England has aimed to challenge struggling Pakistan with a new-look pace attack in the opening test of a three-match series, starting in the searing heat of Multan on Monday.

England will face “rocking hot” temperatures above 40C (104F) for the two Test matches in Multan that will dictate how they use their pace attack.

No new faces for Pakistan but Aamer Jamal, who was hugely impressive in his debut series in Australia last winter, returns from a back injury to join Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah in an eyecatching pace attack.
