Mohammad Abbas finally achieved a coveted place on the Lord’s honours boards with a five-wicket haul on Sunday, but Ollie Robinson tormented Pakistan again as England closed in on a series-clinching win in the second Test.
The seamer took two wickets in four balls before express fast bowler Jofra Archer dismissed Pakistan captain Babar Azam to leave the tourists 14-3 in their second innings.
Earlier in the day, Abbas took 5-57 in 22 overs as England were dismissed for 208 in their second innings on the fourth morning.
Cricketers who take at least five wickets in an innings or 10 in a match or score a century in a Test at Lord’s have their achievements recorded on one of the honours boards in the home and away dressing rooms at the ‘Home of Cricket’.
Abbas, 36, had come close before with a trio of four-wicket hauls, including a return of 4-73 during England’s first-innings 290 in this match.
