INZI LEADS BY EXAMPLE

Inzamam-ul-Haq has lead by eample and struck a magnificent 50 to keep the pressure on South Africa A. ul-Haq has been very strong through the covers, and his ability to loft the ball into gaps has helped him greatly against all the bowlers. South Africa must get Inzi out soon before he can go on to a century or even further...

Pakistan have the upper hand here today on the first tea break of the series. With two batsmen at the crease and looking steady they are in a good position to strike an extra 70-80 run in the next session if they perform at their peak...

STEYN TRAPS RAZZAQ

Dale Steyn has broken the crucial partnership for Pakistan by removing Abdul Razzaq for 22. Razzaq was caught on the crease to a ball that stayed low and skidded through onto his pads. It was an unlucky way to go but in the end there was no other option as the umpire's finger slowly rose. The South African's are now looking more comfortable with the scoresheet but one more wicket before the close of play would be just what the doctor orded...

Kamran Akmal enters the arena?

[m_vaughan]

Razzaq was very unlike him in that innings of 22 from 71 balls. Inzy holds the key for the visitors right now. Kamran Akmal is a good batsmen and can be involved in a partnership.

TWO WICKETS IN TWO OVERS

South Africa A are making a huge run at the Pakistan team after Pretorius claimed his third wicket in the next over after Razzaq's departure. Akmal was drawn forward into a tentative prod at a ball which shaped away from the right hander. The ball found the outside edge of the bat and deflected to slip where McKenzie took a nice catch down low...

Curse of the commentator strikes.

Afridi has been known to get Pakistan out of trouble.
*Hopes he hasn't cursed Afridi*

INZI STRIKES HIS CENTURY

Inzamam-ul-Haq has scored a prolific hundred under pressure from the South African's and his collapsing team-mates. ul-Haq is looking in superb form, with no chances at all being given to the opposition in his masterful ton. He will have to keep up this pace to ensure a good total is posted...

I.ul-Haq 100(122)*
S.Afridi 1(7)*
M.Yousuf 46(67)
Pak: 5/196 (57)
Pakistan leads by 196 runs
5 wickets in hand
Current partnership: 4 runs

Inzamam has been in great form all over the ground, no area has been left un covered in this world class batsmen?s quick and dangerous century?

 

[surendar]

Inzi leading in front...thts a great century..but 196/5 looks very balanced at the moment!!!!

 

[Left_Hander]

South Africa 'A' are doing great. If they pick up Inzi, then I think that will help them massively. I take it you aren't much of an ODI man, Cricket_60 . 5 Test Matches is quite a lot without any ODI in there.
