  1. Yet for all this, it may in time prove a significant one for Dan Lawrence. During the two hours of play that were possible, and in hugely challenging conditions for the batters, Lawrence delivered an unbeaten 50 off 66 balls that cut through the gloom and showed his desire to make this latest stab at Test cricket count.

    'Eye-catching Lawrence got his tempo right' In the small amount of cricket the fans did see, England's Dan Lawrence clinched a sixth Test half-century with his knock of 50 not out from 66 balls including a stunning six over extra-cover that Sky Sports pundit Dinesh Karthik called "the shot of the series".

  2. After being chewed up and spat out by the previous regime – three Tests in the unfamiliar role of opener when Zak Crawley was injured – this was Lawrence’s second half-century in his new role at No 6. It was also a decent recovery from a day one howler, when he needlessly ran himself out.

There was an error Pakistan bowler Muhammad Abbas takes the wickets of Dan Lawrence and Ollie Robinson to complete a five-wicket haul early on day four of the second Test, and put himself on the honours board at Lord's.
