England vs Pakistan: Harry Brook misses out on century as Joe Root, Jordan Cox, and Dan Lawrence impress in dominant batting performance

Harry Brook missed out on a century after notching 91 from 93 balls in a masterful innings that headlined a dominant England batting performance against Pakistan on day two of the first Test at Headingley.

Brook (91 off 93) led the charge and was aided by big scores from Jordan Cox (73), returning captain Joe Root (66), and Dan Lawrence (51) to consolidate what turned into a mammoth 195-run lead for England, as they ended the day on 366-8 in reply to Pakistan's 171.

The struggling visiting attack was only able to bowl 58 overs after a rain-sodden morning delayed all play until 2:45pm.
