  "account": "On the second day of the second Test at Lord's, England's quartet of seam bowlers - Ollie Robinson, Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue, and Gus Atkinson - overwhelmed Pakistan, leading to England's series win. Led by Robinson and Archer, the quartet provided a demonstration of why England's attack is generating optimism. Pakistan, without injured Imam-ul-Haq, were dismissed for 110, with only Azan Awais scoring 46. England's lead was 180 runs, following their extension of the first innings to 290. The hosts were 13-2 before stabilizing through a 47-run stand between Emilio Gay and Joe Root. Root was dismissed for 24, again lbw to a seam bowler, reflecting a trend for England's leading run-scorer. Harry Brook overturned a wrong decision to be dismissed lbw and Gay scored 30 not out. England reached 81-3, a 261-run lead, but weather forecasts suggest they may have to wait before capitalizing on their advantage.",
