MANCHESTER: Pakistan lost the second Test against England on Monday, after failing to meet the English target and falling short by 330 run. The third Test would be played at Birmingham’s Edgbaston ground on August 3. Pakistan, facing a mammoth 565 for victory, was bowled out for 234 in their second innings on the fourth day. This was England’s fifth-biggest Test win in terms of runs. But England’s joy in levelling the four-match series at 1-1 was tempered by the sight of all-rounder Ben Stokes going off injured in Monday’s second session. England’s Joe Root, who made the Test-best 254 in the first innings, was named man-of-the-match. Root’s second-innings score of 71 not out, gave him an aggregate tally against Pakistan of 325 runs, following his career-best in the first innings. It was the fifth-highest aggregate by any England’s batsman in a Test. England on Monday set a tall target of 565 runs for Pakistan, after Alastair Cook declared the second innings at 173 for 1 on day four of the second Test at Old Trafford. It was the second time, in this match, that England enjoyed Pakistan’s attack, with opener Cook making 105 and Root a Test-best 254, in England’s first-innings 589 for eight declared. The second innings saw England’s two most experienced batsmen put on 105 in 85 balls for the second wicket, with the duo’s partnership adding 75 runs in just nine overs before Cook declared. Pakistan needs to rewrite the record books for a win — the most any side have made in the fourth innings to win a Test is the West Indies’ 418 for seven against Australia at St John’s in May 2003. Cook came under severe criticism on Sunday for not enforcing the follow-on on the opposing team, despite the 391-run lead. English Coach Paul Farbrace defended Cook’s decision by terming it as a move to make the most of the placid wicket. In reply of hosts’ 589, Pakistan’s batting line-up crumbled at 198, while 565 is the second biggest target Pakistan has faced, after the chasing 573 of West Indies at Bridgetown in 2005. Pakistan led the four-match series 1-0 after their 75-run win in the first Test at Lord’s.
