...DAY 3, SESSION 2...

However, the hosts suffered an early setback in their second outing. The spin of Simon Harmer proved relentless, striking twice in quick succession to remove both openers, Imam-ul-Haq and Shan Masood. Leading by 145 runs now, Pakistan desperately need a gritty, crucial stand to consolidate their lead, while South Africa will be sensing a quick haul of wickets. Can South Africa mount a comeback? To find out, tune back in at 7.30 am GMT for all the action after lunch.

An evenly poised session as first Pakistan's spinners stepped up to swiftly mop up the remainder of the South African innings. The tourists were dismissed for 269, handing the home side a handsome first-innings lead of 109 runs. It was a clinical morning spell that saw the last four wickets tumble without much resistance. The damage was done almost entirely by the spin attack. Noman Ali was the chief destroyer, registering a fantastic six-wicket haul. Sajid Khan played the perfect supporting role, claiming three vital scalps to ensure the South African tail did not wag.
