Strauss and Trott secure nine-wicket victory


Andrew Strauss played a controlled innings to ensure England didn't wobble in their run chase


Andrew Strauss and Jonathan Trott hit unbeaten half centuries to guide England to an emphatic nine-wicket win in the second Test at Edgbaston to give them a 2-0 lead in the series. Both batsmen finished on 53 with the second-wicket pair making light of a potentially testing surface as the hosts completed their sixth consecutive Test victory midway through the afternoon session.

England 251 and 118 for 1 (Strauss 53*, Trott 53*) beat Pakistan 72 and 296 (Haider 88, Ajmal 50, Swann 6-65) by nine wickets
