Pakistan cricket team performance and selection

Overview

In the second Test at Lord’s, England has taken significant control of the match. After posting a first-innings total of 290, bolstered by half-centuries from Jamie Smith (61) and Jordan Cox (55), England’s seam attack overwhelmed Pakistan, bowling them out for just 110 runs.

Ollie Robinson led the English bowling effort with figures of 4-11, while Jofra Archer contributed 3-26. For Pakistan, Mohammad Abbas was the standout performer with 4-73. In their response, only Azan Awais (46) and Saud Shakeel (16) reached double figures. England currently holds an 180-run lead and has reached 81-3 in their second innings.

Pakistan’s batting remains impacted by the absence of opener Imam-ul-Haq, who is sidelined with a low-grade left calf strain. Off the field, tensions persist between the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Sky Sports following a formal complaint and threat of a boycott regarding an interview involving the sons of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
