England close in on Pakistan whitewash in third Test as Robinson shines
Demoralised tourists reach 52-2 before rain ends play early on day two, needing 268 runs to make England bat again.
Ollie Robinson continued his outstanding summer with two wickets in his opening over as England pushed Pakistan towards defeat in the third Test at Edgbaston.
Robinson, man of the match in the first two Tests, struck with the first ball of Pakistan’s second innings on Thursday and again three deliveries later to leave England closing in on a 3-0 series whitewash.
The demoralised tourists reached 52-2 before rain ended play early on day two, needing 268 runs to make England bat again.
They made 453 with Harry Brook and Dan Lawrence extending their fifth-wicket partnership to 86 until Brook set off for an impossible single and was run out by Masood for 75 from 97 balls.
