West Indies vs Pakistan 2017, 2nd Test: Day 3, 5 talking points

#3 Pakistan middle order fumbles

West Indies ran through the Pakistan lower middle-order

After West Indies had gotten rid of the set pair of Misbah-ul-Haq and Azhar Ali, Pakistan needed one of their lower middle-order batsmen to step up and take them to a sizeable lead. The lead was just four when Misbah was dismissed.

Pakistan had Asad Shafiq and Sarfraz Ahmed at the crease, two batsmen capable of changing the course of the game. However, West Indies broke through the duo pretty quickly with Holder trapping Shafiq in front soon after Gabriel had dismissed Sarfraz. Amir fell to Holder soon after as Pakistan struggled to 329/7.
