1.3 to AN Petersen, and he gets his first Test wicket with his third delivery, it was pitched full, inviting Alviro to drive, who went for it, the edge flew to first slip where Misbah made no mistake, Tanvir is pumped up, and why wouldn't he be? What a start for him, and for Pakistan!. 2/1
3.2 to HM Amla, Tanvir is on fire! he has taken out the immoveable object, it came in with the angle from back of a length outside off, cutting Hashim in half, who seemed to have got an edge on its way to the keeper, umpire de Silva thinks so as he sends Amla on his way, but replays show it came off the thigh, unlucky for Hashim, Pakistan are on a rampage here. 6/2
11.1 to GC Smith, Tanvir, you beauty! he gets the South African captain this time, it was short of a good legnth and moving away from outside the off stump, Smith had no need to play at it but had a poke nevertheless, the outside edge dipped on Adnan, who dived to his left and took it tumbling down, three for Tanvir, Pakistan are on top. 33/3
55.5 to JH Kallis, got 'em! he has his man this time, again this one jagged back in sharply off the seam after pitching back of a length outside off, Kallis had no clue how to deal with it, and looked to bring his bat down, but could only inside edge it onto his stumps, Tanveer strikes, big wicket. 212/4

0.3 to Mohammad Hafeez, and Steyn strikes with his third ball! it was angled into the stumps, Hafeez got his front leg too far across and tried to get his bat around it, but the ball crashed into the pads, he was struck right in front of middle and leg, and umpire de SIlva raises the finger immediately, replays show it would have hit middle and leg. 2/1
52.3 to Younis Khan, another Pakistan batsman has thrown it away! it was full outside off, he didn't get to the pitch as he went reaching for it, and hit the drive in the air straight to Amla at cover, who dived to his left to take the catch, Younis departs, Steyn has struck. 153/3
54.1 to Azhar Ali, Steyn is pumped up, he has taken out Azhar Ali, it was bowled on a length outside off, and he got forward, and just spooned it up in the air to Smith at mid off who pouched it gleefully, this after playing so well, what a soft dismissal, replays show he was a touch early into the shot. 156/4
106.1 to Misbah-ul-Haq, and gets his man with the first ball of the day! it was bowled on a length, right on the middle stump, Misbah pushed forward outside the line, was hit on the back leg, and umpire had no hesitation in raising the finger, he was a goner there, Steyn is pumped up. 317/7

117.5 to Umar Gul, plays one sweep too many, round the wicket, tossed up, he bent low to sweep it square, missed, it didn't turn at all, struck him on the pads and he was caught plumb. But replays show it flicked his glove on the way to the pad, we need to take a look at it again. Was very close to the glove as he went for the sweep, should the umpire have given him the benefit of the doubt? Close call, really close call upon watching the replay. 353/8
