Karachi: Australian captain Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bat against Pakistan in the second Test in Karachi on Saturday.
The visitors dropped fast bowler Josh Hazlewood from the first Test line-up and handed a debut to leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson to bolster their spin attack.
Pakistan brought back frontline paceman Hasan Ali and allrounder Faheem Ashraf -- who both missed the first Test due to injuries -- replacing Iftikhar Ahmed and Naseem Shah.
