LIVE Pakistan vs England 2nd Test: Advantage England

On day one, Pakistan had a tiny advantage over England, but day two has been all about them. The 91-run third wicket partnership was broken when Robinson burst through Babar's defences. Following that, Pakistan never recovered and lost their final 8 wickets for 60 runs. Leach was the best bowler and picked up four wickets, but the other bowlers also contributed effectively. In the second innings, England took its time and didn't race to the finish. Brook maintained his excellent form on tour while Duckett reached his second fifty of the contest.
