Inzamam, who felt uneasy during the tea-break, had splitting headache and was resting in the dressing room, Pakistani local manager Sultan Ahmed said.

"There is no cause for worry and he will be back in the field tomorrow," Ahmed said.

With Inzamam out of the ground, his deputy Younis Khan led the team in the last session.
