'His best Test for a year' - England-Pakistan player ratings

England have a series victory for the first time since 2024 after outclassing Pakistan again in a 194-run victory in the second Test.

Here's how the players rated at Lord's.

Ben Duckett - 4 - Another quiet Test for Duckett whose total of 18 runs across the match was only three more than at Headingley last week. Could do little about his first-innings dismissal but the way he hit a drive straight to mid-off in the second was really poor.

Emilio Gay - 5 - So unlucky to be the latest victim of the poor Lord's pitch after reaching 31 in the second innings. The third Test at Edgbaston could be a big week for the opener.

Jordan Cox - 7 - Very impressive again in making 55 in the first innings. As wickets fell around him, Cox remained composed. Yet to make a score that completely forces the selectors' hand but he is building a strong case to stay when Jacob Bethell is fit again.

Joe Root - 5 - Scores of four and 24 as England's captain fell lbw in both innings. Seven of his nine Test dismissals this summer have been in that fashion. It is not a crisis... yet…

Harry Brook - 6 - Nothing spectacular from Brook, who made 15 and 34, but he took a more restrained approach than in similar recent Tests when faced with difficult conditions.

Dan Lawrence - 7 - After being dropped and then run out in making 17 in the first innings, Lawrence responded with a useful 54 in the second that suggested he does have the skills for this role, with the bat at least.

Jamie Smith - 8 - His best performance for a year. Smith's 61 in difficult conditions in the first innings was perfectly played. Again, kept well up to the stumps to Ollie Robinson. His glovework has gone up a level.

Gus Atkinson - 5 - The one member of England's pace quartet who is struggling for wickets. Bowled quickly on day four but still only has one scalp in the series. His 45 with the bat in the first innings was handy.

Ollie Robinson - 9 - This is turning into Ollie Robinson's summer. After another eight wickets, England's seamer now has 23 wickets in three Tests at an average of 8.34 since his recall.

Jofra Archer - 8 - Brilliant in the first innings when he was unfortunate to finish with just the three wickets. His bouncer to dismiss Babar Azam on day four was a throwback of Archer's fearsome debut on the same ground.

Josh Tongue - 7 - Pakistan did not recover after Tongue took the key wickets of Babar Azam and Abdullah Shafique in the first innings. Also improved his Test high score to 30 not out.

Shan Masood - 5 - Battled in the second innings for 26 but only made one in the first.

Azan Awais - 6 - Rode his luck against Archer but otherwise played nicely for 46 in the first innings before being Robinson'd in the second.

Abdullah Shafique - 2 - Five in the first innings, a duck in the second. Shafique was Pakistan's best batter in the first Test but went missing here.

Imam-ul-Haq - 1 - Didn't bat, didn't bowl, dropped a catch.

Babar Azam - 2 - Best thing he did was win the toss.

Saud Shakeel - 7- Finally a bit of fight from Pakistan. Deserved his century.

Muhammad Rizwan - 5 - A mark boosted by his admirable keeping up to the stumps.

Ali Usman - 4 - These were not conditions for a spinner so hard to judge fairly. He is not a Test number eight with the bat, never mind seven where he had to emerge here after Imam's injury.

Khurram Shahzad - 3 - Just as expensive as Headingley and only took three wickets despite favourable conditions.

Muhammad Abbas - 8 - Nine wickets in the match, including 5-57 in the second innings to put him on the honours board. Much improved on Headingley and a constant threat with conditions in his favour.

Mohammad Ali - 6 - Also better than he was at Headingley, nipping the ball in and out, but he won't find conditions better suited to his style.
