Rain Delays England Victory Bid in Second Test Against Pakistan

  • Rain delayed the start of the third day of the second Test at Lord's on Saturday, August 29, 2026, with England holding a commanding 261-run lead at 81-3 against Pakistan.
  • England entered the third day firmly in control after dismissing Pakistan for 110 on Friday, with seamer Ollie Robinson taking 4-11 in 13 overs to dismantle the Pakistan lineup.
  • Under-Pressure opener Emilio Gay will resume on 30 not out alongside Harry Brook, unbeaten on seven, after the pair steadied England's second innings following early dismissals.
  • Pakistan faces a significant challenge to keep England from clinching the series, having never scored more than 234 in the fourth innings of any Test against England in England.
  • With more rain forecast for northwest London, further interruptions could complicate England's victory bid, though the hosts seek to clinch the series after winning at Headingley last week.
