Watch a pick of the action from the first day Cook cashed in after winning the toss, striking 15 fours in his 11th century as England captain - equalling the record set by Essex mentor Graham Gooch.He cut with authority after snicking Mohammad Amirs sixth ball of the day through the vacant fourth slip area, a rare moment of fortune in a 172-ball innings of otherwise sound judgement.Fellow opener Alex Hales (10) also enjoyed a slice of luck off the same bowler when his edge burst Asad Shafiqs hands at gully - but Amir swiftly gained his revenge. The seamer set Hales up with a series of outswingers before bowling the right-hander through the gate with one that came back to knock over his off-stump.Root was quickly into his stride, unfurling a straight drive off Rahat Ali (2-69) for four, before going back in his crease to sting Pakistans attack with a series of back-foot drives.Unlike at Lords, where Root and Cook were separated soon after posting their 100-stand in the first innings, the pair pressed on in the afternoon session to give England a decent foothold.

A compilation of Roots 10th Test century Yasir suffered the ignominy of conceding 100 runs in his 25th over as Ballance drove the number one bowler in the world for four in glorious fashion.Ballance (23) combined with Yorkshire team-mate Root to add 73 before inside-edging Rahat into his stumps while attempting to run a short ball down to third man.There was to be no further loss as Woakes, promoted up the order ahead of Ben Stokes - like James Anderson, restored to the Test side after missing the first Test defeat - helped cement Englands position.Watch highlights of day one at 10pm on Sky Sports 2, then stay tuned for the Verdict at 11pm.
