Vaughan Criticizes Pakistan Batting After Lord's Collapse

Published 30 August 2026

Pakistan's batting lineup was dismantled for just 110 runs on the second day of the second Test against England at Lord's on August 28, 2026, prompting former England captain Michael Vaughan to deliver a scathing assessment of the tourists' performance. Vaughan, speaking on BBC Test Match Special, described the Pakistan batters as the easiest he had seen in a long time and compared their standard to second division county cricket. England, having posted 290 in their first innings, bowled Pakistan out in just 37.2 overs to take a commanding 180-run lead. The collapse was led by England's pace attack, with Ollie Robinson taking 4 for 11 and Jofra Archer claiming 3 for 26.
