England's cricket team will see the return of captain Ben Stokes for the second Test against Pakistan in Multan, after his recovery from a hamstring injury that kept him out of the last four Tests. Stokes, alongside seamer Matthew Potts, will replace Chris Woakes and Gus Atkinson, who have been rested after the first Test, which England won by an innings and 47 runs. The second Test will be played on the same pitch that saw a record-breaking performance by England, who declared at 823/7. Pakistan has made significant changes to their squad, dropping key players including former captain Babar Azam and bowlers Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah Afridi. England aims to seal the series in Multan with Stokes's leadership and contributions, both with the bat and ball. The return of Stokes and Potts is expected to strengthen England's lineup for the upcoming match.
