Injury blow for Pakistan: Imam-ul-Haq ruled out of action for 2nd Test ahead of Pakistan's massive run chase at Lord's

Pakistan's second Test at Lord's has taken a significant injury blow ahead of their massive run chase. Opener Imam-ul-Haq has been ruled out for the remainder of the match due to a calf injury. He did not bat in the first innings as Pakistan were bowled out for 110, struggling against England's 208 in their second innings. With a target of 389 to win, Pakistan now face a daunting task with just nine players available.

The injury has raised controversy, with former players questioning the wisdom of not having Imam open. The match already poses a challenge, as Pakistan have never managed to chase such a target on English soil. The series is now at a critical juncture, with Pakistan already trailing 1-0 following their heavy defeat in the first Test.
