ENG vs PAK 2nd Test: Brook, Gay look to pile on runs as Pakistan bowled for 110 at Lord's

England reduced Pakistan to 110 at Lord's in the second Test on August 29, 2026, leaving the visitors a 180-run first-innings deficit as England's pace attack dominated.

Pakistan’s campaign was weakened by the loss of opener Imam-ul-Haq, who suffered a left calf strain while fielding on the opening day and has been ruled out of the remainder of the Test. The visitors’ batting lacked stability and depth, with Azan Awais’ 46 the only substantial contribution as wickets fell around him.

Captain Babar Azam returned but was dismissed for just eight, while Abdullah Shafique and Shan Masood were among the early casualties as England’s seamers exploited conditions at Lord’s. The collapse left Pakistan with a mountain to climb after their batting order struggled against England’s pace attack.

Ollie Robinson was the chief destroyer, finishing with figures of four for 11 from 13 overs, including six maidens. Jofra Archer claimed three for 26 from 11.2 overs, and Josh Tongue picked up two wickets; Gus Atkinson went wicketless despite keeping pressure on Pakistan's batters.

Brook and Gay were poised to add runs as Pakistan sought early wickets, reflecting the match situation created by England’s bowling performance. Pakistan had earlier been bowled out for 110 in 37.2 overs, handing England a 180-run first-innings advantage.

Imam-ul-Haq’s left calf strain removes him from the remainder of the Test, forcing Pakistan to proceed without their opener while England begin their second-innings intent from a 180-run lead.
