Express pacer Mark Wood of the England national cricket team has been included in the playing XI for the Second Test, replacing all-rounder Liam Livingstone.

Liam Livingstone made his Test debut in the first Test match of the series at Rawalpindi. He did not take part in the match after Day 2 as he suffered a knee injury at the boundary line and has been ruled out of the entire series.

Meanwhile, express pacer Mark Wood replacing Livingstone in the XI is the only change from the side that won the first test, meaning there is no room for Ben Foakes, who missed the first match due to illness.
