Pakistan moved into position for a rare victory against South Africa on Thursday as the top-ranked Proteas slipped to 130-6 in their second innings by lunch on the fourth day of the first test.
South Africa still needed 63 runs to wipe out the first innings deficit of 193 runs with A.B. de Villiers fighting a grim battle on 52 and Faf du Plessis not out on 8.
Resuming at the overnight 72-4, nightwatchman Dale Steyn (7) resisted for 44 more deliveries and took the team’s total to 104 before he finally ran out of patience and was clean bowled by left-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar off his third delivery of the day.
J.P. Duminy looked shaky in his brief stay as seamer Junaid Khan had him trapped leg before wicket for zero.
