England extend lead as Pakistan collapse on day two at Lord's
England opened a substantial lead on day two at Lord's after Pakistan's batting collapsed despite Azan Awais' resistance.
England took control of the second Test against Pakistan at Lord's on day two after Pakistan's batting collapsed. Ollie Robinson and Jofra Archer led the attack as England bowlers restricted the visitors and forced them into a defensive position.
Jofra Archer claimed three wickets while maintaining an average speed of 90.7 mph during his spell. Pakistan lost wickets rapidly on the second day despite a gritty knock from Azan Awais. England now hold a substantial lead and stand on course for a first home Test series win in two years.
The visitors were bowled out for 110 in their first innings as England's pace attack proved too strong on a surface that offered assistance to the bowlers throughout the day.

Pakistan's inability to build partnerships against England's pace attack suggests their batting depth remains a concern heading into the remainder of the series.
