Star fast bowler Jofra Archer bowled an unplayable delivery on Sunday (August 30) to dismiss Pakistan captain Babar Azam in the second innings of the ongoing second Test between England and Pakistan at Lord’s in London. Babar, who missed the first Test in Leeds last week due to a finger injury, walked out to bat at No. 4 during the morning session of the fourth day’s play at the Home of Cricket but had no answer to a superb delivery from Archer in the eighth over of Pakistan’s second innings.

Babar attempted to play a pull shot but failed to connect properly and was caught by Jordan Cox after the ball went straight up in the air.

Pakistan had high expectations from Babar in the second innings, but he could manage only 6 runs off 8 balls.

He was the third Pakistani batter to be dismissed in the second innings and, at the time of his dismissal, Pakistan were struggling at 14/3 after 7.1 overs.

Pakistan need to score 389 runs in their second innings to beat England and level the series.

They suffered an innings-and-103-run defeat in the first Test of the ongoing three-match series and were bowled out for just 110 runs in the first innings of the Lord’s Test.

Pakistan conceded a 180-run first-innings lead, but Mohammad Abbas’ five-wicket haul in the second innings helped them bowl England out for 208.

Abbas, who became the oldest Asian bowler to claim a five-wicket haul in a Test at Lord’s, finished with figures of 5 for 57 in 22 overs. He opened his account on Saturday by dismissing England opener Emilio Gay before also removing Harry Brook and Jamie Smith on a rain-hit day.

In the morning session of the fourth day’s play, Abbas first dismissed half-centurion Dan Lawrence before getting Ollie Robinson with the first ball of his 21st over.
