And the first ball of day two is well wide and Root leaves it alone.

There are always some talking points when Pakistan are in town. They're a tremendous Test team to watch.

It is a bit murky. This could be Pakistan's way back in.

So what did the fans get up to during the rain delay?

A game of concourse cricket, of course.

Always dangerous playing across the line...

Off the field, there has been a frank exchange of views between former England captain Michael Vaughan and bowler Stuart Broad.

Missed any of it? Here's the story so far...

With overcast, humid conditions at Headingley, this should be a good time to bowl - but can Pakistan find the swing that England did on day one?

If England bat through this tricky period without any significant damage, they'll be firmly on top in this Test.

Root is unbeaten on 29, while Bess is yet to score.

Well, this is a bonus.

I feared the rain was set in all day at Headingley but happily the skies have cleared and play is set to get under way at 14:45 BST.

There is more wet weather forecast in Leeds this afternoon but hopefully it stays away and we can get a few good hours of cricket in.

England will resume on 106-2, trailing Pakistan by 68 runs, with skipper Joe Root and nightwatchman Dom Bess at the crease.

With the rain still pouring, we're going to temporarily take a break.

We'll be back once the rain has cleared. Fingers crossed...

While we're waiting for the rain to clear off, here are the highlights from the first day at Headingley.

I got Dean Jones out once at Melbourne. I think he got 70-odd. It was a crucial time and I cleaned him up.

I tell him all the time, whenever I see him. I don't remind anyone else - he's the only one. We work together in the Pakistan Super League. Whenever we meet up, it's the first thing I remind him of.

There's worse ways to spend a rain delay.

Brian Lara is definitely the best batsman I bowled at.

On any given day anybody can take you on, but Lara scored a few hundreds against us in Tests and ODIs. I was never scared of him and I got him out a couple of times for ducks.

But if it was his day, he would really punish you. He was hard to bowl to because he would hit you around even on good deliveries. Sachin Tendulkar was a great batsman but he was a player who would defend if you bowled close but then put away the bad balls.

Lara would try to take you on every delivery.

The sky is gloomy and grey and miserable. We've no idea when it will stop.

The last Test in Pakistan was 2009. It has been tough for the guys. Administrators are working on it slowly. It's going to take time. I'm hearing there are more Pakistan Super League games next year. And Zimbabwe and West Indies have had one-day tours there.

It's still early days but I would reckon it's another couple of years before Test match cricket returns. The people there are hungry for cricket.

The telly is currently showing great England v Pakistan matches from years gone by.

Currently we're on the third Test in Karachi in 2000. I'll not spoil the result for you.

Andy Caddick has just bounced Saeed Anwar out, via a superb catch from Graham Thorpe right on the edge of the boundary. I might just start live texting this.

Waqar Younis
Former Pakistan pace bowler

I remember playing against England in a one-day game in India when the ball was swinging big time. I had three slips and a gully in a one-day game because it was swinging that much. I kept beating the bat with outswingers and I was itching to bowl the inswinger. On the way back to my mark, I'd ask Imran if I could bowl it and he'd say no.

For the first three, four years he would stand at mid-off and tell me what delivery to bowl. There was usually no way in the world I would do anything he'd not told me to do.

In India the grounds were massive. After the fourth outswinger I'd had enough, and I bowled the inswinger but pitched it up too much and Allan Lamb flicked me through mid-wicket to the boundary as there were seven fielders on the off side. Imran went to get the ball from the stands, came up to me and asked, "What did you do?" I couldn't lie. And I can't repeat on radio what he said to me.

I regret to inform you that it is still raining at Leeds - there's one or two hardy souls sat in the stands, umbrellas firmly up.

Strictness can be on-field or off field. On-field - Imran Khan was the best captain.

Imran was very honest on the field and would appreciate honesty on the field. He would give you it there and then and not wait to get back in the dressing room.
