Jamie Smith cleared to bat but England considering wicket-keeping changes due to finger injury
England's Jamie Smith is currently batting in the match against Pakistan but is dealing with a finger injury that may affect his wicket-keeping duties. He sustained the injury to his right thumb on Day 1 and is heavily strapped, impacting his role behind the stumps though not his batting performance. Jordan Cox, England's reserve wicket-keeper, is practicing with gloves and could take over wicket-keeping responsibilities if Smith is unable to continue. England leads the match by 166 runs and is on track to potentially win the three-match Test series 3-0, which would be a significant defeat for Pakistan.
