BEN STOKES will return to captain England in the second Test against Pakistan, with seam bowler Matthew Potts also recalled to the XI in Multan.

Chris Woakes and Gus Atkinson make way following the tourists’ remarkable innings victory in the series opener.

Stokes, who has missed his side’s last four Tests with a torn hamstring, decided not to risk his fitness last week but has now been cleared after a series of rigorous workouts.
