Imam was taken to a nearby hospital for X-rays but to everyone’s relief, he returned to bat towards the end of the Pakistan innings, signalling that there was no fracture. Imam struck a sparkling century in a losing cause in the previous ODI in Bristol. England, meanwhile, made a few changes to their side before selecting the final World Cup side. Bairstow’s absence saw Hampshire top-order batsman James Vince given another chance to make a case for World Cup selection. England have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the five-match series after the first ODI was washed out.
