Anderson struck to remove Shan Masood for one, the opener edging a ball to Alastair Cook at first slip, before trapping Azhar Ali plumb lbw for eight.

Younus Khan then had a left-off before lunch when he was dropped in the slips by Cook off Ben Stokes.

It proved a frustrating day for Stokes who later limped off with a calf injury.

Earlier, Cook and Root piled on the runs in the morning session, the captain making 76 not out and Root finishing unbeaten on 71 following his test-best 254 in the first innings as England declared on 173 for one.

The third test in Birmingham starts on Aug. 3.
