England Pakistan Daily, 2nd Test, Lord’s Day 2: The second morning of the second Test began with promise for Pakistan. An injury before play, a wagging tail, and surgically precise bowling changed everything. England’s varied attack challenged Pakistan at every turn, with just enough help in the air and on the ground for the metronomic, mercurial, the nibble, and the fire of England’s fast bowlers. The day ended with the question no England fan wants to ask - is Joe Root starting to struggle? Yas Rana joins Daniel Norcross.

England Pakistan Daily, 2nd Test, Lord’s Day 1: Leaden skies, rain delays, ‘keeper up and a bit of swing and seam on offer gave Day 1 at the Lord’s Test a familiar county cricket feel, and England struggled to deal with the Championship’s best performer in recent times, Mohammad Abbas. Jamie Smith, with murmurs about his place in the team, was England’s pick alongside his challenger Jordan Cox. But it was Pakistan’s day, as they roared life back into a series that threatened to flatline. Yas Rana joins Geoff Lemon.

England Pakistan Daily, 2nd Test, Lord’s preview: England and Pakistan head into the 2nd Test with the series on the line, but it’s issues on the periphery that are dominating the narrative. England’s lingering disciplinary problems and the mounting pressure on the pitch at Lord’s linger in the air. Whilst Pakistan as a unit will be under pressure, Babar Azam will feel the need to carry a weak Pakistan batting lineup. For England, Jamie Smith will feel he’ll need to contribute to solidify his spot. Adam Collins and Geoff Lemon preview the 2nd Test.

England Pakistan Daily, 1st Test, Headingley Day 2: A few things went right for Pakistan: Ali Usman grafted his way to a five-wicket day, and they're very distantly still in the game overnight, if they can have an excellent third morning. However, it was a day when fielding calamity may have been masked by bowling calamity, but shouldn't have been. Danyal Rasool joins Geoff Lemon from Leeds.
