England exerted firm control on the second day of the third Test against Pakistan, establishing a commanding 268-run advantage before inclement weather interrupted proceedings. The dominant showing was powered by four distinct batters reaching individual fifty-plus milestones: Harry Brook, Dan Lawrence, Jamie Smith, and Ollie Robinson. The persistent rain served as the lone reprieve for the struggling Pakistani team, effectively putting a temporary stop to England's push for a swift victory.
