Seam quartet puts England on verge of series win
England’s quartet of seamers once again overwhelm Pakistan to put the home side on the verge of a series win on the second day of the second Test at Lord’s.
Seam quartet from England put Pakistan on the brink of a series victory on the second day of their second Test match at Lord's. Led by Ollie Robinson and Jofra Archer, along with support from Josh Tongue and Gus Atkinson, the England bowlers showcased their prowess, leaving Pakistan struggling to score. Only Azan Awais managed to pass the 20-run mark, while Roberts and Archer were the leading wicket-takers with 4-11 and 3-26 respectively.
The England total of 290 was extended to 290, giving them a significant advantage of 180 runs. The innings saw a stand of 47 between Emilio Gay and Joe Root, but Root was eventually dismissed by Mohammad Ali for 24, yet again an lbw decision to a seam bowler. Harry Brook batted his way out of an early lbw dismissal, while Gay contributed 30 not out.
England currently lead by 261 runs, and with challenging weather forecasted for the weekend, they may need to wait a while to capitalize on their advantage.
