Rampaul felt the pitch, on which West Indies were bowled out for 344 after opting to bat first, had become better to bat on on day two. "On the pitch, we saw that it's probably gotten a little better, a little flatter, there was less there for the faster bowlers," Rampaul said. "Definitely our consistency as a bowling group needs to be better," Rampaul said. Basically our faster bowlers need to be a little more consistent, try to dry up the runs, and let our spinners come into play." An unbroken 168-run stand between Abdullah Shafique and Babar Azam was at the heart of Pakistan's batting performance on day two, and Rampaul felt the duo had made things difficult for West Indies' bowlers.
