England leaves Pakistan 16-2 by lunch after being bowled out for 290 at Lord’s

England dominated Pakistan by an imposing 261 runs after two days of the Lord's test on Friday. After a day of bowling Pakistan out for 290 at lunch, England's bowlers were in complete control. Pakistan's bowlers struggled to keep the momentum going, conceding an intimidating 180-run lead to England. The only resistance Pakistan managed was from debutant opener Awais, who scored 46 runs off 102 balls.

England's bowlers, led by Archer and Tongue, delivered a fast new-ball spell, with Archer topping at 95 mph and Tongue taking a career-best batting performance. England's batting line-up also contributed to the score, with Duckett and Root scoring heavily. Despite Pakistan's best efforts, they couldn't match England's formidable bowling attack.
