England have handed Dan Lawrence a Test recall after two years, while Jordan Cox has been slotted into the crucial No. 3 spot for the upcoming three-match home series against Pakistan, replacing the injured Jacob Bethell.

Lawrence earns his return to the national setup following a standout County Championship run with Surrey, where he accumulated 788 runs at an average of 65.66 while scoring a tournament-best five hundreds. The 29-year-old is expected to slot in at No. 6 and can also offer useful off-spin, helping offset the absence of an all-rounder following Ben Stokes' retirement from international cricket.
