Jofra Archer Dismisses Pakistan Captain Babar Azam in Lord's Test Amid Pakistan's Struggles
Pakistan captain Babar Azam was dismissed by England's Jofra Archer during the second Test at Lord's, struggling against a sharp short-pitched delivery that struck his bat and helmet before being caught by Jordan Cox. This dismissal extended Babar's century drought to 38 Test innings and came amid Pakistan's challenging position in the match, trailing by 180 runs and facing a possible series whitewash. Archer's pace and bounce troubled Babar, whose indecision drew criticism, while Pakistan's batting collapse continued under England's bowling pressure.
