ENG vs PAK 2nd Test Match Prediction: England dominated the first match of this three-game affair, winning by an innings and 103 runs. With both Pakistan and England being in the bottom half of the World Test Championship rankings, a series win here is crucial for their chances of playing in the final in 2027.
The English Cricket Team is gearing up towards The Ashes later this year in the Australian summer. In 2026, this team reached the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup, only to lose to eventual champions India in a close game.
After the IPL ended, the Three Lions hosted New Zealand for a three-game Test series. While they did win the first one, they were trounced in the latter two, losing the series 2-1 right before defeating India 4-0 in a T20I series, and 2-1 in an ODI series. They also won the first match of this series against Pakistan.
Now under head coach Stephen Fleming, England will look to turn a page on their recent poor form in Test cricket.
As for the Pakistan Cricket Team, they have not had the best year form-wise. They made it to the Super 8 stage of the 2026 T20 World Cup. Since then, they have lost an ODI series to Bangladesh and were then whitewashed in tests by the Bangla Tigers.
An ODI series win against Australia at home came next, followed by a tied two-match Test series against the West Indies. The Men in Green have now lost the first match of this series against England in convincing fashion.

ENG Vs PAK 2nd Test Lord’s Pitch Report
The pitches at Lord’s provide a balanced battle between bat and ball in limited overs cricket cricket. That is also the case in five-day games. There is some decent grass on the surface for the first couple of days. The ball moves around, helping pacers assert dominance early in the game. But then, as the surface gets older, the track becomes better for batting and more runs are scored. The spinner might come into play at some point on the fourth and fifth day. As for dimensions, Lord’s is a pretty decently sized stadium, with the square boundaries being around 65 away from the batters, while the straight ones being just about 70m.
