Imam subsequently went to hospital to have an X-ray on his arm only to shortly return to the ground, where he was spotted on the balcony with his arm encased in an ice pack.

His fitness will be closely monitored ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup, which begins on May 30 - not least because Imam had scored a majestic 151 in the third ODI, after chalking up 42 not out and 35 in the opening two matches of the series.
