England beat Pakistan by 194 runs to win Test series 2-0
England secured an unassailable 2-0 series victory over Pakistan with a commanding 194-run win in the second Test at Lord's on Sunday, August 30, 2026. The hosts bowled out Pakistan for 194 in their second innings after setting a daunting target of 389, clinching the three-match series with one Test remaining. The victory was built on a dominant all-round performance, particularly from the England pace attack. Ollie Robinson was the chief destroyer, claiming four wickets in the second innings to finish with match figures of 8 for 115. His efforts dismantled Pakistan's top order, removing Azan Awais and Abdullah Shafique in quick succession. Jofra Archer also impressed with his raw pace, taking two wickets in the second innings, while Josh Tongue claimed three. Pakistan's chase began disastrously, collapsing to 143 for 5 before a fightback led by Saud Shakeel. Shakeel scored a valiant 97 off 122 balls, falling just three runs short of a century, but he lacked support as the lower order could not complete the recovery. Pakistan were eventually bowled out for 194 in 50.5 overs.
