England v Pakistan: 4th Investec Test - Day Two
Anderson picked up the all-important scalp of David Warner

The post-lunch session was unlike the first session of day 1. England looked more disciplined, tied down Warner's scoring shots and Woakes had the sturdy Bancroft trapped in front. Usman Khawaja also struggled to get the scoreboard ticking as England slowly pushed Warner into a corner.

Though Warner completed his ton, his strike rate of the first session wasn't to be seen. Anderson eventually eked out an edge off the southpaw just before tea. Although the daunting Steven Smith walked out to bat, England did feel they were back in the game. The session cost them a mere 43 runs, and gave them two crucial wickets.
