England have replaced injured all-rounder Liam Livingstone with fast bowler Mark Wood in the only change to their squad for the second Test against Pakistan, with Ollie Pope retaining the wicketkeeper’s gloves.
Livingstone has returned home after sustaining a knee injury in his debut Test in Rawalpindi, where England pulled off a remarkable 74-run victory for a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Wood missed the first Test as he continued his recovery from a hip injury.
Ben Foakes, who missed the opener with illness, is now fully fit but England skipper Ben Stokes confirmed that Pope, who made 108 in the first innings in Rawalpindi, will continue behind the wicket because of his superior batting.
Off-spinner Will Jacks, who claimed six wickets on his Test debut in Rawalpindi, was also retained.
