Out-of-form Pakistan batsman Babar Azam was dropped on Sunday for the second Test against England, following their innings and 47-run defeat.

“We’ve made the decision to rest Babar Azam and a few other players,” said selector Aaqib Javed in a Pakistan Cricket Board release. Azam has not scored a fifty in his last 18 Test innings and managed just 30 and five in the first Test defeat.
