S. Africa trails Pakistan by 121

South Africa was in a serious pinch after Pakistan routed the top order and left the Proteas reeling at 72-4, still trailing by 121 runs in the second innings on day three of an absorbing first test yesterday in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Alviro Petersen was out for 17, fellow opener and captain Graeme Smith for 32, Jacques Kallis for a duck on his 38th birthday, and Hashim Amla, the most prized wicket, was taken by left-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar in the last over of the day for a mere 10. Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq’s first test century in over two years helped the home team reach 442 and a formidable 193-run, first-innings lead. South Africa was bowled out for 249 in its first innings.
