England vs Pakistan: 2nd Test Match Preview
England face Pakistan in the second Test at Lord’s, London, from August 27–31, 2026, with England leading the series 1–0 after a dominant innings-and-103-run victory at Headingley.
England will be confident after an excellent all-round performance in the first Test. Joe Root, Harry Brook and Ollie Pope provide experience in the batting lineup, while the pace attack will look to exploit the conditions at Lord’s.
Pakistan need a major response after their batting collapsed in the opening Test. The return of Babar Azam gives them valuable experience, while Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Abbas will be key with the ball.
The match could be decided by the battle between England's seamers and Pakistan's top order. If Pakistan can survive the new ball and build partnerships, they have a chance of making England work hard.
Who Has the Advantage?
England have the edge because of their 1–0 lead, home advantage and stronger recent form. Pakistan, however, have enough quality to make this a much closer contest.
Key Players
England: Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ollie Pope, Josh Tongue
Pakistan: Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Abbas
