England beat Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs after posting a mammoth 823 for seven in their first innings. Pace bowler Matthew Potts also returns, with him and Stokes replacing Gus Atkinson and Chris Woakes in the group. The hosts made several changes, including dropping former captain Babar Azam and pace bowlers Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah Afridi.
