Sarfaraz Ahmed denies PCB threat as England leads at Lord's Test

Pakistan's head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed stated players were unaware of a reported threat by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to withdraw from the Lord's Test. The controversy arose during lunch on the first day, following an interview involving Imran Khan's sons that PCB officials reportedly wanted to censor. Despite the claims, play resumed after lunch, and England ended Day 2 in a strong position at 81 for 3, leading by 261 runs after taking a solid advantage earlier in the match.
