Pakistan were dealt a major injury worry just a fortnight out from their first game of the World Cup when Imam-ul-Haq was forced to retire hurt during the one-day international against England at Trent Bridge.
Imam, who posted a magnificent century in the meeting between the sides in Bristol on Tuesday, was struck on the left elbow attempting to pull a rising delivery from Mark Wood in the fourth over of the visitors’ innings.
The blow, which came to an unprotected part of the batsman’s body, caused Imam immediate discomfort.
Imam-ul-Haq played a fine innings of 151 in the last match, while Asif Ali scored Pakistan's score of 52 in 43 balls to make Pakistan score a sufficient score of 358/9 in the third one-dayer played in Bristol.
The importance of Imam's shift can be estimated by this that how did Pakistan return after finding themselves in 27 years of troubles? 2. Although, Imam not only crushed the drive, flick and pull with strikes, but also gave strength to the strike to promote Pakistan. Good for scores of more than 300.
After putting Pakistan in bat, David Wiley found consistent swing and Chris Woox pulled out a seam movement to disturb Pakistan's openers. Wox started the initial success with doing dangerous deliveries in a delivery, with a delivery that went down to the edge and to catch the root catch.
At that time, Haris Sohail and Imam joined the army to revive Pakistan's innings. Both reversed and flown shots, which included drives, flicks and occasional steers. The main highlight of the stand was a free-fling drive by Haris through the mid-off in the 14th over. Just when Haris looked ready for a substance score, he was run out behind some influential soccer skills by Tom Curran. Imam and Haris tried to take a pinch, but Karan ran everyone on the side of the striker's edge and hit the ball on the stump.
Although Imam and Sarfraz Ahmed shared the scorecard with a 67-run partnership for the third wicket. Once Liam Plunkett removed Pakistan's captain, Asif insisted on the move to hit the accelerator pedal. Asif and Imam put a shot to bowl England bowlers under the pumps. Imam also reached the sixth century in his 27th ODI match with Willie.
Eventually, Wox patted his back to dismiss Asif with the short ball. Curran followed this by generating reverse swings to bring Imam's impressive effort. After Imam's dismissal, Pakistan lost one touch, lost three wickets for 25 runs. Hasan Ali and Shahin Afridi, two lower order batsmen, however, put three sixes in the last two overs to ensure that the speed of the viewers is not reduced. In the meantime, England took 30 minutes to finish their quota in 50 overs.
