England leads by 261 runs

Pakistan's batting woes deepened during the second Test at Lord's, collapsing for just 110 runs in their first innings. Despite the return of captain Babar Azam, who scored only eight runs, the team struggled against England's bowlers. Vaughan expressed that the current Pakistan batting lineup is one of the easiest to bowl to, suggesting they resemble a second-division county side rather than a Test team.

With England capitalizing on Pakistan's collapse, they ended the second day at 81/3 in their second innings, extending their lead to 261 runs. Vaughan's scathing remarks highlight the challenges Pakistan faces, especially with the absence of opener Imam-ul-Haq due to injury. The pressure is mounting on Pakistan to turn their fortunes around in the remaining match.
