Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

England won the second Test against Pakistan by 194 runs at Lord's to secure an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three match series. Pakistan was dismissed for 194 while chasing a target of 389. This result marks England's first multi match Test series win since their success in New Zealand over a year ago.

Ollie Robinson was a key performer for England. He took 4 for 24 in the second innings and 4 for 11 in the first innings. Jofra Archer also contributed by dismissing captain Babar Azam. For Pakistan, Saud Shakeel scored 97 runs in 122 balls before being caught by Harry Brook. Shakeel and Shan Masood shared a 97 run partnership that briefly checked England's progress. Pakistan's effort was hampered by the absence of Imam ul Haq, who was sidelined with a calf problem.

Earlier in the match, Mohammad Abbas earned a place on the Lord's honours boards by taking 5 for 57. His performance helped dismiss England for 208 in their second innings. While a center left source detailed the match as a thumping victory, a center right source highlighted the historical nature of Robinson's bowling figures.
