Boxing mourns ‘father’ Brendan
misery, Babar on 10 by Cook and Shafiq on 59 by Buttler.
Stokes’ magic spell before tea kept England in the hunt. Bowling fast and with ferocity, he had Shafiq fending to Buttler at gully.
The next ball after that drop he was gone, another short ball catching the bat handle and flying to Dawid Malan at third slip.
Stokes then tempted Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed into hooking a short ball to Wood at deep fine leg on the stroke of tea, the tourists now 227-5, a lead of 43.
By that stage Babar had passed 50 but once England had taken the second new ball, Stokes sent him
SPORT IN BRIEF
on his way with a brutal delivery that cannoned into his left wrist.
But Cook was seemingly unable to take any that came his way as he spared Faheem Ashraf on 29 and Shadab Khan on 30 to bring up his hat-trick of drops at first slip.
Anderson, dismissing Faheem and Hasan Ali, and Stokes, seeing off Shadab, at least gave the home supporters something to cheer.
But by then the game was all but gone for England. BRENDAN INGLE, the highly-respected trainer who died yesterday at the age of 77, leaves behind a legacy that will live long in the area of Wincobank in Sheffield.
The Dubliner produced four world champions: Prince Naseem Hamed, Johnny Nelson, Junior Witter and Kell Brook.
He also trained Herol ‘Bomber’ Graham, one of the finest fighters never to win global honours.
“A good, good man has left this earth today,” Nelson said on social media. “A good friend. A good father figure. And the best trainer in the world.”
Sheffield had given Ingle an opportunity of a life he felt he could not have in Ireland after he arrived in the Sixties to work in the steelworks. He wanted to give back so when a local vicar asked him to give youngsters in the area something to do he did not hesitate at the chance to help.
He would be as proud of the kids he trained who turned their lives around to get an education and full-time work as he was of the world champions he mentored,
Ingle had passed the gym, at an old church hall, down to his sons Dominic and John in recent years but he was still there most days. He still liked to turn the key in the door at 7am.
FORMER British, Commonwealth and European champion Dean Francis yesterday lost his brave battle with cancer at the age of just 44.
