Ollie Robinson added to his impressive record by leading England to a series victory over Pakistan in the second Test at Lord's. Despite Saud Shakeel's outstanding 97, Pakistan were all out for 194 on the fourth day, following an improbable victory target of 389. This secured England's 2-0 lead in the three-match series, marking their first multi-match Test series win since 2019.
Robinson's 8-35 in 26 overs, including 4-24, solidified his performance as Player-of-the-match. Joe Root, England's captain, praised the team's convincing performance and the pace of Archer, Tongue, and Atkinson. Pakistan's Babar Azam acknowledged England's dominance, particularly Shakeel's class in the second innings. Robinson's crucial moments included dismissing Shakeel, Masood, and Mohammad Rizwan, while Archer's bouncer ended Azam's innings.
Abbas's five-wicket haul, combined with Robinson's efforts, solidified England's victory and set the stage for a potential whitewash in the third Test at Edgbaston.
