West Indies vs Pakistan 2017, 2nd Test: Day 2, 5 talking points

#1 Game in the balance but much will hinge on day 3

Misbah has done the firefighting role so often for Pakistan and will need to do the same on day 3

The game is probably just in the balance courtesy three late wickets picked by West Indies to put Pakistan on the back foot. The momentum might be with the Windies right now, but Pakistan have two batsmen who have time and again fought back with admirable success.

Misbah-ul-Haq and Azhar Ali are among the top three batsmen in the Pakistan side and possess a natural instinct to succeed in such precarious situations. However, credit must go to the Windies for their fight back late in the day. They have been disciplined and if they can grab an early wicket on day 3, the equation could alter.
