England look to Lord's for redemption
Hallowed ground has seen three landmark moments for hosts in two men's Tests this summer - none of them on the field
Pakistan's captain Babar Azam is preparing to return for the second Test against England at Lord's on August 27, according to a video that has circulated on social media. The clip demonstrates the star batter hitting a series of deliveries in the nets, showcasing his timing, defense, and shot execution skills. Babar Azam was absent from the first Test, which Pakistan lost at Headingley, due to a right middle finger injury.
The video confirms his active engagement in practice, leading many to believe he will feature in Pakistan's playing XI for the crucial match. The news will likely provide a much-needed boost for both the team and fans, especially stand-in captain Salman Ali Agha, who had expressed a desire to return the captaincy duties to Babar.
