England hold the upper hand heading into Day Three and a series win is within reach if they can capitalize on their lead. Rain interruptions, however, can blunt momentum and give Pakistan's batters extra time to regroup, while also offering the bowlers fresh conditions when play resumes. Lord's is a venue where the result often hinges on how effectively the side batting fourth handles the fourth-innings chase, so the weather could play a decisive role. For Root's side, the priority will be turning first-innings control into a position from which Pakistan cannot recover.
