England all out - Pakistan need 64 to win.
I assumed it was declared as it didn't say otherwise, but if he'd retired instead it would have counted as all out instead I think (unless he is part of that 9?)
No, he's considered to be retired hurt and not part of the nine wickets that fell. It's "Innings Closed" as not all ten batsman were out.
At least Jimmy Anderson will be pleased to add two more International "not out" innings to his collection....
I'll break the habits of a lifetime and be pedantic for a moment. Nought not out doesn't actually improve your average (but neither does it lessen it).Always good for the average...

I have it in mind that Jimmy has the highest number of ‘not out’ innings in test cricket with 70odd. Short of going through all the stats I can’t find proof though.
I don't have the stats either, but I suspect just as Jimmy may have the highest number of n.o.s, then Stuart Broad probably has the highest number of ducks, which is surprising for a man who's scored a test century, a big one at that! No sign of any pace bowler taking the place of either of them, with Stokes the nearest, but he can't do everything! Botham needed Willis, after all, plus Old and Dilley.Quite right.

Cricinfo reports he has 76. The last record I can find in 2014 was Courtney Walsh with 61, and there is nobody else still playing who was even close to Anderson then (he was on 47).I have it in mind that Jimmy has the highest number of ‘not out’ innings in test cricket with 70odd.

Jennings in for Stoneman for the second test.
Shame. Stoneman is a great player, but is short on confidence in the Test arena.
Jennings - well, let’s see. Last year wasnt great for him.
None of the 14 (?) top order batsmen introduced under Trevor Bayliss's stewardship have yet to cement a place.Jennings is in great county form. Stoneman is in horrible form. Neither fill me with confidence even if they are Durham boys.
England reduce Pakistan to 68-4 at lunch on day one.
Liam Livingstone (Lancs) looking for a place in the England one-day teams adds to his current form; currently 59* v Derbys (3x6) off 43 balls.
Did Pakistan and England swap somehting between the first and second tests?
