It went from bad to worse and from sad to sadder for Pakistan in the first Test against England and the abjectness of their surrender is cause for concern, writes @alanroderick.
Great player to watch but he knows he left a hundred out there (as did three of his team-mates yesterday)
✍️ As the saying doesn't quite go: strong Welsh Fire, strong England. That may or may not have been the murmuring on the concourses here at Headingley, writes @alanroderick

Hundred stand for the second wicket between Joe Root and Jordan Cox at Headingley
Strong Welsh Fire, strong England
Abdullah Shafique notches fifty at Headingley. His run of Test scores currently reads 160*, 24* and 51* - in fact, he hasn't been dismissed in a Test since 2025
(Admittedly that's because he was out of the Pakistan side for almost a year, but still...) #EngvsPak

Like Andrew Flintoff in 2009, towards the end of his career, Ben Stokes was an imposing presence in the dressing room but perhaps not an empathetic one
He was always the man to rely on in the biggest moments, but in the end, it finished in disillusionment

Jacob Bethell is set to open the batting in England's ODI series against India this month
He's opened previously in 50-over cricket for England's Under-19s and Lions and this promotion could foreshadow a similar move in Test cricket in future
