SA’s bowlers fight back

MONDAY, 8.30AM:

SOUTH AFRICA’S bowlers staged a surprise recovery on the last day of the final Pakistan-South Africa text, taking six wickets for 79 in 30 overs at lunch time. Hero of the recovery is Shaun Pollock, who has taken four wickets, three of them for only five runs.

The Pakistan team need to reach 142 to win. While yesterday it was generally agreed the South Africans had no chance, they now show signs of possibly doing the impossible. Follow our links below ….
