England in Control at Lord's and Stretches Lead to 261 After Skittling Pakistan for 110
Ollie Robinson took 4-11 and Jofra Archer 3-26 as Pakistan were dismissed for 110 and England built a 261-run lead.
- On Friday, England took total control of the second Test at Lord's, building a 261-run lead after bowling Pakistan out for 110. The hosts reached 81-3 in their second innings before bad light stopped play.
- A valuable 47-run, 10th-wicket partnership between Josh Tongue and Gus Atkinson helped England reach 290 in their first innings on Friday morning. The visitors had initially restricted England to 5-120 on Thursday.
- Without opener Imam-ul-Haq, Pakistan's batting struggled against the metronomic accuracy of Ollie Robinson, who took 4-11 from 13 overs, and the intimidating pace of Jofra Archer, who topped 95 mph. Robinson's figures were remarkable.
- England reached 81-3 before bad light stopped play, though Khurram Shahzad claimed key wickets including Ben Duckett and Joe Root in Pakistan's late-session recovery effort. The hosts remain in commanding position.
- Jofra Archer, the 31-year-old pacer, expressed confidence in England's bowling depth, telling Sky Sports, "It's really nice having the extra seamers in the lineup." England won the first Test in Leeds by an innings last week and may clinch the three-match series.
