Team news (from Cricinfo)
Ben Stokes missed training on Tuesday due to an upset stomach but turned up to take part 24 hours later, having seemingly recovered. Alistair Cook said that his condition would be assessed closer to the time, with England mindful that five days in the heat is a demanding business even at peak fitness. Including Samit Patel as a third spinner is an option that has not been ruled out while Liam Plunkett and Chris Jordan - who has arrived as Steven Finn's replacement - are the other candidates if Stokes is held back as a precaution. Mark Wood has previously suffered from playing Tests in quick succession but Cook suggested there were no plans to rest him.
England (possible) 1 Alastair Cook ©, 2 Moeen Ali, 3 Ian Bell, 4 Joe Root, 5 Jonny Bairstow, 6 Ben Stokes, 7 Jos Buttler (w), 8 Adil Rashid, 9 Stuart Broad, 10 Mark Wood, 11 James Anderson.
Yasir Shah, who missed the first Test with a back spasm, returned to practice even as his spin partner Zulfiqar Babar was slogging through 72 overs in Abu Dhabi and he is fit to take his place in the XI, most likely at the expense of Rahat Ali. Azhar Ali was expected to have recovered from a toe injury but the death of his mother-in-law means he has returned to Pakistan and won't be available - which in turn means Shan Masood is likely to keep his place despite ending the first Test in James Anderson's pocket. Offspinner Bilal Asif has joined the squad and will be considered even though he has undergone testing for a suspect action.
Pakistan (possible) 1 Shan Masood, 2 Mohammad Hafeez, 3 Shoaib Malik, 4 Younis Khan, 5 Misbah-ul-Haq ©, 6 Asad Shafiq, 7 Sarfraz Ahmed (w), 8 Wahab Riaz, 9 Zulfiqar Babar, 10 Yasir Shah, 11 Imran Khan.

Think there will be a positive result in this one suspect the Pakistani spinners hold the key

Bloody Rooty falls short again
RE: Pakistan v England (in UAE) 2015 - Lord Snooty - 24-10-2015
Jonny B Gone. Out for 45.
Jonny B still there. It was Butthead who was out. For a duck as well.
He's out this time and the batting has crumbled this morning. Five wickets gone already? Shambolic!
223-8
Good bowling from the Pakis this morning. This is the session that will win them the match.
