England beat Pakistan by 52 runs in the second ODI at Lord’s to take a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. After a nine-wicket victory in the first one-day international at Cardiff, the ‘C team’ of England did it again in front of 23,000 fans at Lord’s, reaching 247 all out and then sealing a 52-run victory to take the silverware with a game to spare.
Chasing 248 to win in a game reduced to 47 overs per side due to rain, Pakistan got all-out for 195 in 41 overs.

15 of the current squad in isolation. Buttler and Archer injured. What @benstokes38 and the team have achieved is incredible ππ» Looking forward to watching the next game!

Truly amazing from England. That is a special depth of talent in Whiteball cricket. India, New Zealand and perhaps to a lesser extent Australia have built up a Cadre of talent across different formats that is enviable.

Modern day ODI cricket is all about attack! England didn’t relent even after losing 2 early wkts. π΅π° team management needs to understand & implement a purposeful, full of intent plan. At present, this Pakistan side with the present approach will struggle to beat quality sides

Pakistan needs a few more players with the heart, self-belief and courage of Hassan Ali #ENGvPAK

Longer format always helps your skill sets and as a player u find easier to adjust to shorter forms of the game . No rocket science. India and England playing 5 test series before t20 World Cup and we have exchanged a test for 2 t20s.
