England lead Pakistan by 357 runs on rain-impacted day at Lord's
Day 3 of the second Test between England and Pakistan at Lord's was heavily disrupted by rain, limiting the amount of play possible. Despite the weather interruptions, England extended their advantage to 357 runs, putting them in a dominant position heading into the latter stages of the match. Pakistan will need a major fightback to stay in the contest, with England well-placed to push for a series-levelling or series-clinching result depending on the state of the series.
Read the full story at skysports.comRain washed out significant portions of Day 3 at Lord's, but the runs that were available only reinforced England's authority in this second Test. A 357-run lead is commanding in any format, let alone a Test match, and it effectively turns the remainder of the game into a question of whether England can force a result inside the available overs. Pakistan, meanwhile, face a gruelling final day or two, batting last on a deteriorating surface with little margin for error. For followers of the longer format, the story is less about the cricket played and more about how much time the weather has stolen from a contest England are already controlling.
