Ollie Robinson<\/strong> took a sensational 4-11 in 13 overs as Pakistan collapsed to 110 all out in the second Test against England at Lord's on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But on a day when 13 wickets fell in total, England then slumped to 13-2 in their second innings on a pitch still offering significant seam movement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

England, however, had recovered to 81-3 -- an overall lead of 261 runs -- when bad light forced an early close to the second day. The hosts are seeking an unassailable 2-0 lead in a three-match series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Robinson was well-supported by fast bowler Jofra Archer, who did the initial damage in a return of 3-26, and fellow paceman Josh Tongue, who took 2-27 after making a Test-best 30 not out at No. 11 earlier Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I think our lead is a lot of runs on this wicket," Archer told Sky Sports after stumps. "There was a ball with your name on it today, so I am really happy with the guys and how we batted."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Opener Azan Awais top-scored for the tourists with a determined 46, after he was dropped on eight in the slips by Harry Brook.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Saud Shakeel's 16 was the only other double-figure contribution by a Pakistan batsman.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Probably the fastest spell (I've faced)," Awais told the BBC after coming through Archer's probing stint with the new ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He added: "To have pace and accuracy is good."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

An innings lasting a mere 37.2 overs ended with Pakistan nine wickets down after opener Imam-ul-Haq was unable to bat following a calf injury suffered when fielding on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Gus Atkinson (45) and Tongue had earlier frustrated Pakistan with a tenth-wicket partnership of 47.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Archer made the breakthrough when a flat-footed Shan Masood, opening in place of Imam, edged a 91 mph (146 km\/h) full-length delivery to wicket-keeper Jamie Smith for one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Tongue then struck with what became the last ball before lunch when Abdullah Shafique was caught behind to leave Pakistan 16-2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Pakistan captain Babar Azam got off the mark in style as he belted an 88 mph Tongue delivery through the covers for four before a flashing drive off Atkinson also sped to the boundary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

That was as good as it got for Azam, who missed Pakistan's crushing innings and 103-run defeat in the first Test at Headingley last week with a finger injury, before he nicked Tongue to a diving Jordan Cox at third slip.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Pakistan were 30-3, having been dismissed for 171 and 135 at Headingley.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Both Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan were lbw to Robinson before Ali Usman played on to Archer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Pakistan then lost a flurry of wickets, Archer ending the innings in emphatic fashion when he knocked over Mohammad Abbas's off-stump.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Khurram Shahzad gave Pakistan a glimmer of hope with 2-5 in two overs after Ben Duckett (one) mistimed a half-volley to mid-off before Cox (11) was lbw on review.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

- Root lbw again -<\/p>\r\n\r\n

England captain Joe Root, not for the first time in his long career, came in with his side in trouble, at 13-2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Together with Emilio Gay, he kept Pakistan at bay until, on 24, he was plumb lbw to a nip-back ball from Mohammad Ali -- the ninth time in 12 Test innings the England great had been leg before.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Next ball Brook was also given out lbw to Ali, but the batsman's review revealed a huge inside edge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In the morning, England resumed n 248-9 after fifties from Smith and Cox helped them recover from a top-order collapse caused by veteran seamer Abbas's superb burst of 3-4 in 16 balls after Pakistan won the toss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Atkinson was 34 not out and Tongue unbeaten on one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Tongue expertly glanced Ali for four and drilled Abbas through the covers for another boundary, with England's last-wicket duo largely untroubled by a Pakistan seam attack lacking raw speed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Azam belatedly turned to left-arm spinner Ali Usman.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
