Sky SportsFriday 28 August 2026 19:03, UK Ollie Robinson and Jofra Archer rattled their way through Pakistan's batting order as England took a 261-run lead on day two of the second Test at Lord's.
The Guardian SportAll that anger appeared to melt away at Lord’s on Friday, however, when, with 290 first innings runs on the board after some tail-end swish in the morning, Root’s attack set about unstitching Pakistan’s batting lineup once more. Ollie Robinson claimed a remarkable four for 11 from 13 overs, Jofra Archer three for 26 from 11.2. The visitors were bowled out for a sorry-looking 110 to ship a 180-run deficit – with England stretching this to 261 for the loss of three wickets in the final session.

The home side were two down inside 19 balls. Ben Duckett played an awful drive to be caught at mid-off and Cox was trapped on the crease to be lbw, both to Khurram Shahzad. Given their healthy lead, there was no panic for England, but caution was required.

The Guardian SportThe value of those runs increased early on in England’s second innings when Ben Duckett chipped Shahzad to mid-off for one and Jordan Cox, lbw for eight, handed Shahzad a second wicket. But alongside Emilio Gay (30 not out), Root settled things down and England are closing in on a first series win for 18 months.
