Babar Azam doubtful for Wednesday’s first Test against England after finger injury

Pakistan captain Babar Azam remains doubtful for Wednesday’s first Test against England as he continues to recover from a finger injury, batting briefly in the nets while awaiting further assessment.

Opener Shan Masood, also recovering from a fractured finger, trains fully and appears closer to returning. Pakistan pacer Mohammad Abbas says medical advice will guide both selections.
