Match State: Lunch - Day 1
The morning session belonged to South Africa although Pakistan did
have a couple of opportunities to take a wicket
Gibbs was dropped by Youhana at backward point when on 29, a chance
that really should have been taken
Then Smith was put down by Khan at 1st slip when on 54 a sharp
chance that may be forgiven as it went very quickly after Smith
had skipped down the track
A hot day of some 34 degrees and it looks like Saqlain is going to
do a lot of bowling to allow the quicks to rest
Pakistan are again a bowler short and Zahid didn't look like taking
a wicket as he was way to short for much of his 5 over spell
Waqar will need to set a more defensive field in the second session
and gets his bowlers to keep the ball on one side of the wicket if
they hope to restrict the South African batsmen to a reasonable
score
At this stage South Africa look set to make plenty and with much
batting to come it could end up being a long tiring day in the
field for the Pakistani Team
Join us again at 11:40 GMT for live coverage here at Newlands

25.5 Saqlain Mushtaq to Gibbs, no run, forward defending, perhaps height
may have been the deciding factor in the appeal
25.6 Saqlain Mushtaq to Gibbs, FOUR, short and pulls hards, the deep
backward square had no chance

one to go for the day
light has been offered and the batsmen accept witht he light not
too pad but the whole ground in shadows
Match State: Stumps - Day 1
The day belonged to the home team with Smith and Gibbs doing their
best to destroy the Pakistani bowling
Records fell endlessly as South Africa was helped but some poor
bowling for a Pakistani side who were again short of a bowler
Generally they were far too short far too often and allowed the
openers to pull the ball at will
Saqlain too was generally poor, bowling a legstump line which
suited both batsmen and it was only later in the day that he took
the more conventional off spinner route
At that time he looked like he may get a wicket and was rewarded
with that of Gibbs who was unlucky to be given out caught at first
slip when the replay showed it had clearly come off the pad
The quicks too appeared more threatening when pitching it up and
Smith was bowled by a beauty from Zahid which swung a touch and
beat the defences although to be fair it looked a tired shot
South Africa no doubt will look to bat till around Tea tomorrow and
given the strength of their batting line up may well post around
650 on this excellent strip that has been prepared
Play will start 5 minutes earlier tomorrow to make up for the one
lost over so join us then as we bring you live coverage from
Newlands
You are welcome to send your comments to comms@cricinfo.com - Enjoy
your evening and see you tomorrow
Good morning and welcome to Newlands
Currently we have some high cloud above and alongside the mountain
but the sun and the wind (which is pretty brisk today) is slowly
clearing and we can expect another bright sunny day with
temperatures expect around 30 degrees
The pitch looks great with just a touch of deterioration caused by
the baking sun of yesterday
We can expect it to play in a similar fashion and Pakistan will
need to be far more disiplined in their bowling if they hope to
contain the South Africans to something reasonable
They did show signs of this in the final session yesterday and more
of the same is what is required particular as they set the stage
for the days play in the morning session
The Pakistani players are out on the field warming up and earlier
were sitting on the field having a long team talk with Coach
Richard Pybus
91 overs will be the order of the day to make up for the single
over lost yesterday due to bad light stopping play caused by a
very slow overrate of 12.39 to the hour
Word is that Taufeeq Umar is OK. His knee popped out and was put
back in on the field
He has received treatment and is expect to field today
Umpires on the field and followed by the Pakistani team
and now the South African batsmen
Taufeeq has indeed come out to field which is a positive sign for
the Pakistani side
New ball is taken immediately this morning and Waqar will open the
bowling to Kallis from the Wynberg End

Pakistan have done well this morning keeping the ball up instead of
planting it half way down the track and its shown in the mood of
the morning
More of the same is needed as South Africa looked to get through
the new ball initially
103.1 Waqar Younis to McKenzie, two runs, up on his toes and he angles to
a vacant 3rd man which is strange given that there are almost 500
on the board
103.2 Waqar Younis to McKenzie, no run, pitched up and defends out on the
off, vacant 3rd made more strange by the fact that two men are
back on the legside catching and only a couple of bouncers have
been bowled
103.3 Waqar Younis to McKenzie, one run, inside edge sees the ball squirt
down to long leg
103.4 Waqar Younis to Dippenaar, no run, up on his toes outside off and
defends towards cover
103.5 Waqar Younis to Dippenaar, no run, big bouncer pitched half way
down the track but some two foot outside off and Umpire Bucknor
calls it as one although it was harmless really
103.6 Waqar Younis to Dippenaar, no run, better one as it's straighter
but still too short and Dipps probably needed a tennis racket and
not a cricket bat to smash that one

104.3 Saqlain Mushtaq to McKenzie, one run, forward and angling it
towards long on
104.4 Saqlain Mushtaq to Dippenaar, two runs, off the back foot drives

Match State: Lunch - Day 2
New ball taken first thing this morning and honours are probably
even after this first session of the second day with 86 runs
scored and just the one wicket
South Africa looked to be consolidating as Pakistan were far more
disiplined in their bowling and tended to keep the ball up to the
bat given them more chance to not only contain but also to take
wickets
Kallis was unlucky to be given out lbw as he got a little inside
edge but McKenzie's guardian angel is definitly on his shoulder as
Umpire Venkat turned down an appeal for Saqlain which pitched on
and straighten and would have ripped out the middle stump
Bar one or two over Saqlain bowled round the wicket to the
righthanders and alternated between a 7-2 and 6-3 field
Waqar field placings were questionable at best with a 5-4 field for
Zahid and Sami without the luxury of a 3rd man leaving the
youngsters in two minds where they should be bowling
Given that South Africa have taken the shine off the ball and with
the quick scoring Boucher, Pollock and Boje to come 650 looks very
gettable and will have left Pakistan totally out of the match (if
they aren't already so)

cleared the stand and looked to go onto the railway line

End of over 135 (19 runs) South Africa 620/7
Saqlain Mushtaq 50-3-237-3 (10nb) - Kelvin Grove End
SM Pollock 36* (19b 4x4 2x6) N Boje 7* (6b 1x4)
This is the joint 3rd highest score made by South Africa in a Test
Match behind the 622 for 9 declared vs Australia at Durban in
1969/70,
the 621 for 5 declared vs New Zealand at Auckland in 1998/99 and
together with the 620 all out vs Australia at Johannesburg in
1966/67
Saqlain slots into 6th most conceded runs in an innings just to add
to all the bits and pieces that have taken place in the Test thus
far
The heavy roller is out and the ground staff are preparing the
wicket for the Pakistani innings
Pakistan will need 421 to avoid the follow on and looks far away as
this wicket has appeared to quicken up a touch and is also
starting to take some spin
No doubt debate will rage over the fact that Pollock didn't have
another lusty blow and break the record given that Tea has been
taken and another couple of minutes would not have made a
difference
Match State: Tea - Day 2

Pakistan probably just shaded the day when all things are
considered
There bowling was far more disiplined and it showed as they kept
the South African batsmen in check and the cricket we saw was of a
more standard nature
Dippenaar and McKenzie both got 50's but on a wonderful strip
Dippenaar was tentative and it showed in the slowness of his
innings
Pollock played a cameo 36 off just 19 balls but got his timing all
wrong as he declared looking to get 20 mins bowling before Tea but
only succeeded in finding the team 3 short of the record highest
innings by a South African team
This meant Tea was taken early and the long session that he was
trying to avoid
South Africa were tight in the early overs and Pollock got some
reward claiming the wicket of Saleem Elahi as he gloved one to
Smith at 3rd slip
Hayward was a dissappointment although one must say his Captain
must share some of the blame asking him to bowl into a strong wind
in which he looked uncomfortable throughout
Much like the Pakistani bowlers yesterday he was constantly short
and was milked also being unfortunate not to claim the wicket of
Taufeeq Umar (who looked very accompished once he'd got in)
when he slashed one with tremendous power through the hands of
McKenzie fielding at gully almost removing his fingers in the
process
From that point the Taufeeq and Khan played with easy, on what is
still a wonderful wicket to bat on, and batting through to the
close claiming the 2nd wicket partnership verses South Africa on
their way
Pakistan should look to get through the early onslaught and with
plenty batting to come and, as mention, a wicket that is still
made for batting are far from out of it just yet
On the other hand South Africa will look get amoungst them before
the morning break and possibly nip out the lower order with the
new ball shortly after lunch
The question will then be whether Pollock will enforce the follow-
on which surely can only be accessed according to the wicket
which currently looks unlikely and we could see South Africa in
again looking for quick runs before the final assault
Still there is a long way to go yet and in a match where records
have been shattered more of the same may due

Match State: Lunch - Day 3
South Africa took the morning session thanks to two wicket from
Nantie Hayward the 4th over before lunch
Khan lost his wicket to Pollock although the replay seemed to hint
at the fact that it may have hit him just outside the line,
marginal call for which the Umpire can be forgiven
Inzamam looked all class having plenty of time in the world to play
his shots although he was given a life on 10 by McKenzie who
missed a tough chance as he dived full length to his left and
would have been labeled brilliantly had he held on
Pakistan undid all the good work of the morning when they lost the
two wickets shortly before lunch with Inzi perhaps kicking himself
as he dragged a shortish one from Hayward to Dippenaar at deep
backward square
Hayward was far better today and with his Captain whispering in his
ear often enough did deserve the wicket of Youhana as he got one
to move away and had him guiding it to Boucher
His two wickets may just be the catalist that South Africa have
been looking for with the new ball due expect an hour or so after
lunch giving them two bites before and after Tea as well as giving
Boje time to try and work some magic prior to that
Pakistan have quite a long tail if one includes the youngster
Kamran and it will be up to the two at the wicket to pull Pakistan
through
Taufeeq Umar looked superb today and showed wonderful maturity
farming the bowling after the two wickets had fallen, taking
control of the situation and the pressure off Iqbal
An intriguing 2nd session awaits us so join us at 11:40 GMT for the
afternoon session remembering you are welcome to mail comments to

and that is the days play
Match State: Stumps - Day 3
Pakistan were well on track before something of a spectacular
attack some them loose their last 6 wickets for 12 runs in a space
of 39 minutes and 38 balls
Pollock didn't really have an option and asked them to come back
and try again having Taufeeq Umar dropped by Dippenaar at 3rd slip
diving full length to his left
South Africa kept their disipline and after Saleem Elahi and Younis
Khan had gone early kept to the plan bowling in the channel
Pakistan rebuilt their innings through Taufeeq and Inzamam and
threw it away going down the wicket to Boje and finds himself
stranded as Boucher removed the bales
Youhana wasn't in a mood to hang around and promptly destroyed Boje
taking 24 off one over (a two, 4 fours and a six) all wonderful
strokes a good lesson on the art of playing spin
Youhana dominated the 50 partnership with Iqbal after Taufeeq had
left the scene to a beauty from Pollock bowling with the wind for
the first time in the match
In the end he scored 47 of the runs with Iqbal contributing just 2
but gave it all away when he should have been playing for stumps
in the final over
and drove it to Kallis at a deep mid on when not quite to the
pitch tracking down the wicket for the umpteenth time
With some 184 still to go in order to make South Africa bat again
and South Africa believing they have opened up an end it's
difficult to see this match going past lunch tomorrow
Tickets for the match will be sold at the ground from 06:30 GMT and
will be R20 for adults and R10 for children under 14 and one can
sit where ever you wish

Good morning and welcome as we greet you from a Newlands that is
bathed in sunlight and day that can only be described as
magnificent
Expect highs of 31 degrees and a slight cooling breeze wafting
across the ground
I expect the beaches are going to be full today on what we expect
to be the final day of this Test match

up that much

Strains of We are the Champions through the sound system has the
crowd up on there feet applauding the players
All the players coming out for the presentation
Younis says poor performance all round cost them the game
Batsmen have left the down throughout the series including the one
dayers
Valuable knowledge gained for the World Cup regarding the wickets
and how they should play
Gibbs gets Man of the Match and a check for R 10 000 and a Nokia
7610 for his wonderful knock
Weren't too worried about the records, more they stayed in the more
they gee'd each other up and it was a special moment
Ntini gets Man of the Series, a check for R 30 000 and a Nokia 7610
for his 13 wickets in the series
Says everything they worked on came to fruition
Enjoy bowling with Polly was always a dream and have a friendly

Pollock receives the check of R 115 000 for winning the match and
the series
Was clinical, very proud of how the guys played
Margins indicate how well they played, reward for their hardwork
Thanks to the supporters and looking forward to there next outing
on this Ground the opening match of the World Cup
Pakistan threw it all away on the third day loosing their middle
and lower order and a further two wickets at the start of their
follow-on innings
In all we saw 8 wickets fall for 21 runs in 71 mins off ust 87
balls
Still they didn't look totally out of it with Inzi and the talented
young opener Taufeeq at the wicket
Once they had departed and Youhana (after a cavalier innings) went
out 3 balls from the close it was all over bar the shouting
South Africa came out this morning with a mission and took just
over an hour to wrap up the match by an innings and 142 runs
On the way Pakistan had lost their last 6 wickets for just 42 runs
This meant that Pakistan lost their lower and middle order in both
innings for a paltry 54 runs in the space of 22 overs
That in essence was the story of the match on a wicket that was
made for batting and on which their opponents had made the meager
sum of 620
With this win South Africa have lifted themselves to the number one
position on the ICC log edging ahead of Australia based
essentially on their superior away record
We hope you enjoyed our live coverage and look forward to bringing
you more from what is guarenteed to be a full house in Feburary
for the start of the World Cup
