centrepiece of England`s commanding 314 for four on the first day of the second Test against Pakistan at Old Trafford on Friday.

England captain Alastair Cook, who won the toss on a good pitch and in sunny conditions ideal for batting, made 105 and shared a second-wicket stand of 185 with Root.

Having twice got himself out during England`s 75-run defeat by Pakistan in the first of a four-Test series at Lord`s last week, a determined Root did not give a chance in just over six hours at the crease.

Pakistan`s left-arm pace trio of Mohammad Amir, Rahat Ali and Wahab Riaz became increasingly threatening as the skies clouded over late on.

Amir took two for 63 and Rahat two for 69, with both men bowling 20 overs on Friday.

But star leg-spinner Yasir Shah, who took a man-of-the-match winning 10 wickets at Lord`s, returned figures of none for 111 in 31 overs.
