Ruthless England take huge lead over Pakistan

September 10, 2026 · ESPN Cricinfo

England established a commanding advantage over Pakistan during their encounter at Edgbaston, driven by a thoroughly productive batting display. Smith and Robinson each crossed the half-century mark to reinforce the hosts' dominant position.

Their contributions followed earlier fifties compiled by Gay, Brook, and Lawrence, making it five separate batters to reach the individual scoring milestone in the match.
