England's new-ball pairing of Ollie Robinson and Jofra Archer proved a potent combination against Pakistan at Lord's, sharing seven wickets as the touring side were bowled out for 110. This performance has given England a 261-run lead in the second Test.
Robinson achieved remarkable figures of 13-6-11-4, which has lowered his average in 2026 to below nine. Archer, who is reportedly injury-free, took three wickets, with his initial spell averaging over 90mph.
Only Azan Awais, with 46 runs, and Saud Shakeel, who reached double figures, offered resistance for Pakistan. England's Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue also contributed with the ball and earlier frustrated Pakistan with a 47-run stand, with Tongue scoring a Test best of 30*.
Pakistan's Imam-ul-Haq was absent from batting due to a calf injury and is unlikely to be fit to bat later in the Test. England removed three of their own batters, Ben Duckett, Jordan Cox, and Joe Root, before the close of play.
