Five-Wicket Abbas Has Lord's Landmark as Pakistan Set 389 to Win Second ...
Abbas became the first Pakistan bowler to reach Lord's honours boards after taking 5-57, leaving England needing a record chase.
- On Sunday, Pakistan's Mohammad Abbas secured a five-wicket haul, finishing with 5-57 as England were dismissed for 208 in their second innings at Lord's, setting Pakistan a formidable target of 389 runs to win.
- Following an innings and 103-run thrashing by England during last week's first Test at Headingley, Pakistan's batting line-up slumped to 110 all out in their first innings at Lord's, compounding pressure.
- Abbas dismissed the in-form Dan Lawrence for 54 and completed his haul by bowling Ollie Robinson for eight, while Pakistan captain Babar Azam ended the innings by running out Josh Tongue with a direct hit from the covers.
- Pakistan must chase 389 to win, though history suggests significant difficulty as the highest successful fourth-innings total to win a Test at Lord's remains the West Indies's 344-1 in 1984.
- The tourists' fragile batting line-up faces further adversity, as opener Imam-ul-Haq will be unable to bat due to a calf injury and the team has yet to score more than 171 in an innings this series.
