Pakistan Hit Back Against England After Cox and Root Fifties
Joe Root and Jordan Cox shared a 150-run partnership as England turned a rain-hit day into a 68-run first-innings advantage.
- On Thursday, England reached tea at 239/4 at Headingley, extending their lead over Pakistan to 68 runs. Harry Brook and Dan Lawrence remained unbeaten at the crease.
- Jordan Cox and captain Joe Root shared a 150-run third-wicket partnership, both striking fifties to push England into the lead on day two. Rain had delayed the morning session.
- Pakistan's bowlers fought back before tea when slow left-armer Ali Usman dismissed Cox caught behind, and Khurram Shahzad trapped Root lbw four balls later. These quick dismissals disrupted England's momentum.
- Earlier, England's pacemen Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue each claimed five wickets to bowl out Pakistan for 171 on Wednesday. Their dominant performance set the stage for England's commanding position.
- Stand-In captain Salman Ali Agha left the field for treatment on his finger after dropping a catch at second slip. Pakistan faces mounting challenges as they trail in the first Test.
