| England are chasing the series after losing to Pakistan at Lords, so what changes will they make for the second Test? Ahead of the action - which gets underway from 10am on Sky Sports 2 on Friday - we checked in with our pundits and asked them to pick their XIs.England could make at least two changes, with James Anderson and Ben Stokes both proving their fitness in the County Championship. Lancashire director of cricket Ashley Giles says James Anderson is raring to go for Englands second Test It follows reports that Englands head coach Trevor Bayliss was unhappy with the decision to leave Anderson out of the squad for the first Test. Bearing in mind that no-one as yet has looked at the pitch - and assuming Anderson and Stokes are fit - here are the Sky Sports pundits selections...Nasser Hussains XI: Cook, Hales, Root, Vince, Ballance, Bairstow, Stokes, Moeen Ali, Woakes, Broad, Anderson.Nas says: Steven Finn and Jake Ball go out, with James Anderson and Ben Stokes back. Id have Adil Rashid in the squad just in case its a raging bunsen, which it can be at Old Trafford. Moeen Ali is bowled for a second-ball duck by Yasir Shah Moeen Alis place is under the greatest threat but it would be a little harsh to leave him out after getting 150 two Tests ago. You have to decide who is your best spinner in the conditions, factoring in the rough created outside off-stump by Pakistans left-armers.David Lloyds XI: Cook, Hales, Root, Vince, Ballance, Bairstow, Stokes, Woakes, Rashid, Broad, Anderson.Bumble says: Anderson is a very, very experienced player and if he says hes fit, Id go with him - I think hes sensible enough to say I dont think I can get through or Ill be fine, so hes in along with Stokes. Theyre a given, and Ball and Finn have to give way. Jake Ball could be out after just one Test England need a spinner to take the ball away from right-handers, so Id go with Rashid over Moeen. I say that having not seen the pitch, though, so England could decide to play two spinners.Bob Willis XI: Cook, Hales, Root, Bell, Ballance, Bairstow, Stokes, Rashid, Woakes, Broad, Anderson.Bob says: Weve got too many players - Hales, Vince, Stokes, Ali, Broad - who bat like they are millionaires and Roots joined the club recently, so we need a level head in there and someone who can play spin, because Yasir Shah is probably the best leg-spinner since Shane Warne and hes going to be the key to this series. Ian Bell hits out against Yorkshire in Dubai England have got to find a way to play against him and I dont believe - out of the other batsmen that Ive seen - that anybody is as well-equipped as Bell to do that job. I would have picked him but the selectors havent gone down that road - its safety first, and Anderson and Stokes will come in for Finn and Ball.Rob Keys XI: Cook, Hales, Root, Vince, Ballance, Stokes, Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Woakes, Broad, Anderson.Rob says: Anderson comes back in if he says hes fit, youve got to go with him. Woakes has been outstanding for the last few Tests, and took 11 wickets at Lords, so he has to keep his place - that means its a pretty easy conversation to have with both Finn and Ball, although its unfortunate for them. Should Ben Stokes go back up to six in the batting order? They could have brought Stokes in for a batsman and played an extra bowler, but now theyve gone with Vince and Ballance, theyve got to give them a good run of games. I would put Stokes back in at six though, despite Bairstow playing well there - the more responsibility Stokes has had in the past, the more return England have got.Nick Knights XI: Cook, Hales, Root, Vince, Ballance, Stokes, Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Woakes, Broad, Anderson.Ive got Stokes and Anderson coming back in for Ball and Finn. Now theyve got some game time behind them with their counties, they naturally demand a place in the team. Will Moeen Ali keep his spot as Englands spinner? Id stick with Moeen as the spinner over Rashid. With Pakistans left-armers creating rough, I would want that off-spin option.Watch day one of the second Test between England and Pakistan live on Sky Sports 2 from 10am on Friday.
