Manchester, Aug 8 (AP) England, chasing a target of 277 to win the first Test against Pakistan on day 4 at Old Trafford, made a good start to its run chase by reaching 55-1 at lunch on Saturday.

Captain Joe Root was unbeaten on 18 while opener Dom Sibley was 26 not out.

Rory Burns was the man out, having fallen lbw to Mohammad Abbas for 10. The England opener was given out by the on-field umpire and his decision to review the call proved in vain, with video replays showing the ball would have gone on to clip the top of the bails.

There appeared to be some friction between the two teams as Burns exchanged a few words with the Pakistani fielders on his way back to the pavilion, while putting his finger to his mouth as if to silence the opposition.

Broad finished with figures of 3-37, taking his tally of victims to six in the match, and there were also two wickets apiece for Chris Woakes and Ben Stokes. (AP)
