Pakistan lead South Africa by 14 runs in 1st innings on 2nd day
Pakistan v South Africa, 1st Test, Abu Dhabi, 2nd day: Manzoor ton breaks top-order drought
Pakistan 263 for 3 (Manzoor 131*, Masood 75) lead South Africa 249 (Amla 118, Duminy 57, Irfan 3-44, Babar 3-89) by 14 runs
Misbah and Manzoor punch gloves as they make their way back. This has been Pakistan's day from the beginning. Their openers ended a drought by posting 135 and the solid base has helped players like Misbah play with ease and less pressure.
Shan Masood showed good temperament and importantly the batsmen rotated the strike well and didn't just look for boundaries. Manzoor showed he has the hunger and patience to occupy the crease.
South Africa would have learnt a lot about the right lengths to bowl and that the lack of a specialist spinner is a handicap. They need to make the new ball count tomorrow.
