Pakistan vs England
Pakistan (Match Odds – 1.85):
Preview:
Following a disappointing performance in the first Test of the series, few changes to the playing XI are possible.
Leg-spinner Zahid Mehmood struggled on a pitch that provided little for spinners, and he is likely to be replaced by left-arm spinner Nauman Ali.
Mohammad Ali also had an average performance on a twisting track, and the team management may include experienced Hasan Ali in the starting XI. Haris Rauf suffered a shoulder injury and will be replaced in the starting XI by Mir Hamza.
In the batting department, the home team will rely on captain Babar Azam, openers Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq veteran Azhar Ali, as well as in-form batsman Saud Shakeel, to score the majority of the runs.
On the bowling front, Hasan Ali, Mir Hamza, and left-arm spinner Naumann Ali will be expected to produce timely breakthroughs.
Full Squad:
Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Azhar Ali, Babar Azam (c), Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Agha Salman, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Ali, Zahid Mahmood, Shan Masood, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Nauman Ali, Faheem Ashraf, Abrar Ahmed
