It's a good thing Harris is a decent spinner. They can at least work on his fielding and his batting, which is not bad, it seems.

A lesson for DF to learn?

And pretty much as soon as i'd finished writing that, Hafeez gloves one behind and things don't look so rosy for Pakistan. Hafeez undone after doing all the hard work.

Boucher equalls the record for most dismissals by a keeper - level with Ian Healy.

well done, Boucher! and well done, Ntini....

A second wicket for South Africa's preimer pacer.

Pakistan's openers let them down again.

64-2 at lunch, Pakistan make it thru the first session without any further loss.

I would think this was South Africa's session.

Do you guys agree?

Yes I agree but only marginally SA session. Because Pakistan scored so slowly, I give the session to SA. But remember that Younis and Inzi can turn that around very quickly. Decent start by the openers, they saw off Ntini's initial spell.

With Yousuf out of the side, the crucial wicket in the post-lunch session is that of Younis. If he can settle down and make runs, he has the ability to make a big score. And of course, as you say gibbs fan, Inzi is still to come to the crease.

Curiously, Inzi did not have a particularly good home series against the Windies. And South Africa's bowling attack is better than the Windies own....

Inzi has not scored a test century against SA. I think his highest score is 90?

And neither has Younis Khan?....

Here it is....

A highest score of 58, and an average of 29 for the series. So, I think Inzi will be searching for a return to form. Will he find it in this match?

Sorry mike, I meant Inzi's test scores against SA.

He made his highest score of 95 in 1995, at the Wanderers.

Polly seems to be struggling a bit here.

I think we're both making salient points, wanderer!

Inzi has not scored runs recently against a weak attack, and does not have a good record on tour in south Africa....

Having said that, he may just set the record straight this time around.
