England vs Pakistan, LIVE cricket: Latest updates and scorecard from second Test, day one at Headingley
- England take early wickets of Imam-ul-Haq and Azhar Ali after Pakistan bat
- Stuart Broad takes both wickets, taking advantage of swing and movement
- Ben Stokes out with a hamstring injury; Sam Curran and Chris Woakes come in
England’s must-win Test match against Pakistan begins at Headingley on Friday with pressure building on Joe Root and coach Trevor Bayliss.
Victory in Yorkshire is imperative; failure to do so would consign England to their third straight series defeat. For Root, he has lost eight of his 15 Tests since taking over captain.
‘Ultimately we have to play better.’ Root said on the eve of the second Test.
‘We’ve changed our approach to practice, and we’ve got a clear idea of how we’re going to get better.’
Pakistan defeated England by nine wickets in the first Test at Lord’s. It was the first time England have lost the opening Test of a home summer in 23 years.
And for the tourists, series victory would be their first in England since 1996.
