The home team unchanged, while Pakistan have three expected changes: Imam in to open the batting with Azhar moving down the order and Haris Sohail dropped; one teenager fast bowler in Muhammad Musa to replace another in Naseem Shah (and make his debut as Naseem did last week); and most importantly, the seam genius Mohammad Abbas in for Imran Khan, to see if Abbas can replicate something like the brilliant form he displayed against Australia in the UAE a year ago.
