Harry Brook’s 91 and Dan Lawrence’s 51 helped England build a 195-run lead, while Pakistan spinner Ali Usman took 5-92.
- On Thursday, England reached 366 for eight at Headingley, establishing a 195-run lead over Pakistan with Harry Brook scoring 91 and spinner Ali Usman claiming five wickets.
- Two key partnerships drove England's scoring: returning captain Joe Root and Jordan Cox built a 150-run stand for the third wicket, while Brook and Dan Lawrence added 120 runs in a fifth-wicket partnership.
- Root made 66 and Cox posted 73 in his Test debut at number three, while Lawrence contributed 51 runs; Brook narrowly missed a hometown century after misreading an Usman delivery to be bowled.

- With better weather forecast for the remaining three days, England appears well-positioned to push for victory with two first-innings wickets still in hand at Headingley.
