Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik is expected to be fit for the second Test against India after twisting his ankle in a game of soccer following the first Test loss on Monday.

A team official told Reuters a scan had shown the injury was not serious.

"Malik has a grade one sprain, but the team management feel he will be fit for the second Test," he said.

India won the first in the three-Test series by six wickets on Monday morning. The second Test starts in Kolkata on Friday.
