It will be spinners' day out in the second match of the series. Five changes are likely to come in the playing XI, as Muhammad Huraira, Kamran Ghulam, Sajid Khan, Mehran Mumtaz, and Noman Ali replace Saim Ayub, Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Naseem Shah, and Shaheen Shah Afridi. Shan Masood, Abdullah Shafique, Kamran Ghulam, Muhammad Huraira, Salman Ali Agha, and Saud Shakeel will have to get the runs for the team in this all-crucial Test. Shan Masood and Abdullah Shafique had gone pretty well in the last match too, when Shan Masood was at his best with 151 runs and Abdullah Shafique scoring a century. Salman Ali Agha also gave his contribution, though by scoring just 104 runs. Bowling will look to Aamer Jamal, Mehran Mumtaz, Sajid Khan, and Noman Ali for key wickets

Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Salman Ali Agha, Abdullah Shafique, Babar Azam/Kamran Ghulam, Saim Ayub/Muhammad Huraira, Aamer Jamal, Mehran Mumtaz/Naseem Shah, Sajid Khan/Shaheen Shah Afridi, Noman Ali/Abrar Ahmed
Form of England
The visitors will make one change for the second Test. Brydon Carse is expected to make way for the full-time captain Ben Stokes. Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Ollie Pope, Ben Stokes, and Harry Brook are likely to bank on them to score most of the runs in the batting lineup. Earlier, in the last played match, Harry Brook was the bright batsman who brought 317 off 322 with twenty-nine fours and three sixes, and Joe Root managed 262 off 375 balls, hitting seventeen fours. A breakthrough can be expected for the bowling line-up from Gus Atkinson, Jack Leach, Shoaib Bashir, Chris Woakes, and Ben Stokes. Jack Leach was the standout of the first Test with seven wickets, and Gus Atkinson also enjoyed a good day as he took four wickets for England.

Pakistan vs England Expert Tips & Prediction
With their current form, England is going to be a pretty clear favorite in the second Test against Pakistan. Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Naseem Shah are not available for the visiting side as well. England might thrash Pakistan comprehensively and put their selves in the position to take a 2-0 lead in the Test series.
