extracting columns from arrays within a cell

I have a cell consisting of 8 2x1 arrays and I want to extract the second column from them all. Usually, i'd use

k = cell2mat(data)

data1 = k(:,1:2:end);

But that doesn't work. How do I do this with cells?

% Demo data
A = cell(8,1) ; 
for i = 1:8
    A{i} = rand(2,1);
end
data =  cell2mat(A')' ;
data(:,2)

ans = 8×1
