Babar Azam Cites Batting Failures in Pakistan's Test Defeat to England at Lord's
Pakistan captain Babar Azam attributed his team's 194-run defeat to England in the second Test at Lord's primarily to poor batting performances. After winning the toss and choosing to bowl first, Pakistan's bowlers, including Mohammed Abbas who took a memorable five-wicket haul, performed well, but the batting lineup collapsed in both innings. Babar praised Saud Shakeel's determined batting effort during the chase but noted the lack of partnerships hindered their progress. England's bowlers, led by Ollie Robinson, dismantled Pakistan's batting order to secure the win.
