BARBADOS: Misbah-ul-Haq will be eyeing to create history by leading Pakistan to their first ever test series win in West Indies as the second test match between the two sides will be played at Barbados from today (Sunday).

Pakistan, already leading the three-match test series 1-0, will be eyeing to make history by winning the second test match and go on to take an unassailable 2-0 lead.
