England captain Ben Stokes is expected to be ready for the upcoming second Test against Pakistan, likely to take place on the same Multan pitch that hosted the record-setting first Test.
Stokes, who has been sidelined since early August due to a hamstring injury, practiced bowling at full speed in the nets on Sunday as he gears up for the match starting on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the pitch that facilitated remarkable run-scoring in the first Test has been secured and is being dried by two large fans positioned at either end, with repairs made to the creases and bowlers' footmarks.
