After 18 overs?
They contributed enough for their cause.
Come on it is only day 3 lol They can come back tomorrow
We were 170-2 and could have squeezed a lead of 150 at least but in typical pakistan fashion we collapsed once again
Surely it is gonna be 3-0
No 5ffer for styn...
Another moral victory
I Wanna shaan in odis
Hearing Heysman is worst then hearing Tahir Shah's Angel
India also lost the first 2 but atleast won the dead rubber.

But Pakistan wasted the opportunity as they had a chance to bat first in both the tests.
Even Pakistan can win the dead rubber. Now, that the momentum is with Pakistan.
41 is not that easy a target against world's best bowling line up. SA have their task cut out.
Amir and Abbas hat tricks would do nicely first thing 2moz![]()

Just shows that these hacky bouncy bowlers can be brought down to earth. Great batting by Shan, Asad, and Babar. Even Shaheen and Abbas showed a lot of fight. We're gonna win at Jo'burg for sure. This innings has lifted our team.

India matched South Africa toe to toe and lost only in the crucial junctures it took ab special in both matches to defeat India .
Pakistan was suppose to go down under 150 but they were able to enforce another day on the Proteas which is a small success.
Shan Masood has been the find of the series, he faced the new bowl today and almost carried the team thruout the innings. Showed the world Pakistan second string is miles better than the Pakistan batting XI which is keeping their place due to corruption and nepotism of selectors. Taught Babar Azam and other seniors how to play pull shot.
Anotherplayer who helped Pakistan survive another day was Abbas. His 10 odd runs outshine the selfish Babars and Shafiqs who were playing for themselveswhile he played for the total. Saved Pakistan from innings defeat and contributed 30+ runs with no. 11 to give Proteas batters some time in the middle.
Good job taking the match into the 4th day, huge moral victory for the visitors.
Also there were some tactical blunders from India that led to their downfall, ala dropping bhuvi and rahane.
Next match will be going to Day 5 and Pakistan might win if they play like this in the first innings as well ..
Faf won't dare to ask Pakistan to bat if he wins toss again ....
Why not Day 1 was probably the best day for bowling with fresh pitch and dodgy opposition batting line up
Faf felt the pressure after not deciding to take the extra 30 mins. Clearly afraid of a mini top order collapse trying to get quick runs. He was quick to move the field when Pakistan batted well. Is he a true leader of men? Zipper-gate makes me think maybe he's not the most sensible person when under pressure.
Umpire Joel - giving Sarfraz out was a big blow, there was so much doubt on height and with the way the pitch behaving was as well. That was vexing.

Fakhar missed his century by 93 runs. unlucky...
This is the best performance I've ever seen in South Africa by an Asian side against a world class South African attack. This attack is equivalent to that of a peak Donald, Pollock & co. they'd toss subcontinent teams aside as if they were rag dolls.
Twice has Pakistan been in a commanding position, twice they've surrendered the initiative 170/2 should have been 350/5 at stumps, what a pity. Been a very competitive series. Poor application (mental), than actual talent cost them the series. To be fair they don't tour South Africa very often.
