  "account": "England decisively defeated Pakistan by 194 runs in the second Test, securing their first home Test series victory in two years at Lord's on Sunday. Pakistan's innings was brought to an early end at 14-3 before lunch as Saud Shakeel provided some resistance with a remarkable 97. Pakistan were eventually bowled out for 194 late on the fourth day to put England 2-0 ahead in the series. Ollie Robinson was Pakistan's main threat with four wickets for 24, showcasing a match figure of 8-35. Joe Root, who has taken charge as captain with two wins under his belt, praised Shakeel's performance, saying he played \"phenomenal, relentless\" cricket. England's bowling attack, led by Robinson, picked up six wickets in the match, with Archer also contributing two wickets. Despite Shakeel's impressive knock, Pakistan's batsmen struggled to make an impact, and the team is now looking forward to rebuilding morale ahead of the third and final Test at Edgbaston on September 9.",
