Younis boost for Pakistan


Pakistan vice-captain Younis Khan is expected to re-take his place in the middle order after a knee injury.

"Younis is fit now so he will be playing the second Test," team manager Zaheer Abbas told Test Match Special.

Abbas is awaiting more information on Shoaib Akhtar, currently training with Warwickshire after an ankle problem.

Abbas added: "We have to wait for the doctor's report whether he is fit enough to play in the Test matches. If the reports are good, he will."
