England will hit the ground more aggressively in the second test match after a thrilling win over Pakistan, but Pakistan also has the audacity to take the match in its favor with its swinging batsmen and aggressive bowlers.
England would like to get on with the same team except for their star player Ben Stokes who has been ruled out from the rest of the tournament. Pakistan would also like to try the experience of Wahab Riaz instead of fast-bowler Naseem Shah, who was not much successful in the first test match.
