England’s pace quartet fires again as Robinson-Archer combo seals series win over Pakistan
England's pace quartet, Ollie Robinson and Jofra Archer, continued their winning form as they sealed a series win over Pakistan at Lord's. The dynamic duo, paired together for the first time in test cricket, claimed 24 of Pakistan's 38 wickets. The other two quicks, Josh Tongue and Gus Atkinson, added 14 wickets. England clinched the series 2-0 at Lord's on Sunday, with just one day and a game to spare.
Robinson, who has been the series standout with 8-80 in Leeds and 8-35 at Lord's, explained how the partnership works, saying Archer's high-velocity bowling makes it easier for him to hold and be patient. Root praised Robinson's performance, calling him "phenomenal" and "relentless." The pace attack is exciting England fans, who hope the foursome can maintain their form for the upcoming Ashes series against Australia.
