ENG vs PAK 2nd Test, Cricket Tips: The first test between England and Pakistan ended with an expected result. England proved to be too good for the visitors, and Joe Root started his second stint as captain with a win by an innings and 103 runs. Without Babar Azam, Pakistan only managed 171 and 135 runs across two innings.

Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue took 8 wickets each. Pakistan looked toothless on the field. Their batting looked vulnerable, and bowling didn't have any spine. It will be a miracle for them if they can win the second game. The second test is scheduled to start at 3:30 PM IST on August 27 at Lord's Cricket Ground.

ENG vs PAK: Ground Pitch Report

Lord's is an excellent venue for the fast bowlers. It offers a green top and bowling-friendly conditions. Additionally, the slope on one side produces more assistance for the seamers. It is difficult to adjust here, as there will be many plays and misses, and overhead conditions will also aid the seamers.
