Pakistan Strikes Early at Lord's; Sri Lanka Secures Test Draw vs. India

Pakistan's bowlers capitalized on favorable conditions at Lord's, reducing England to 80-4 by lunch on the first day of the second Test. The early wickets, including a notable diving catch by Muhammad Rizwan, put Pakistan in a dominant position. Play had been delayed due to rain, impacting the scheduled start of the match.

In a separate fixture, Sri Lanka successfully salvaged a draw in the second Test against India in Colombo. The Indian team pushed for a victory, but Sri Lanka's lower order, led by a determined Sonal Dinusha, displayed resilience on the final day to prevent India from securing a series sweep.
