Highlights Day 3
South Africa reasserted their control on the opening Test in Dubai with Johan Botha and Morne Morkel combining to run through Pakistan and earn their team a significant advantage which had been extended to 271 by the close. Botha took three wickets during the morning session in a teasing spell, then after lunch Morkel wrapped up the innings with the second new ball to finish with for 5 for 54 and leave South Africa well placed to push for victory
Highlights Day 2
Pakistan’s session. Despite being a bowler short, they have evened out this contest at the end of the morning session on the second day. Gul kicked things off with three wickets, including that of AB with a lovely delivery that jagged in, and the spinners then stepped up. Just 54 runs for South Africa this session and they’ve lost six wickets.
Umar Gul picked up his third wicket this morning to reduce South Africa to 329 for 6 on the second day of the first test against Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday. Last 3 wickets lost for 12 runs.

Graeme Smiths 100 was backed up nicely by Peterson and Amla. Jacque Kallis on 53 and Paul Harris the night watchman on 0 will resume the innings tomorrow with South Africa in a good position.

If this 2 can bat till stumps it will be great for us.
@ superBul:7 – Super, So far looks like they will. Hope so.
Going out for a bit catch up later. Cheers Super.

Wahab Riaz to Amla, OUT, Amla’s gone, late and important breakthrough for Pakistan, he played away from his body to an unthreatening ball outside off, he gets a thin edge to the keeper, Adnan Akmal, who celebrates his first Test victim
HM Amla c †Adnan Akmal b Wahab Riaz 80 (152b 7×4 0x6) SR: 52.63
Both teams have agreed to play under lights in this series, so we will have 90 overs of play everyday. The lights are on now. More importantly the new ball has been taken
Umar Gul to Harris, no run, slanting down the leg side, Harris jumps across the stumps and then tries to get some bat on the ball but misses
Commentary on Cricinfo-
Peter: “Smith passed Border for leading runs as captain and Kallis did the same for total runs… I love it when SA gets the better of Australia.”
The batsmen have been offered the light, they take it and it will be stumps. Clearly, this has been South Africa”s day. Already 311 for 3, and they still have Kallis at the crease, with the AB de Villiers, Prince and Boucher to come.
I thought they said 90 overs will be bowled, anyway a good show by SA. I hoped for a score around 350-360 but they slowed down to much in the last 10 overs. Last 10 ovs 28/1 RR 2.80
Tobias from Zimbabwe: “Following up on the comment about Kallis having scored more runs and having taken more wickets than the entire Pakistan team… He has also held more catches than the entire Pakistani eleven.”
Hello folks, got home from Morgenzon in Mpumalanga at 04:05 this morning… slept till 08:30… and since then things have moved rather quickly here at the office.
No rest for the sinner!

Pakistan’s session. Despite being a bowler short, they have evened out this contest at the end of the morning session on the second day. Gul kicked things off with three wickets, including that of AB with a lovely delivery that jagged in, and the spinners then stepped up. Just 54 runs for South Africa this session and they’ve lost six wickets.
What a total collapse. 😯
After a great start thought we could get over 500 🙄 now we will be lucky to get a few more runs after lunch.
@ Puma:
380 will now be a miracle.
Dont want to blame anybody but we batted negatively and never took their bowlers on. Kallis is just Kallis, he on his own mission and to hell with his team mates, they must look after themselves.
Lets hope the tail enders can get us to 400,its a pity that we collapsed,would have been great to get to 500.
Agreed Super,Kallis is a legend but you have to say that on many times during his career he seemed to bat for his average and not what was best for the team.. But its tough to chirp one me the greatest players of all time.
@ Winston:
I really dont want to debate his commitment its just that he gets so focussed on what he does that he sometimes forget who his batting partners are.
Pakistan have completed a fine comeback here. 307 for 2 has become 380 all out.
@ superBul:25 – Super, Pity about this collapse thought we were onto make over 500. Then I am not surprised that is the Proteas for you.
We need to bowl smart now.
