Into the final stretch - Righto, the series is done and dusted in terms of who wins and who loses, but there's plenty of cricket left to be played. England head into the third and final Test of the series having taken a 2-0 lead, and it's a big win for the new captain and coach duo of Joe Root and Stephen Fleming. For Pakistan, the final Test brings an opportunity to tweak a few things and get a good gauge of their best Playing XI, and they do need that batting lineup to settle down. The third Test between England and Pakistan will be played at Edgbaston, Birmingham, and will start on Wednesday, September 9 at 10 am GMT. You can join us sooner for the build-up as usual too. So, there's a bit of a long break, allowing both sides to recover and maybe even think about utilizing their bench strength. For now, it's goodbye from us. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!

The victorious skipper of England - Joe Root says that it feels good to win the series, and the guys played really good cricket. He reckons that the bowling group was brilliant and Robinson was the standout. When asked about the conditions, he says that the surface was a bit tricky and they adapted to it really well. Moving to the final test, he says that they will keep evolving and try to win the last game as well.

Let's now hear from Pakistan's skipper - Babar Azam says that they opted to bowl first and utilize the conditions, which they did, but the opposition managed to get to 290. He feels that they weren't up to the mark with the bat in the first innings. Lauds Abbas for his five-wicket haul and mentions that their batting suffered a similar fate in the second innings as well, but credits Saud Shakeel for his knock. Goes on to say that they need to be better in building partnerships, be it with bat or ball, and ends by saying that they need to improve overall and go again in the final Test match.

Player of the Match - For his match figures of 8/35, Ollie Robinson has been given the accolade. Robinson says that the deck was a bit slow, but it was a great one overall. When asked about his form, he says that he has been improving his skills, and he kept building the pressure, and that worked well for him. He reckons that he keeps on bowling slower balls from one end, and Jofra and the other bowlers keep things pacey from the other end.

The Presentation ceremony...

Shakeel's antics not enough to save Pakistan's blushes - Pakistan’s steep chase began on the back foot as Robinson and Archer quickly reduced them to 14/3. Saud Shakeel then led a determined fightback alongside Shan Masood, putting together a 97-run partnership to steady the ship. Robinson returned to dismiss Masood and Mohammad Rizwan in quick succession, but Shakeel held firm with an unbeaten 78 alongside Ali Usman to take Pakistan to 140/5 by Tea on Day 4, still needing 249 runs to win. The final session began with Shakeel breathing fire and he quickly raced into the 90s on the back of a few eye-catching hits. Meanwhile, Usman got out, and then Shakeel fell on 97 as he looked to bring up his century in style. There wasn't much resistance after that as Pakistan were bowled out for 194, losing by 194 runs as well.

Abbas' legend grows at Lord's - Looking to build an insurmountable lead, England were met with fierce resistance from Mohammad Abbas, who claimed a brilliant five-wicket haul at the Home of Cricket, making it a total of 17 wickets in just 2 matches at the venue. Dan Lawrence stood tall amidst the wickets and rain interruptions to notch a crucial half-century, ensuring England reached 208 before being bowled out. With a substantial lead from the first innings, England set Pakistan a daunting fourth-innings target of 389 runs.

Robinson and co rout Pakistan - Pakistan's reply unraveled in rapid fashion as England's pace attack ran riot in helpful conditions. Ollie Robinson bowled a sensational spell, taking four wickets for just 11 runs in 13 overs, while Jofra Archer provided fiery support with three scalps. Only Azan Awais showed fight with a gritty 46, and with an injured Imam-ul-Haq unable to bat, the visitors crumbled to 110 all out, handing England a massive 180-run first-innings lead.

England's tail wags to 290 - Pakistan opted to bowl first, and Mohammad Abbas immediately set the tone by tearing through England's top order with the new ball. Jordan Cox and Jamie Smith rescued the hosts with solid half-centuries, but Pakistan fought back in the evening to trigger another collapse. Just when England looked set to fold cheaply, the final pair of Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue launched a frustrating 47-run counterattack, lifting their side to a competitive 290, especially on this surface.

England seal the series win - Imam-ul-Haq is suffering a calf injury and won't be back out to bat, which means the game is all over. England take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, and finally manage a Test series win for the first time since late 2024, and they have completely outplayed Pakistan at Lord's. We have had so much rain around, which extended the game into the final session on Day 4, but after Pakistan were bundled out for 110 in their first innings, England always seemed a session or two away from victory.

Imam-ul-Haq is unfit to take any more part in the match and is given as absent hurt.
