Ollie Robinson shone with a remarkable 4-11 as Pakistan were bowled out for 110 in the second Test against England at Lord’s. On a day where 13 wickets fell across the board, England suffered a significant slump to 13-2 in their second innings under a pitch providing ample seam movement. Despite England's recovery to 81-3, ending the day with a 261-run lead, the match remained tightly contested.
England received support from Jofra Archer, who contributed 3-26, and Josh Tongue, who finished with 2-27, scoring a Test-best 30 not out at number 11. Pakistan's top scorer, opener Azan Awais, managed a determined 46 runs, despite being dropped on eight by Harry Brook. Saud Shakeel contributed 16 runs as Pakistan's only other double-digit batsman.
A brief 37.2-over innings saw Pakistan lose nine wickets, with opener Imam-ul-Haq unable to bat due to a calf injury sustained while fielding on Thursday. Gus Atkinson (45) and Tongue (30) steadied the ship with a tenth-wicket partnership of 47. Archer dismissed Shan Masood for one when he edged a delivery past the wicket-keeper.
Tongue then took the last ball before lunch when Abdullah Shafique was caught behind, leaving Pakistan at 16-2. Babar Azam made a strong start, scoring an 88 mph delivery from Tongue for four, before being caught by Jordan Cox at third slip.
