West Indies vs Pakistan 2017, 2nd Test: Day 1, 5 talking points

#4 Yasir Shah's back injury hampers Pakistan's progress

With Yasir Shah hampered by a back niggle, the others had to step up

A back injury to their premier leg-spinner pulled back Pakistan after they had the visitors on the mat. The veteran leggie had been brought into the attack early and immediately rewarded his skipper with the wicket of Shai Hope, who was opened up by Yasir's turn and bounce.

While Chase and Holder got going, it was evident that Yasir was struggling with his back. The niggle wasn't allowing him to bowl with his natural guile and this virtually made Pakistan's a three-man attack.
