England Leads Pakistan by 195 Runs After Day 2 of First Test at HeadingleyNext

On Day 2 of the first Test at Headingley, England took control against Pakistan, reaching 366-8 and securing a 195-run first-innings lead. Jordan Cox, Joe Root, Harry Brook, and Dan Lawrence each scored half-centuries, though none converted to centuries. Pakistan's Ali Usman claimed his first five-wicket haul with figures of 5-92. Rain delayed play, limiting the day's overs, but England's batting resilience kept them in a strong position.
