Azhar Ali speaking at end of the 2nd Day of the 3rd Test

"We are hoping that the ball will turn more as the game goes on and help us put pressure on the Windies"

"At some stage reverse-swing will come into play which is good as we have decent fast-bowlers" :

"Its very exciting for us that Hasan Ali is making his debut as he is a skiddy bowler and can get reverse-swing"

"Our fast-bowlers are quite capable of picking up 20 wickets and finish the series on a positive note"

"As a batsman you always want to score as much and as quickly as you can but as you saw, the outfield was very slow and the ball just didn't travel that far"

"The ball got soft quickly and it was tough to penetrate the infield; you really had to hit the ball very hard"

"Sometimes you had to hit a six to get those runs and it was hard going but we wanted to get to 400 which we almost did"

"From now on we have to dominate the game and put pressure on the Windies"
 
He said he would bowl and is bowling now!
 
AZhar Picks up a wicket.. thats amazing but the faster men aren't doing anything... Hasan showed some good signs but the pitch is dead for pacers.. Pakistan will have to bat quickly in third innings in order to win this match.. Pitch needs to deteriorate as well if Pakistan is going to win this..
 
Our fast bowlers haven't picked up a wicket yet but they have bowled well only giving 61 runs in 44 overs,with 14 maidens.
 
I really think tomorrow with renewed energy we'll have a positive session! My prediction is that Windies will be 280/9 by the end of Lunch. We'll clean it up right after and then it's upto the Pakistani batsmen to get as big a lead as possible in 60-70 overs of cricket, and then let Yasir Shah do the rest! I call a 6-fer for Yasir in the 4th innings to win Pakistan the match or run the Windies real close.

Should be an amazing two days of test cricket ahead!
