the second, escaping the jam by fanning Ryan Flaherty.

Joe Roots career-best 254 and three late wickets for Chris Woakes put Pakistan firmly on the rack on day two of the second Test at Old Trafford. Root nailed a reverse sweep for four off Yasir Shah midway through the afternoon session to reach his second double-century in 44 Tests before powering on to propel England to 589-9 declared.By stumps Pakistan, 1-0 up in the series, had faltered to 57-4 as Woakes (3-18) found the edge of Mohammad Hafeezs bat - Root claiming his 50th Test catch - before snaffling a one-handed return catch to despatch Azhar Ali. Worse followed for the tourists as Younus Khan tickled Ben Stokes down the leg-side, Jonny Bairstow taking the catch, before nightwatchman Rahat Ali fended Woakes off to short leg. Watch a pick of the action from the second day of the second Test But for Woakes all-round exploits this was Roots day. His 406-ball knock, which featured 27 fours, surpassed his previous personal best of 200 not out, made against Sri Lanka at Lords in 2014, and is the third highest score for England against Pakistan, behind Denis Comptons 278 at Trent Bridge in 1954 and Alastair Cooks 263 in Abu Dhabi last winter.The 25-year-old is only the sixth batsman in 132 years to score a Test double century at Old Trafford and the first Englishman to do so since Ken Barrington in 1964.In all he shared three century partnerships - with Alastair Cook (185 stand), Woakes (103) and Bairstow (106) while Yasir, the worlds top-ranked Test bowler, finished with 1-213 from 54 overs.Woakes, who began the day on two not out in Englands 314-4, shrugged off an early blow on the forearm from Rahat to contribute 58 off 104 balls.The all-rounder proved a nightwatchman in name only as he drove with authority before upper-cutting Mohammad Amir over third man for his maiden six in Test cricket.Root enjoyed a life on 155 when Younus Khan failed to grasp a low edge of Yasir and Pakistans problems mounted when Amir was forced from the field with a leg injury.Just when it seemed the tourists would endure a wicket-less session, Woakes prodded a return catch to Yasir - the leg-spinner picking up his first wicket in his 39th over. Watch as Joe Root scores his second Test match double century against Pakistan at Old Trafford Stokes received a rousing welcome to the crease on his return to the side and enjoyed a slice of fortune when he top-edged an attempted sweep off Yasir on 25, the ball falling safely.But that luck ran out just nine runs later when Pakistan successfully reviewed a not out appeal for a catch down the leg-side, replays showing Stokes had gloved an attempted pull off Wahab Riaz (3-106).Bairstow also enjoyed a life on nine when Sarfaz Ahmed knocked a snick behind up in the air only to shell the chance after juggling the ball, much to Yasirs annoyance.The Yorkshireman made his fellow wicketkeeper pay with another energetic innings, his fifty coming up in decent time off 74 balls thanks to six boundaries.The declaration did not come when Root skied a catch to the diving Hafeez, Cook choosing to delay until the 153rd over of the innings when Bairstow miscued Wahab to mid-off - England closing on their second-highest total against Pakistan, behind the 598-9 declared made at Abu Dhabi in 2015.James Anderson, restored to Englands line-up after being overlooked for the defeat at Lords despite his desire to play, almost struck fourth ball but just failed to grab a dipping return catch offered by Shan Masood (30no).Instead it was Woakes, fresh from his maiden 10-wicket haul at the Home of Cricket, who made the first breakthrough on the stroke of drinks by finding Hafeezs edge with his sixth ball.The all-rounder improved his figures to 2-14 in his fourth over, leaping to grab a looping return catch one-handed as Azhar mis-hit a push to leg.With two drops to his name in the Test so far, Younus owed his side runs but couldnt deliver as he ran the ball off the face to Bairstow and once nightwatchman Rahat went, it fell to Misbah-ul-Haq (one not out) and Masood to see out the day.Watch highlights of day two on Sky Sports 1 from 8pm - then stay tuned for The Verdict on the same channel at 9pm.

The Toronto Argonauts (11-7) look for an opportunity to repeat as CFL champions when they host the surging Hamilton Tiger-Cats (10-8) on Sunday.ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Thanks in part to pinch-hitter Jerry Sands, the Tampa Bay Rays are feeling a little better about themselves. The reserve utility man came off the bench to provide the game-winning hit for the second straight game, delivering a two-run homer that helped the Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-4 on Monday night. Sands first homer since Sept. 20, 2011, when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers, came off Brian Matusz and snapped a 3-3 tie. Yunel Escobar hit a solo homer in the first and Ryan Hanigan added a two-run drive in the fourth for a 3-0 lead against Orioles starter Wei-Yin Chen. "Its big," Sands after the Rays won for the fourth time in five games following a stretch in which they dropped 14 of 15 and fell to last place in the AL East with the worst record in the majors. "Obviously this team has been struggling to get some wins lately, so its fun to be the guy that does it for the team." Adam Jones homered for the second straight day for Baltimore, hitting a two-run shot in the sixth off rookie Jake Odorizzi, who allowed two runs and three hits over 5 1-3 innings. Delmon Young had a pinch-hit homer in the ninth off Juan Carlos Oviedo, who got the last three outs for his first save. Sands, who broke three bats while singling in the eighth inning to drive home the winning run in a victory at Houston on Sunday, went deep on a 2-0 pitch after Matusz replaced Darren ODay (2-1), who departed with a runner on and two outs. The 26-year-old, who has five career homers, was 1 for 9 as a pinch-hitter with Tampa Bay before the past two at-bats. "This guys done a nice job off the bench," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "I know hes going to be aggressive ... and I know hes not going to be intimidated by the situation." The Orioles had just tied it in the top of the eighth with a run charged to Grant Balfour, loading the bases with two singles and a walk before Nelson Cruz delivered an RBI infield single. Baltimore nearly took the lead when pinch-hitter Steve Pearce lined a pitch down the left field line, but the ball landed foul. Two pitches later, he grounded into a force play, letting Jake McGee (3-0) off the hook. "Its such a fine line. Stevies ball barely misses the chalk line there," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.dddddddddddd "Of course McGee is one the better relief pitchers in the league. Our guys have been doing a good job out the pen, too. Its frustrating." The Orioles announced before the game that two-time All-Star catcher Matt Wieters, who hasnt played since May 10, will have season-ending surgery on his right elbow. Showalter said the team is hopeful Wieters, who was examined Monday by Dr. James Andrews, will be ready for opening day next year. The Rays nearly wasted the second straight solid start for Odorizzi, who held St. Louis hitless until two outs of the fifth inning of a 1-0 loss last Tuesday. Matt Holliday homered for the only run of the game, Tampa Bays third consecutive shutout loss during a stretch in which they went 31 straight innings without scoring. Since ending the streak, the Rays have scored 24 runs in five games. "We won a really tough game (Sunday), we won a really tough game here tonight," Madden said. "When you start believing youre going to win games late, thats a good feeling to get. Thats when you start getting good again, and we did." Odorizzi allowed Hardys single and a walk with two outs in the second, escaping the jam by fanning Ryan Flaherty. The 24-year-old right-hander retired eight straight after walking Nick Markakis in the third, with the Orioles right fielder interrupting the string with a double leading off the sixth. Jones hit his 12th homer one out later, ending Odorizzis night and trimming Baltimores deficit to 3-2. NOTES: A moment of silence was observed before the game in honour of Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, who died Monday. ... The Orioles plan to activate RHP Miguel Gonzalez (strained right oblique) from the 15-day DL to start Tuesday nights game against Tampa Bay LHP Erik Bedard. Both are 3-4 this season. ... Showalter agrees with Maddon that a team shouldnt lose a replay challenge when the contested call stands instead of being confirmed. "A great idea," Showalter said. "Hes right. A lot of times they just say theres nothing conclusive. You may be right, but we cant overturn it. So, why should you be penalized for that?" ... Rays RHP Jeremy Hellickson (right elbow surgery) is scheduled to make his third minor league rehab start Tuesday, when Triple-A Durham visits Louisville. ' ' '
