A bit surprised there is no thread about this here. 2nd Test starts in 27 hours.
I think Wahab Riaz is a must for this match if he is fit. He can hit a few at the end of innings as well. Other then that I think Malik will make a comeback, since Shafiq was quite unimpressive in the first test. So line-up will look something like this:
Hafeez
Taufeeq
Azhar
YK
Misbah
Malik
Adnan
Riaz
Gul
Junaid
Ajmal
As for SL, they will be more or less the same.
I hope the pitch is not too hard, and is prone to cracks on the 4th and 5th days, Abu Dhabi pitch didn't show any even in the evening session on 5th day.
Other than that a faster outfield can help the scoring rate, which hasn't been higher than 3 in any innings of the first match.
