A much-changed Pakistan side will look to bounce back and level the series when they face England in the second Test, starting on Tuesday (October 15) at the Multan Cricket Ground in Multan.
Having suffered their sixth straight defeat in the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) cycle in the series opener, Pakistan made a lot of changes to their squad by resting senior players like Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah and Sarfaraz Ahmed.

Shan Masood-led side lost the first Test by an innings and 47 runs at the same venue in Multan despite scoring 556 in the first innings after England responded with 823/7 declared and followed that up by bundling out the hosts for 220 in their second innings.
The hosts have made four changes to their team. Pakistan had announced their playing 11 on the eve of the Test like England, who will welcome their skipper Ben Stokes in a couple of changes from the victory in the first Test. Here is a look at the playing 11 followed by the fantasy picks:
PAK XI: Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique, Shan Masood (captain), Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Salman Ali Agha, Aamir Jamal, Noman Ali, Sajid Khan, Zahid Mehmood.
ENG XI: Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (captain), Jamie Smith (wicketkeeper), Brydon Carse, Matthew Potts, Jack Leach, Shoaib Bashir.
