England secured a Test series victory over Pakistan following a dominant performance at Lord’s that concluded on Saturday. Despite rain interruptions, England closed out the result on the fourth day of the match. The hosts relied on a potent bowling attack led by Ollie Robinson, Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, and Josh Tongue to contain the tourists. While Mohammad Abbas claimed a five-wicket haul for Pakistan and Saud Shakeel contributed 97 runs, the visitors were unable to match England’s consistency throughout the series. This result marks England’s first Test series win since late 2024. Pakistan now prepares for a final Test match of the tour at Edgbaston amid internal challenges regarding selection and team structure.
