But Jos Buttler (75) and Chris Woakes (84 not out) took the game away from Pakistan.
MANCHESTER - England’s dramatic three-wicket win over Pakistan in the first Test at Old Trafford was a brilliant advertisement for the red-ball game.
Below AFP Sport looks at three things we learned from an enthralling first chapter of a three-match series:Although he recently reached the landmark of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in fewer Tests than West Indies hero Garfield Sobers, arguably cricket’s greatest all-rounder, or England colleague Ben Stokes and has a better bowling average in England than either James Anderson or Stuart Broad, there has been a tendency to regard Chris Woakes as a ‘nearly man’.
The astute Warwickshire all-rounder wanted to make sure the second new ball did not become a factor so went on the attack and countered the short ball by making room to hit through the off-side.And when Buttler was out, Woakes finished the job."He’s someone you can always trust to deliver exactly what you want."This match saw Buttler make a case for both why he should be in and out of the England Test side.
