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

Misbah-ul-Haq was on 1 off 52 balls at one stage before scoring a half-century

#4 Azhar Ali slams yet another hundred

Azhar Ali continues to pile up runs as an opener

Azhar Ali seems to be Pakistan's answer to the retirements of Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq. They may not have found an ideal middle-order batsman but Ali's stability and consistency at the top of the order give them hope.

The unfaithful opener is a gritty fighter and is arguably the best Test opener in World Cricket today. With a penchant for grafting fine innings', Ali slammed yet another hundred against his favourite opposition, West Indies. While the slowness of his knock is debatable there is no denying the force he is turning out to be for the visitors at the top.
