Friday 22 July 2016 19:16, UK
England have omitted Adil Rashid from their line-up to face Pakistan in the second Test at Old Trafford.
The decision not to select the Yorkshire leg-spinner means England will go into the match with a single spin bowler, Moeen Ali, while Pakistan selected an unchanged line-up.
Jake Ball and Steven Finn had been dropped from the squad on Thursday, with James Anderson and Ben Stokes recalled to the group.
Both Ball and Finn played in the 75-run defeat in the first Test at Lord's, but were excluded from Thursday's 12-man cut.
England won the toss and elected to bat in what is Alastair Cook's 50th Test as captain.
England team to play Pakistan: Alastair Cook (capt), Alex Hales, Joe Root, James Vince, Gary Ballance, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow (wkt), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Stuart Broad, James Anderson.
