Jofra Archer bowls rib-high lifter to dismiss Babar Azam at Lord's
Jofra Archer's rib-high lifter dismissed Babar Azam as England sealed a 194-run win and a 2-0 series lead at Lord's.
Jofra Archer dismissed Babar Azam with a rib-high lifter as England beat Pakistan by 194 runs in the second Test at Lord's on Sunday. Babar tried to pull the ball and was caught by Jordan Cox. Archer finished with three for 41.
The dismissal came in the middle of Archer's quickest opening spell in Tests. Pakistan were bowled out for 194 while chasing 390. Ollie Robinson took eight wickets in the match.
The victory gives England an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. The teams will now head to The Oval for the final Test.
CricHubb Take
Archer's spell length and pace at Lord's suggest he is now being managed as a Test specialist, not a limited-overs adjunct, which changes how England will rotate their four-man pace attack through the winter.
