Pakistan vs England 2nd Test
Lord’s Cricket Ground, London
England enter the Pakistan vs England 2nd Test with a 1–0 series lead after winning the opening match at Headingley by an innings and 103 runs. The hosts controlled the game with bat and ball, leaving Pakistan with a quick turnaround before Lord’s.
Pakistan were dismissed for 171 and 173 in Leeds, while England made 447 in their only innings. Pakistan’s batting group will need longer partnerships and greater discipline against the new ball if the visitors are to level the series in London.
England will look to carry their momentum to Lord’s, where seam movement and the ground’s distinctive slope can test batters from the opening session. Pakistan remain hopeful that Babar Azam will return after missing the first Test with a finger injury.

Pakistan vs England 2nd Test Match Preview
Pakistan and England meet in the 2nd Test at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London from 27 to 31 August 2026. England lead the three-match series 1–0 after a convincing innings-and-103-run victory at Headingley, making this an important match for Pakistan’s hopes of staying in the series.
England’s batting depth was clear in the opening Test, with Joe Root, Jordan Cox, Harry Brook and Dan Lawrence all making useful contributions. Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue also made an impact with the ball and will look to use the Lord’s slope and any early movement on offer.
Pakistan are hopeful that Babar Azam will return after missing the first Test with a finger injury. His presence would strengthen a batting order that was dismissed below 200 in both innings at Leeds. Mohammad Rizwan, Saud Shakeel and Imam-ul-Haq will also be important, while Mohammad Abbas and Khurram Shahzad lead the seam options.
Lord’s can reward accurate fast bowling, particularly when overhead conditions assist movement. Pakistan need a stronger first-innings performance to put England under pressure, while the hosts can secure the series with another victory.
