5 memorable moments from Pink Ball Test cricket

#4 Azhar Ali’s triple ton

Azhar Ali after his triple century

The second ever Day-Night Test was staged at Dubai in the United Arab Emirates in 2016 when the Caribbean team clashed with Pakistan in a Test series. Both of Pakistan and West Indies were playing their maiden Test match under the lights.

The game started with Pakistan racking up a mammoth total of 579/3. However, the innings belonged to Azhar Ali as he went on to become the first centurion in Day-Night Tests. He carried forward his knock and scored his maiden triple hundred in Test cricket.

West Indies lacked bite in their bowling as Azhar milked them throughout with sheer ease during his 469-ball knock. As soon as he reached the milestone, Misbah-ul-Haq, the former Pakistan skipper/batsman decided to declare.
