Saud Shakeel scored 97 but fell short of a century as England completed a 194-run victory over Pakistan in the second Test at Lord's. Shakeel was caught by Harry Brook off Josh Tongue with Pakistan still needing runs.
Shakeel's innings was the only substantial contribution in Pakistan's second innings total of 194. The right-hander batted for over four hours but could not convert his near-century into a match-saving knock.
England's victory was built on another strong bowling performance, with Ollie Robinson taking four wickets in the innings. The win gives England a 2-0 lead with one Test remaining.
CricHubb Take
Shakeel's 97 represents Pakistan's best individual score of the series, yet still ended in defeat, underlining how their batting has struggled to convert starts into substantial totals throughout the tour.
