With this the South Africans lead by 411 runs which will ensure Misbah won't sleep in peace tonight. South Africa would like to carry on and impose a 500 plus lead whereas Pakistan would like to bundle up the Proteas as soon as possible and turn up with a better performance with the bat tomorrow. Catch us tomorrow as we bring the action of Day 3. Till then good bye, hope you enjoyed our company!
Since the South African second innings started it seems as if the pitch has turned into a batting track as the batsmen scored runs with ease. Petersen(27) collected 82 runs along with Smith who played well for his 52. Kallis went away cheaply but since then it was Hashim Amla(50*) and AB de Villiers(63*) who carried on the innings and batted out till the end of day, adding 108 for the fourth wicket partnership.
What a day of Test match it has been for the Proteas. It has been a creditable performance by them as they bowled out Pakistan for a mere 49 followed by a good batting performance, putting 207 on board having lost just the three wickets. Pakistan struggled from the word go and didn't get back into the game since then.
