Ahead of the second Test against Sri Lanka, Pakistan's batsman Azhar Ali, who is struggling with his form said that he will try to play big innings.

"I will try to play the best innings I can for the team. If that's a big inning, I haven't made runs for a while so the more the better. I will try to play a big innings here," cricketpakistan.com.pk quoted Ali as saying.
