Cook (105) marked his 50th Test as England skipper by hitting the 29th Test ton of his stellar career, matching Don Bradmans tally in the process.Meanwhile, Root struck his 10th hundred - and first at number three - before closing Fridays play on 141 not out, with Chris Woakes at the other end 2no.England - 1-0 down in the series after their 75-run defeat at Lords - have never lost a Test when Root has scored a century. Watch a pick of the action from the first day Cook cashed in after winning the toss, striking 15 fours in his 11th century as England captain - equalling the record set by Essex mentor Graham Gooch.He cut with authority after snicking Mohammad Amirs sixth ball of the day through the vacant fourth slip area, a rare moment of fortune in a 172-ball innings of otherwise sound judgement.Fellow opener Alex Hales (10) also enjoyed a slice of luck off the same bowler when his edge burst Asad Shafiqs hands at gully - but Amir swiftly gained his revenge. The seamer set Hales up with a series of outswingers before bowling the right-hander through the gate with one that came back to knock over his off-stump.Root was quickly into his stride, unfurling a straight drive off Rahat Ali (2-69) for four, before going back in his crease to sting Pakistans attack with a series of back-foot drives.Unlike at Lords, where Root and Cook were separated soon after posting their 100-stand in the first innings, the pair pressed on in the afternoon session to give England a decent foothold. A compilation of Cooks 29th Test century Cook was the first to three figures, off 157 balls, clipping Amir for a couple before punching the air to mark the milestone; it was his first century since the epic 263 scored against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi some 20 innings ago.But just when it appeared Pakistan would endure a wicket-less session, Cook was cleaned out in the final over before tea by an Amir delivery that kept a little low - a surprise dismissal on a dry pitch of otherwise true in bounce.Amir should have had a third wicket shortly after the interval when James Vince, on six, drove outside off-stump only for Younus Khan at second slip to shell the chest-high chance - remarkably the fourth drop off Amir in this series already.Vince (18) answered with back and front foot drives for four off Yasir but fell searching outside off-stump for his fifth, edging behind to limit his return to 130 runs from six innings at 18.57.Root registered his maiden Test hundred against Pakistan and first at Old Trafford off 167 balls in the very next over, picking Yasir off for four through mid-wicket - his 14th boundary. A compilation of Roots 10th Test century Yasir suffered the ignominy of conceding 100 runs in his 25th over as Ballance drove the number one bowler in the world for four in glorious fashion.Ballance (23) combined with Yorkshire team-mate Root to add 73 before inside-edging Rahat into his stumps while attempting to run a short ball down to third man.There was to be no further loss as Woakes, promoted up the order ahead of Ben Stokes - like James Anderson, restored to the Test side after missing the first Test defeat - helped cement Englands position.Watch highlights of day one at 10pm on Sky Sports 2, then stay tuned for the Verdict at 11pm.

Its amazing when a guy gets those few precious days to recover what it does to the bounce in their step and overall game/confidence. CALGARY -- A preoccupied Canadian womens hockey team fell 5-1 to the United States on Thursday as the Canadians tried to come to grips with the sudden resignation of their head coach. Canada wasnt in the game from the outset. Head coach Dan Church left Calgary in the morning without addressing the players. He told The Canadian Press he felt the organization lacked confidence in his ability to defend the Olympic gold medal in February. Assistant coaches Danielle Goyette and Lisa Haley are co-coaching the team until Churchs replacement is named. The loss snapped Canadas three-game winning streak against the Americans since losing to the them in this years final at the world championship in April. Canada mustered just 10 shots on U.S. goalie Jessie Vetter in the first two periods and 16 overall at the Markin MacPhail Centre in Calgary. Alex Carpenter, Brianna Decker, Hilary Knight and Meghan Duggan scored with Megan Bozek adding an empty netter for the U.S. Defenceman Tara Watchorn scored the lone goal for Canada after they fell behind 3-0. Goaltender Shannon Szabados stopped 24-of-28 shots. "It was an emotional day," Montreal forward Caroline Ouellette said. "A lot of different feelings around the team. "I suspect thats always the case when a head coach steps down in the NHL. Its just never happened to us. I think we have some people who are feeling mixed emotions. "Thats not an excuse. We clearly were not the better team tonight. Theres a lot of areas of our play that were exposed and that we werent good at. Our passing wasnt sharp, our changes, and those are details we cannot have go that bad. "Maybe we were cruising a little bit having three successful games against them. They took what made us successful in the past games and shoved it at us. They were better on the forecheck and quicker on loose pucks." Goyette, who won gold medals in womens hockey with Canada in 2002 and 2006, pointed out major distractions can happen at the Olympics and the team must learn to play through it. "Any situation like that can happen at the Olympics," she said. "It could happen at the world championship. If something happens really major, we have to be able to turn the switch for two and a half hours and play the game and ttake care of business.

" Canadas all-time leading scorer Hayley Wickenheiser suffered a lower-body injury on her second shift. The forward went down in the neutral zone, got up slowly and skated in pain to the bench. She briefly returned to the ice late in the first period, but did not appear the rest of the game. "The doctor had a quick look at her," Haley said. "She doesnt feel its anything too serious. Obviously theyre going to take another look at it tomorrow to see how it responds, but everybody is pretty optimistic its going to be a day-to-day thing." Canada and the U.S. scheduled six exhibition games against each other prior to the Winter Olympics in Sochi. Canada won the first two and also beat the Americans 4-2 in the preliminary round of the Four Nations Cup tournament in November. The two sides meet again Dec. 20 in Grand Forks, N.D., Dec. 28 in St. Paul, Minn., and Dec. 30 in Toronto. The U.S. was also upset 3-0 by Finland in the Four Nations tournament, so they were highly motivated to beat Canada at home on Thursday. The Americans have individual speed and skill, which makes them lethal on the power play. They scored twice with a man advantage. "Weve just been working on getting better," U.S. head coach Katey Stone. "We need to get better in our end. That has been the primary focus since November, honestly. Not throwing pucks around and chasing pucks. Trying to possess as many pucks as we can and working our way up the ice zone by zone. "It sounds really dull, but its paying dividends for us. Weve got plenty of kids who are creative offensively, explosive offensively. We let them go, but weve got to take care of their own end." Canadas team game has been superior because the women play high-tempo games against male midget triple-A teams. But the host teams game was disjointed Thursday. "We have to respect Dan Churchs decision, but at the same time we have to go to work," Goyette said. "But, hey, were human. Right now its difficult for the team and difficult for everybody around the team "Tonight it was hard to focus, but we cant use that as an excuse. I dont think we played the game tonight. I think we were watching the game and it cost us."
