Mohammad Abbas of Pakistan achieved a long-sought place on the Lord’s honours board by taking five wickets in England’s second innings. Despite Abbas’s 5-57, England dismissed Pakistan for 208, setting them a challenging target of 389 runs to win the second Test. This would require Pakistan to surpass the record for the highest successful fourth-innings chase at Lord’s - currently held by West Indies’ 344. Pakistan struggled in the first Test, losing by a significant margin, and faced a similarly poor first innings at Lord’s, being bowled out for 110. Abbas had previously come close to the five-wicket milestone, with multiple four-wicket hauls at the venue. The victory target appears daunting for Pakistan, who will need a remarkable performance to avoid series defeat.
