Root shines after Pakistan collapse: 2nd Test, Day 2 (Dubai)

Pakistan collapsed from a strong 278-4 overnight to lose 6-96.

Replying to Pakistan's 378, early wickets hampered England's response until a third-wicket stand of 113 between Alastair Cook and Joe Root (76 not out) restored a balance.

England 182 for 3 (Root 76*, Bairstow 27*) trail Pakistan 378 (Misbah 102, Shafiq 83, Younis 58, Masood 54, Wood 3-39, Moeen 3-108) by 196 runs.
