Pakistan's Test Record Tumbles at Lord's
1 Sep
Summary
- Pakistan lost the Lord's Test, sealing a series defeat against England.
- The team's 154th Test loss means they've won fewer matches than lost.
- Captain Babar Azam cited batting collapses as the primary reason for defeat.
Pakistan experienced a significant setback at Lord's, succumbing to defeat in the second Test against England and consequently losing the series with one match left to play. The team was bowled out for 194 in their second innings, failing to chase a target of 389.
This loss added to Pakistan's Test cricket history, marking their 154th defeat. It signifies a new low, as they now have more Test matches lost than won, a situation not seen since August 1987. Captain Babar Azam acknowledged the batting unit's inability to capitalize on opportunities as the main cause.
Despite the team's overall performance, Azam highlighted the commendable efforts of Saud Shakeel, who scored 97, and pacer Mohammed Abbas, who took a five-wicket haul at the iconic venue. Pakistan aims to improve their performance in the upcoming third Test at Edgbaston.
