SA vs PAK, 1st Test: Bowlers bring Pakistan back into contest on opening day

The Hindu  

Pakistan’s bowlers hit back after the tourist was bowled out for 211 on the first day of the first Test against South Africa at SuperSport Park on Thursday. Dane Paterson and debutant Corbin Bosch did most of the damage for South Africa after Pakistan was ent in to bat on a well-grassed pitch. Pakistan coach Aaqib Javed said in a pre-match television interview that he didn’t expect a significant difference in approach from his players after they beat South Africa 3-0 in a one-day series which ended on Sunday. Ghulam went for his shots, sometimes to the frustration of the South African bowlers, and his feisty effort included an exchange of words with Kagiso Rabada - South Africa’s most impressive bowler despite not taking a wicket - and Verreynne.
