PRETORIA :Pakistan trailed by only two runs as they reached 88-3 in their second innings when bad light brought a premature end to day two of the first test against South Africa at Centurion on Friday, leaving the hosts holding the upper hand.
Pakistan's bowlers hit back after the tourists were bowled out for 211 on the first day of the first Test against South Africa at SuperSport Park on Thursday. Khurram Shahzad struck twice and Mohammad Abbas claimed a late wicket as South Africa reached 82 for three at the close. Dane Paterson and debutant Corbin Bosch did most of the damage for South Africa after Pakistan were sent in to bat on a well-grassed pitch. Paterson, enjoying a late-career surge at the age of 35, took five for 61 - his second five-wicket haul in successive Tests - while Bosch took four for 63. Kamran Ghulam made a counter-attacking 54 off 71 balls for Pakistan.
PRETORIA :South African fast bowler Corbin Bosch took a wicket with his first ball in test cricket and together with Dane Paterson had reduced Pakistan to 209 runs for nine at tea on the opening day of the first test at Centurion on Thursday.
Debutant Corbin Bosch became only the fifth South African bowler to take a wicket with the first ball of his Test career for the Proteas on Thursday. The right-arm quick made his Test debut for South Africa in the series opener against Pakistan in Centurion. He was introduced in the 15th over to break up Pakistan's opening partnership of Saim Ayub and skipper Shan Masood. With Masood looking resolute in his approach, Bosch's first Test delivery turned both his and South Africa's wish into reality. He pitched the ball up and caught Masood off-guard just after the drinks break.
