Pakistan Opener Imam-ul-Haq Unlikely to Bat in Second Innings at Lord's Due to Calf Injury
Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq is unlikely to bat in the second innings of the Lord's Test against England due to a grade-1 tear in his left calf muscle. Diagnosed after scans on day one, he has been advised to rest for 10 days. Imam did not bat in the first innings, and his absence leaves Pakistan with fewer batting options. The team's medical panel is monitoring his condition, with updates expected after the third day's play. Substitute Salman Ali Agha has fielded in his place.
