England Bat On as Pakistan Hopes Rise

England resumes batting on day four at Lord's as Pakistan receives a boost with Imam Ul-Haq taking part in throwdowns despite his left calf injury.

England continued their innings on day four at Lord's, with conditions appearing more favorable for batting as they chose not to use the roller. The hosts look to build on their position as Pakistan hopes are raised by the sight of Imam Ul-Haq participating in throwdowns despite his left calf being strapped. betsport24.es

The 27-year-old opener was seen hobbling but managing some practice, raising the possibility of him returning to the field later in the Test, potentially in a role similar to Chris Woakes' recent comeback. Play resumed at 11am BST with England in control but Pakistan still in with a chance if their key batsman can recover sufficiently.
