Pakistan put under pressure
SHEIKHUPURA. Pakistan, Oct 19: Adam Bacher missed his maiden century by fust four runs
altemoon period and were dismissed on the stroke of tea.
The Pollock-Klusener partnership was broke by Azhar Mahmood, who was brought in
but half-centuries by captain Hansie Cronje. Shaun Pollock and Lance Klusener helped South Africa to a first innings total of 402 against Pakistan on the third day of the second Test here today, reports Reuter.
Pakistan needing 253 to avoid a follow-on in the match which has been reduced to four days after a complete wash-out on the first day. had replied with 53 for one when poor light halted play 10 overs early.
All Naqvi, who made 115 in the drawn first Test at Rawalpindi, was on 30 and night-watchman Saqlaln Mustaq had yet to open his account after captain Saeed Anwar was bowled for 17 by off-spinner Pat Symcox in his second over.
The day. however, belonged to the visitors who took advantage of a placid pitch to thrill the holiday crowd at the local stadium with their splendid stroke play.
South Africa began the day at 154 for two with Bacher on 78 and Daryll Cullinan on one.
Pakistan had an immediate success when Cullinan, failing to add to his overnight score, was removed by off-spinner Saqlaln Mustaq in his first over with Mohammad Wasim holding a bat-and-pad catch at
for his first spell of the day. He trapped Klusener leg before wicket for 58.
Mahmood also knocked out debutant Mark Boucher's mid-
silly point.
Their next success was the wicket of Bacher who fell victim to the nervous 90s when in sight of his maiden Test hundred fie 24-year-old Transvaal batsman survived one particular anxious over from leg-spinner Mustaq Ahmad when he was beaten at least three times.
The willy bowler eventually got him when the young batsman snicked a sharply turning delivery to Moln Khan behind the stumps.
Bacher batted wifi concentration and showed his promise by hitting 12 fours and a six in his 192-ball knock which was spread over 236 minutes.
He left at 179 and soon afterwards Pakistan gained another success at 215 when Jonty Rhodes was bowled round his legs by Mustaq for 11.
Cronje was the fifth to go at 252 but not before he exhibited a wide range of attacking shots. He was severe on fie three Pakistani spinners, twice lifting Mustaq for big sixes, and repeated the shot against All Hussain Rizvi.
He was going for another big hit when he skied Mustaq and Waqar Younis substituting for Inzamamul Haq. held a comfortable catch at mid-on.
Pollock and Klusener — fie two all-rounders — further punished the Pakistani bowlers by adding 96 runs for the seventh wicket.
The South Africans added 131 in the morning session and went to lunch at 285 for six. They added further 117 in fie
die stump for six before Rizvi claimed his two first Test wickets.
He had Symcox caught at first slip by Mohammad Wasim for 17 and then ended the splendid knock of Pollock, who was the last man out. caught near the long-off boundary by All Naqvi for 82.
The knock was Pollock's highest Test score, surpassing his previous best of 79 against India in the Johannesburg Test in January.
Mushtaq emerged as the most successful Pakistan bowler with four for 122 from a lengthy spell of 38 overs.
