Pakistan begin a complete refresh with Babar Azam, Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah Afridi dropped for the next two Tests. Babar Azam in particular has been poor in form and has been given the break while Pakistan as a team has been awful in recent times. They batted well in the first innings but a toiling effort with the ball on a flat pitch and a poor performance with the bat later costed them big time as they choked to defeat.

PAK vs ENG Key Players

Shan Masood

Pakistan's team form has been pretty bad and their captain has done little to help. His runs are drying up with very little to look back on and that will be a concern with Pakistan's history of moving captains around not the greatest.

Shoaib Bashir

Jack Leach is around but Shoaib Bashir will believe he is the spinner to in charge after his time in India earlier this year. He knows how to use subcontinent conditions well and is likely to bowl a bulk of the overs.

PAK vs ENG Match Tips

England are favorites despite being away from home. Pakistan has been struggling in the longest format and a win will boost them but that also looks rather unlikely at the moment.
