England captain Stokes returns for second Pakistan test

England captain Ben Stokes will return to the side for the second test against Pakistan after missing the last four matches due to a hamstring injury, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Monday.

Seamer Matthew Potts has also been named in the playing 11 for the first time since August, with Gus Atkinson and Chris Woakes rested for the match in Multan, which begins on Tuesday.
England, who beat Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs in the first test, will conclude the series with a third match in Rawalpindi from Oct. 24.
