Dan Lawrence's unbeaten 50 on day three of the second Test at Lord's has placed Pakistan in a challenging position to chase down England's imposing total of 177-7 in their second innings. The match was cut short by rain and bad light, with only 24.5 overs bowled, but England still managed to build a significant 357-run lead. Pakistan's highest first-innings score of 171 and 135 was shattered by England, who dismissed them for 171 in the first innings and 110 all out in the second, taking a remarkable 4-11 from Pakistan seamer Ollie Robinson.
With Lawrence's 50, Pakistan will need to set a new record to achieve a series-levelling win, as the current highest fourth-innings total to win a Test at Lord's is West Indies' 344-1.
