England extends lead to 342 runs in second test against Pakistan at a rainy
Lord's
LONDON (AP) --- England extended its lead over Pakistan in the second test to
342 runs after reaching 162-6 at tea on a rain-hit Day 3 at Lord's.
England's bid for victory had been delayed with no play possible on Saturday
morning at the home of cricket because of showers.
The hosts eventually resumed in the afternoon on 81-3 in its second innings and
with a commanding lead of 261 runs. By tea --- and more time lost to rain ---
England's innings had doubled to 162 runs at the cost of losing three wickets
to Mohammad Abbas (3-48).
Emilio Gay (31) was quickly trapped leg before by Abbas and Harry Brook (34)
was caught behind after a 45-run stand for the fifth wicket with Dan Lawrence.
Abbas dismissed Jamie Smith (7) for his third wicket.
Lawrence (37 not out) and Gus Atkinson (7 not out) are at the crease.
Almost 23 overs have been bowled so far on Saturday.
England scored 290 in its first innings before dismissing Pakistan for 110.
England won the first test by an innings at Headingley last week so it is
looking to clinch the three-match series.
