What is a 'lead' in cricket?
In Test cricket, a 'lead' refers to the number of runs one team is ahead of the other after both have batted at least once. England's 195-run lead means they've scored 195 more runs than Pakistan so far. This advantage puts pressure on the opposing team to score quickly and catch up, influencing batting and bowling strategies.
