England extend lead to 357 on rain-affected day at Lord's

England reached 177 for seven in their second innings on day three of the second Test against Pakistan at Lord's, extending their lead to 357 runs. Dan Lawrence remained unbeaten on 50 from 66 balls despite frequent rain interruptions.

The hosts now require one more substantial innings to push for victory with a match remaining in the series. Pakistan's bowlers found limited assistance from the conditions as England consolidated their position.

Lawrence's gritty innings came after rain had washed out significant portions of the day's play, leaving England with limited opportunities to build on their overnight advantage.
