Cricket second test: Root and Bairstow impress
AFTER the disappointment of Friday’s washout, Headingley was yesterday resplendent in sunshine throughout an engaging day’s cricket.
England captain Alastair Cook won the toss and elected to bat without hesitation. It proved successful, at least until the second new ball, but any score around 300 was going to be good as the ball moved around all day.
In the end 337 for seven represented a fine day’s work for England, enhanced by a brisk late 38 from Matt Prior, accompanied by 21 from Graeme Swann.
