In the first Test, England's fast bowlers had to work very hard, although despite this they were able to win by an innings. Atkinson had bowled 39 overs, while Carse had bowled 38 overs and Woakes had bowled 35 overs. Atkinson and Woakes have played all six Tests for England this season, so they have been rested. Whereas the cars that debuted in the first test are currently fresh. Ben Duckett, who suffered a thumb injury, is now fit and retaining his place. After Stokes' return, Jamie Smith will bat one place lower i.e. at number-7 while Stokes will be seen at his old and favorite number-6.
Multan's pitch could be like this
Pakistan has decided to play the second Test on the same pitch on which the first match was played. After this, he has included only one fast bowler and 3 spinners in the playing 11. It seems clear that the pitch will be slow and scoring runs will not be easy. There is hope for help for the spinners from the first day.
