England's new four-man pace attack of Ollie Robinson, Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue and Gus Atkinson dismissed Pakistan for 110 on day two of the second Test at Lord's, showing promise for challenging Australia. Captain Joe Root praised the variety and potential of the group, noting they offer more variation than his previous seam attack featuring James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes and Ben Stokes. The bowlers differ in pace, with Archer touching 95mph, Robinson operating around 78mph, Tongue averaging higher than Archer, and Atkinson slotting in just below them.

Robinson has been particularly effective, taking 4-11 and reaching 17 wickets at 8.84 across three Tests this summer, with 70% of his deliveries hitting a good length. Former captain Michael Vaughan said the attack 'will challenge better batting line-ups' and 'will challenge the Australia line-up quite nicely if they bowl like this', highlighting Robinson's control as a tone-setter England needed.
