Dan Lawrence impressed with an unbeaten 50 runs for England on a weather-hit third day of the second Test against Pakistan at Lord's. His performance came in challenging batting conditions as England advanced their push for a series win.
Persistent rain meant only 24.5 overs were possible on Saturday. Play began at 14:40 BST and was frequently interrupted before being abandoned at 18:30, despite an improvement in the weather.
Lawrence's half-century helped England reach 177-7 in their second innings, establishing a lead of 357 runs. This lead is considered substantial given the assistance available to bowlers and Pakistan's batting form.
The weather forecast for Sunday is reportedly much better, which could provide England with an opportunity to secure victory in the match and their first series win since 2024.
