England vs Pakistan Live Score 2nd Test Live Updates© AFP
ENG vs PAK 2nd Test Highlights: England was 248-9 against Pakistan in the Lord’s test when bad light prematurely ended a first day that began late on Thursday. Half-centuries by Jordan Cox and Jamie Smith underpinned a fighting total after England was threatened to be sunk for under 200. The start of play was delayed for 80 minutes by heavy morning rain and when returning captain Babar Azam won the toss Pakistan immediately took advantage of muggy conditions under cloud cover. England lost three wickets in the first hour, including linchpin Joe Root, and Harry Brook departed just before lunch. Cox held England together as Pakistan’s fielding mixed the sloppy with the sublime. Pakistan dropped or missed three catches, the most costly involving Smith, whom wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan misjudged on 15. Smith went on to 61. (Scorecard)
