Winning back-to-back Test matches with pure dominance is enough to send the England National Cricket Team to cloud nine, but as the name of the opposing team is Pakistan, the English cricketers should check reality before indulging in celebration, as it is said by former captain Nasser Hussain.
Nasser Hussain, the former England captain, expressed that the present Pakistan cricket team is so poor that it is not worth testing the real strength of the England cricket team. The English bowlers performed brilliantly in Leeds and London to claim two consecutive Test matches as well as the series, with one more match to play. In both of the matches, Pakistan was not once able to cross the 200-run mark.
In the previous four innings, the batting line-up of the Men in Green collapsed before scoring 200 runs in an innings. The home team bowlers, especially the pacers, looked unstoppable against the Babar Azam-led side.
Babar Azam himself was bamboozled by a 146 kph bouncer from Jofra Archer's palm. The moment when Babar, the leader of the team, went off balance against Archer and lost his wicket was enough to summarise his team's performance so far in England in the series.
A poor Pakistan side: Nasser Hussain said after the England vs Pakistan Lord's Test match
Speaking on Sky Sports alongside the former India keeper-batter Dinesh Karthik, Nasser Hussain stated that it will be a mistake for the English bowlers if they judge themselves against the Pakistan side, which is poor. The real test will be for the England bowling line-up when they will be up against teams like Australia, South Africa, and India.
"I don't think they should judge themselves against this Pakistan side. I've said constantly this is a poor Pakistan side. So you've got to judge yourself against Australia, South Africa and India and those batting line-ups in particular. And I think in these conditions they would go well," Nasser Hussain said.

— Indian Cricket ? (@Indiancric1cm) August 30, 2026Four England pacers ruled Pakistan in two Test matches
In both of the Test matches, first in Leeds and then the second at Lord's, London, the Pakistan batters had no clue against the pace battery of the home team. Ollie Robinson, Josh Tongue, and Jofra Archer performed profoundly well against the touring team.
Robinson and Tongue picked five-fers each in the first innings of the first match of the series. While Ollie Robinson has taken 16 wickets in two matches (8 wickets in Leeds and 8 in London), Josh Tongue struck 10 times: 5 wickets in the first innings and the other five in the following match.
Jofra Archer returned in the second innings of the first match to take three wickets and then took five more wickets in the second innings. In two matches against Pakistan in the contest, he has claimed 8 scalps already.
Alongside these three seamers, Gus Atkinson, another fast bowler, went wicketless in London, but clinched four wickets in the previous match.
