BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) --- England enlarged its commanding lead against
Pakistan to 320 runs on day two of the Edgabston test on Thursday.
The host was all out for 453 in its first innings right on tea for a lead that
looked to be beyond Pakistan.
Pakistan hasn't passed 200 in the three-test series and will have one last
chance straight after tea. Pakistan made 133 in its first innings on Wednesday.
Under increasing cloud, Jamie Smith and Ollie Robinson added half-centuries
after lunch and Jofra Archer was stranded on 32 not out as England mercilessly
scored 154 runs in 25 overs in the session.
Smith, playing with one thumb in a splint, got to 69 off 84 balls when he was
caught and bowled by debutant pacer Razaullah.
Robinson smashed 50 off 47 including seven boundaries and a six, in his second
test fifty.
The tail added 116 runs and hit 15 boundaries.
Razaullah led Pakistan with four wickets but was the most expensive bowler.
Mohammad Ali and newcomer Mohammad Imran took two wickets each.
