England secured a 194-run victory at Lord's, leading the three-match series 2-0 despite Saud Shakeel's defiant 97. Ollie Robinson delivered a career-best performance with figures of 8-35, including 4-24 in the second innings. His third-over wickets of Awais and others ensured the match concluded inside four days, aided by weather delays.

Robinson's resurgence continues his comeback summer, while Jordan Cox and Dan Lawrence's half-centuries strengthen England's top order. Pakistan's Muhammad Abbas and Shakeel provided resistance, but could not prevent defeat. The third Test at Edgbaston begins September 9, with England likely to complete a 3-0 series sweep.

Off-field controversies, including Brydon Carse's situation and Pakistan's match-abandonment threat over Imran Khan's son's interview, overshadowed the on-field action.
