Younis later received excellent support from Mohammad
Amir in a ninth-wicket stand of 97 as the tailender frustrated England with a Test-best 39 not out.
Veteran batsman Younis went to 150 by pulling paceman Stuart Broad for four.
Curiously, despite the overcast conditions after lunch, Cook brought on part-time spinner Root and often expensive specialist off-break bowler Moeen Ali for eight consecutive overs from the Pavilion End.
Younis completed his double hundred in style when he advanced down the pitch to drive Ali for a fourth six in 281 balls.
Amir took 24 balls to get off the mark but did so in dashing fashion when he hoisted Ali for six over deep midwicket.
England eventually ended the partnership when James Anderson's yorker-length delivery struck Younis on the pad and South African umpire Marais Erasmus gave him out lbw.
Younis reviewed but replays showed the ball just clipping leg stump.
He walked off to a standing ovation from the Oval crowd after batting for more than seven-and-a-half hours in a 308-ball innings featuring 31 fours and four sixes.
