The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has provided an update on the injury suffered by right-arm pacer Haris Rauf on the first day of the first Test against England at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
According to the team’s management, the star pacer is experiencing discomfort in his right quad, but there are no signs of serious injury, and the cricket board’s medical board is monitoring him.
It is worth noting that the Rawalpindi-born pacer, who made his red-ball debut in the ongoing match, had to leave the field on the first day of the match after rolling over the ball while fielding.
Haris Rauf allowed 78 runs in 13 overs and dismissed opening batter Zak Crawley, who laid the foundation for a high-scoring innings with 122 runs off 111 balls, including 22 boundaries.
England’s batting unit frustrated the home side’s bowling attack by keeping them on the back foot on a record-breaking opening day. Four individual centuries helped the visitors score 506 runs in a single day.
The fast bowling unit, on the other hand, bounced back on the second day, with Naseem Shah striking in the first over and dismissing skipper Ben Stokes before sending Harry Brook to the pavilion later in his spell.
The visitors finished their innings with a total of 657.
