TL;DR Summary

Pakistani opposition leader Imran Khan greeted supporters outside his home in Lahore after police withdrew from around his compound. The police operation to arrest Khan was suspended to allow a cricket tournament to take place nearby, as the stand-off was causing major traffic disruption.
