Jofra Archer dismisses Babar Azam with unplayable bouncer at Lord's

Jofra Archer's bouncer dismissed Babar Azam as Pakistan collapsed to a heavy defeat in the second Test at Lord's.

Jofra Archer dismissed Pakistan captain Babar Azam with a brutal bouncer during the second Test at Lord's. Babar attempted a pull shot but failed to connect properly and was caught by Jordan Cox. Pakistan managed just 14 runs in the first 7.1 overs of their second innings.

The dismissal triggered widespread criticism of Babar on social media following Pakistan's heavy defeat. Archer's pace and bounce proved decisive in England's victory.

Pakistan's top-order collapse left them with little chance of chasing a substantial target on the final day.
