England Reduce Pakistan to 53-3 to Close in on Victory

England’s pace attack took three wickets in the chase, while Mohammad Abbas claimed five for 57 as Pakistan’s fragile batting again faltered.

  • On Sunday, England moved closer to a series victory after reducing Pakistan to 53-3 at Lord's on the fourth morning of the second test, chasing a target of 389.
  • England set the daunting target after posting 208, compounded by Pakistan's struggle to reach 200 in three previous innings this series, exposing the visitors' fragile batting.
  • Ollie Robinson and Jofra Archer dismantled the top order early; Robinson removed Azan Awais and Abdullah Shafique while Archer bounced out captain Babar Azam in the first eight overs.
  • Shan Masood and Saud Shakeel provided fighting runs before lunch, though Pakistan remains effectively four down with opener Imam-ul-Haq unable to bat due to a left calf injury.
  • A victory at Lord's would secure England's first home test series win in two years, ending a significant drought if the pace attack maintains pressure on remaining batters.
