England vs. Pakistan prediction, team news, pitch report and betting tips for 2nd test

England arrive full of confidence after routing Pakistan by an innings inside three days at Headingley, where Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue shared 16 wickets between them and Jofra Archer chipped in with three of his own.

Pakistan's batting simply had no answer, collapsing inside 38 overs in their second innings, and questions over that fragile order remain even with Babar Azam back in contention.

England vs. Pakistan Prediction: Who Will Win?

The headline team news is Azam's return and that to some extent changes the complexion of Pakistan's middle order, giving their innings a senior figure capable of occupying the crease for long periods.

Even so, one man rarely fixes a collapse of the kind seen at Headingley and the supporting cast around him showed little composure under similar pressure last week.

Lord's tends to reward the bowling side early doors and England's attack has the variety and discipline to test Babar's partners regardless of how well he himself holds firm.

England's greater strength in depth should still tell across five days and a series-clinching win remains the more probable outcome.
