"Worse than a school team" — Netizens roast Pakistan after humiliating 194-run loss to England at Lord's

England defeated Pakistan by 194 runs in the second Test at Lord’s on Sunday, sealing their first home Test series victory in two years. Pakistan were set a target of 389 runs but were bowled out for 194 in their second innings. The result completed another disappointing performance from the visitors, who struggled throughout the match.

The outcome looked almost certain after Pakistan were reduced to 14/3 before lunch in their run chase. Saud Shakeel provided some resistance with a fighting 97, but he did not get enough support from the other batters. England’s bowlers continued to put pressure on Pakistan and eventually completed a convincing victory at Lord’s.

After the defeat, netizens, former cricketers and cricket pundits took to social media to criticise Pakistan’s performance. Many fans were unhappy with the team’s batting collapse and poor overall display, with some even calling Pakistan “worse than a school team” after the humiliating 194-run loss to England.

Pakistan suffer 194-run defeat to England in Lord's Test

Winning a match by chasing 389 runs in the fourth innings of a Test is not an easy task. Pakistan have never won a Test by chasing such a target. Babar Azam had the opportunity to rewrite history, but old history came back at Lord's. Pakistan were all out for 194 runs on the fourth day. Imam-ul-Haq did not bat in this innings either due to his injury. England won the series with one match in hand after a 194-run victory.

Pakistan lost Azan Awais and Abdullah Shafique for 7 runs in the chase. England's in-form pacer Ollie Robinson, who was in great form, dismissed both of them in three balls. Captain Babar Azam was also dismissed soon after as the score doubled. The Pakistan captain was helpless and was caught off a bouncer from Jofra Archer.

Then, the pair of Shan Masood and Saud Shakeel put up some resistance. When the pair were close to a century partnership, Robinson struck again. This time, he dismissed Masood for 26 after a review, with Pakistan's score reaching 111. In his next over, Robinson made the score 115/5 by dismissing Mohammad Rizwan LBW. Pakistan eventually failed to chase the target and suffered a 194-run defeat to England at Lord's.

Bowled out for 110 and 194 — How Pakistan's batting collapsed in both innings

Pakistan’s batting struggled badly in both innings against England at Lord’s. They were bowled out for just 110 in the first innings, with only Azan Awais offering some resistance with 46. Captain Babar Azam managed only 8 runs, while Mohammad Rizwan scored 7. Shan Masood was dismissed for just 1, and Abdullah Shafique could make only 5. Ollie Robinson was the star with the ball, taking 4 wickets for 11 runs, while Jofra Archer picked up three wickets.

Pakistan’s problems continued in the second innings as they chased a huge target of 389 runs. Azan Awais and Abdullah Shafique were dismissed for 7 runs before Babar Azam fell for just 6. The Pakistan captain once again failed to make a significant contribution, while Mohammad Rizwan could score only 1 run. Shan Masood made 26, but Pakistan lost wickets regularly. Saud Shakeel was the only batter who stood out, scoring a fighting 97 off 122 balls, but he received little support from the other end.

The repeated failures of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were among the biggest concerns for Pakistan. Babar scored just 14 runs across his two innings, while Rizwan managed only 8. Pakistan also struggled to build partnerships, apart from the brief resistance provided by Saud Shakeel and Shan Masood in the second innings.

With Imam-ul-Haq unable to bat because of his injury, Pakistan’s batting depth was further weakened. They were eventually bowled out for 194, completing a disappointing batting performance across both innings.
