A Wicket Similar To First Test Will Give Us More Advantage: Stokes
Shaheen Shah Afridi: Ahead of the second Test against Pakistan, England captain Ben Stokes feels that if they get a similar wicket to the first match then it will be an advantage for them. The second Test in Multan will be played on the same surface as the series opener where England defeated Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs last week. Stokes missed that match due to his hamstring injury as Ollie Pope led the side in his absence.
"If you look at the way that the first Test played out, if another wicket like that was produced, maybe that gives us more of an advantage," said Stokes, who returns to the playing 11.
England made two changes to their line-up as pacers Gus Atkinson and Chris Woakes were dropped to bring in Matthew Potts and Stokes while spin duo Jack Leach and Shoaib Bashir kept their place.
