Pakistan head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed says the team was not aware of a reported Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) threat ahead of or during the Lord’s Test. The issue becomes public amid controversy that arises during the lunch break on the first day of the match. According to the reports, Sarfaraz gives his account after the lunch interval, clarifying what players knew at the time.
The reports also describe how the controversy coincides with an interview segment featuring Imran Khan’s sons discussing their father’s situation. After lunch, Pakistan’s players return to the field and the Test continues as scheduled. Both outlets note that England builds momentum on the match’s second day, finishing the day in a strong position.
While the coverage focuses on Sarfaraz’s clarification regarding team awareness, it does not present detailed, verified specifics of the alleged PCB threat itself. Instead, it centers on the timing of the reported incident, the lunch-break context, and how the match proceeds without interruption thereafter.
