England batter Liam Livingstone who made his Test debut against Pakistan in the First match at Rawalpindi, has been ruled out of the Test series due to his injury.

The 29-year-old was seen struggling while fielding in the second innings and returned back to the pavilion.

Livingstone will fly home tomorrow after scans revealed an injury to his right knee. It is not yet confirmed whether the ECB will call up a replacement.

Previously in August, Liam Livingstone injured his ankle, which made him not 100 percent fit for the series.

Previously in his interview with an International media channel, Liam said, "I am not 100 percent fit; I was also not fit during the entire T20 World Cup, but our hard work paid off, and we won the mega-event tournament."

It must be noted that Pakistan has now scored 90 runs for the loss of three wickets and now need 253 runs to win the first Test.
