Robinson strikes again as England wrap up Pakistan series win

Ollie Robinson led the way once more as England clinched a series win over Pakistan with a thumping 194-run victory in the second Test at Lord's on Sunday. Pakistan, set an improbable 389 to win, were dismissed for 194 despite a fine effort from Saud Shakeel.

How did England win the second Test against Pakistan?

England bowled Pakistan out for 194 to complete a 194-run win at Lord's, taking an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Ollie Robinson finished with 4-24 in the second innings after taking 4-11 in Pakistan's meagre first-innings 110 all out. It marked England's first multi-match Test series win since a 2-1 success in New Zealand more than a year ago.

How did Ollie Robinson bowl in Pakistan's second innings?

Robinson struck twice in four balls to leave Pakistan at 7-2, before fast bowler Jofra Archer removed captain Babar Azam. From 14-3 before lunch, Shakeel and fellow left-hander Shan Masood steadied Pakistan with a fourth-wicket stand of 97. Robinson then had Masood lbw for a gritty 26 off 72 balls, a decision reached only after review overturned umpire Allahuddien Paleker's original not-out call.

Pakistan slipped from 111-4 to 115-5 when Mohammad Rizwan was lbw to Robinson after slogging carelessly across the line. Shakeel reached 96 with two successive hooks off Josh Tongue before holing out to Harry Brook at deep square leg. He received a standing ovation from MCC members as he returned to the pavilion after a 122-ball innings featuring 13 fours.

How did England's bowlers finish off Pakistan's innings?

Pakistan slid to 169-7, effectively eight wickets down since Imam-ul-Haq remained sidelined by a calf injury and unable to bat. Tongue then polished off the tail, bowling Khurram Shahzad before ending the match with Mohammad Ali caught in the slips by Brook. Earlier in the innings, Robinson had Azan Awais lbw and bowled Abdullah Shafique for a duck with a delivery that angled in and moved away late to hit off stump. Archer then had Azam in trouble with a sharp bouncer that looped to Jordan Cox at second slip.

How did Mohammad Abbas perform for Pakistan?

Mohammad Abbas earned a place on the Lord's honours boards with figures of 5-57 as England were dismissed for 208. The 36-year-old had come close before, including a 4-73 haul in England's first-innings 290 during this match, and started Sunday with 3-48. He bowled Dan Lawrence, who had added just four runs to his overnight 50 not out, before having Robinson edge to wicketkeeper Rizwan, who took a fine catch standing up to the stumps. Abbas was mobbed by teammates and kissed the turf in celebration.
