Overview

  • England beat Pakistan by 194 runs at Lord's on Sunday to secure an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
  • Pace bowler Ollie Robinson was named player of the match after finishing with eight wickets across the game, including a devastating 4-11 in Pakistan's first innings.
  • Mohammad Abbas took a five-wicket haul in England's second innings and earned a place on the Lord's honours board for the first time.
  • Saud Shakeel top-scored for Pakistan with a fighting 97 in the fourth-innings chase but Pakistan consistently failed to post competitive totals during the tour.
  • Imam-ul-Haq's calf injury removed a top-order option and uneven bounce on the Lord's pitch has prompted fresh scrutiny of conditions and selection choices ahead of the final Test starting at Edgbaston on September 9.
