James Taylor's maiden half-century moved England into a good position on the second day of the third and final Test against Pakistan in Sharjah.
+++++++

Taylor, playing his first Test for three years, made an unbeaten 74 to move the tourists to 222-4.
England accelerated late on a largely painstaking day to close 12 behind.
Alastair Cook made 49, Ian Bell 40 and Jonny Bairstow 37 not out for the tourists, who must win to avoid a series defeat.
Both Cook and Bell fell to the leg-breaks of Yasir Shah, who served notice of his threat on a pitch that turned less than the first day but is still hard work for the batsmen.
With a large fourth-innings chase likely to be a difficult task, England require significant occupation of the crease on day three if they are to build a match-winning lead.
Cook and Bell shared a second-wicket stand of 71, but England were almost derailed by an impressive display of Pakistan bowling after lunch.
As Yasir and left-arm pace bowler Rahat Ali brought scoring to a standstill, Cook and Joe Root fell for the addition of only seven runs.
At 97-3, right-hander Taylor, recalled in place of Jos Buttler after being overlooked for the first two Tests of the series, arrived for only his fourth innings in Test cricket.
In the company of Bell, he first absorbed the Pakistan pressure, then gradually accumulated in the busy, energetic style that has brought him success in England's one-day side.
Looking particularly accomplished against the spinners, Taylor mixed powerful sweep shots, balletic foot movement and deft nudging of singles on both sides of the wicket.
After Bell departed, he combined with the fluent Bairstow for an unbroken stand of 83 as England scored more quickly against the second new ball late in the day.
"It's been a real tough wicket to bat on. But Taylor has made it look simple, which is the biggest compliment you can give him," former England captain Michael Vaughan told Test Match Special.
"He clearly trusts and believes in his game. I'd say he's going to be a fixture now in the Test team."
While Pakistan might have expected more success on a pitch that had seen them bowled out for 234 on the first day, leg-spinner Yasir gave a further demonstration of the danger he will pose to England later in the match.
A sustained period targeting the pads of Cook saw the England captain twice fortunate to avoid being caught at short leg before lunch, only for the left-hander to fall in just that manner right after the break.
Bell had looked comfortable in both attack and defence, but he was also undone by Yasir just after tea.
The right-hander was fortunate to survive a reviewed caught-behind decision off left-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar, only to be lured in the next over by a dipping, spinning Yasir leg-break and stumped by Sarfraz Ahmed.
"He's bowled beautifully," said Vaughan. "He's put dip and energy on the ball.
"Countless times the ball has gone past the outside edge. He's certainly bowled well enough to get a lot more than two wickets."
Though many saw Moeen Ali's promotion to open the batting as a short-term measure that allowed England to play an extra bowler in the UAE, Cook suggested before the series it could be a more permanent move if the Worcestershire man impressed.
However, Moeen's return of 62 runs in five innings suggests the experiment will end after this Test meaning Cook will have an eighth opening partner in little more than three years when England play South Africa in December.
Not only are the numbers poor, but the manner of his dismissal on the second morning was not befitting of a Test opener.
In only the seventh over of the day, Moeen looked to slog sweep the fourth delivery he faced from off-spinner Shoaib Malik and could only top edge straight up and into the hands of Younus Khan at slip.
"That was irresponsible, stupid, ridiculous," former England opener Geoffrey Boycott said on Test Match Special. "Moeen bats better down the order. I don't understand England keeping him as an opener."
Ian Bell: "Today was about grinding out a day of Test batting. It wasn't going to be the best-looking style of cricket, but about trying to get a lead. If we can win the first session tomorrow then we are in a great position. There's a lot of batting to come and every run we get puts us in a better position."
Geoffrey Boycott: "I wouldn't say England are fully on top, but they've put themselves in such a condition that it might allow the bowlers that bat to attack the bowling tomorrow. A lead of 50 or 70 would be good but anything else would be outrageously marvellous. They won the battle today but they haven't won the war."

Action has been taken to address concerns since a report said north Wales was a "poor place" to have a stroke, said health officials.
+++++++
A: A watchdog said care has "improved dramatically" since a study in 2014.
The update was given at a meeting of the North Wales Community Health Council and Betsi Cadwaldwr health board on Tuesday.
The ambulance service said it always ensured stroke patients received treatment as quickly as possible.
During the meeting in Mold, Flintshire, the health board admitted that it needed to be more transparent with information when dealing with the health council as it had previously been forced to submit a Freedom of Information request to discover certain data.
It pointed to figures from the Royal College of Physicians regarding stroke treatment across the UK.
In 2014, it concluded that more needed to be done in all Welsh hospitals to get patients treated more quickly, including the hand over between paramedics and hospital staff.
Sonia Thompson, the Welsh Ambulance Service's head of operations for the health board area, said: "Critically ill patients - like stroke patients - are our priority, and are handed over as quickly and as safely as possible to hospital staff."

As choreographer Chris Fonseca teaches me a dance routine, the beat of the music is pumping through me.
+++++++
A:

assistant: But not through my ears. I'm wearing a SubPac, which is strapped on to my back and allows me to feel the beat of the music as it thumps through my body.
Chris is trying to replicate what it would feel like if, like him, I were deaf. And this is his aim - to give the opportunity for deaf dancers in his classes to feel the music so they can learn his choreography with ease.
"Dance classes are always so fast-paced, and without being able to hear the music you end up just being out of time," says Chris.
The SubPac, which is widely used in the music world to help music producers feel the music without damaging their ears, works by transferring low, bass frequencies directly to your body, providing the physical dimension to sound.
As soon as his aunty introduced him to music videos, dancing became a passion for Chris. But when he became deaf at a young age, after having meningitis, he thought his dreams of dancing and choreography were over.
Through his love of dance, Chris persevered, joining dance classes at the back and allowing his natural ability to shine through.
But he knew that not every deaf dancer would be as confident as him without being able to hear the music.
James Williams, who does business development for SubPac, tells the BBC: "Giving Chris, and those with hearing impairments the ability to experience something that we all take for granted is a rare opportunity.
"Since the focus is on physicality, the SubPac is great for helping dancers with hearing problems to dance in time to the beat."
And technology is giving people with all kinds of disabilities the chance to stay active and keep fit.
Take Simon Wheatcroft, who lost his sight at 17.
Simon was born with the genetic degenerative eye condition retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which causes gradual deterioration of the retina. But that hasn't stopped Simon becoming an ultra-marathon runner.
"I started running for something to do. I used a guide dog to run outside or went running with other people," he says.
He has run the New York marathon and many much longer races, normally with a human guide. But what happens when you want to run solo?
In a bid to do a 155-mile ultra-marathon in the Namibian desert this May he turned to IBM Bluemix - the tech giant's app development arm - to help him create an app.
Called eAscot after his guide dog, the app uses sensors, similar to car parking sensors, and satellite navigation to help him stay on course.
A desert race can be broken down into a series of straight lines, each with its own bearing on a compass. If he veers off to the right, the app emits a high-pitched beep that increases in frequency the further away he goes. If he runs too far left, low pitch beeps warn him.
Silence means he's heading in the right direction.
"I was tired and in pain after the marathons, but I was also happy knowing I had achieved something that once seemed impossible, made possible thanks to technology," says Simon.
"What sticks with me is the feeling of accomplishment," he adds. "Being able to do something that had never been done before. To create an application in a matter of weeks that changed what was possible for visually impaired runners felt even better than completing any race."
Paralympians, too, are using technology to help them compete at the highest level.
Advances in 3D printing, lightweight materials and computer design are having an impact in a number of areas, from tailor-made racing wheelchairs to aerodynamic prosthetic limbs.
"The technology being used, such as 3D tech, is evolving every year and we will see a wide range of new advancements at the upcoming Paralympics that will aid those competing to achieve even greater records across all disciplines," says Nick Braund, head of tech and innovation at PHA Media.
Designworks carried out full body scans of track and field athletes in the US Paralympics team to create the sporty racing wheelchairs.
But what about assistive technology for everyday sports?
When Anthony Netto, a South African-born professional golfer and US veteran, was paralysed after being shot through the hip whilst on duty in Iraq, he thought he'd never be able to play golf again.
As a paraplegic he knew it wouldn't be possible without being able to stand. So he invented the Paragolfer, a machine that can elevate you from a sitting position to a standing position.
Initially invented in 2001, it was finally launched in April this year at Mearns Castle Golf Academy in Glasgow.
Anthony says it's transformed the prospects for people who thought they'd never be able to play the sport again.
"From tears of joy, to smiles from ear to ear, hugs and kisses for grateful heartfelt thank yous - I feel like I've made a real difference to people's lives," he says.
Nick Braund concludes: "New tech innovations like these have allowed those previously not able to take part in sport or exercise the opportunity to compete and succeed."
And that can only be a good thing.
