With the 2nd new ball only 3 overs old i expect SA to use it well and get PAK out for around 300. The day 2 wicket is normally good for batting so i reckon SA will d end up with a score of around 190/4.
From the PAK point of view here are the plans
Batting plans
PLAN A: Inzi and Akmal to see of the new ball and play percentage cricket from there onwards.
PLAN B: If one of them gets out early then the other person should try to nurture the tail and play positive cricket and after the 8th wicket falls go on an all out attack.
PLAN C: If both Inzi and AKmal fall then the remaining players should be willing to take some blows and add 30-40 runs.
Bowling plans.
Open the bowling with Nazir and Asif. Attack Smith with inswingers while AB Develliars has a slightly lousy technique and Asif should be able to take care of him. Amla has been in great form either and should find it hard against Asif.
Attack Gibbs with Kaneria and make him play through the on side...the slider which Danish has recently developed can be quite effective against Gibbs.
