Interesting to see Jamshed given preference. Taufeeq who didn’t do much wrong. Encouraging seeing NJ reign himself in + battle for his runs
In his last 3 innings for Pak the number 3 blocker Azhar Ali has faced 70 deliveries for 10 runs at the expense of getting out 3 times. @fredboycott
Hafeez scored them at a good lick today. For a player who is technically susceptible, attack is the best form of defence here in SA
Ontong, Parnell and Martin van Jaarsveld who was down at Kent are the names I recognise in the SA XI for this warm up
After 8 consecutive test series opening up together+putting on most 100+ Pak opening stands Hafeez+Taufeeq combo has come to an end it seems
Yet another 100+ opening stand for Hafeez + Jamshed. They’ve put on 4 in 50 over games+ first time they partner in the longer form they do, too
Our 3 best batters at 3, 4, and 5 only manage 11 between them. Only 1 knock left before Jo’Burg
Misbah started his tour with a 4, played out a couple of dots and then departed
When Eng toured + won the Ashes they had 3 warm ups before Brisbane & same amount when winning in India. Pak have 1 before facing World NO1s
Apart from the usually highly dependable Pak middle order faltering, the signs in first innings of tour were positive
Safraz in the runs and tail wagging – more encouraging signs here. The day of rabbits at number 8, 9, 10, 11 have long gone
First wicket of the tour. Junaid strikes.
Gul strikes 31/2
yet another 100+ opening stand for Hafeez+Jamshed. That's 6 for Pakistan at all major levels by them in just 12 innings I believe
Time for Azhar to#digin
Our 2 best batsmen need time in the middle. Azhar Ali and Younis Khan. Will be the key partnership to break in the test series for RSA

Misbah 43* from 100 (4 4s and 2 6s)
Misbah 50 not out at stumps. lead by 312 with 5 wickets in hand. Only Misbah of the middle order have got runs in this one. Safraz 19no

Misbah always gets out early in the morning after looking well set and unbeaten at stumps the previous day. Happens way too often
Winning draw in the warm. Ideally should have at least 2 more before 1st test but that will have to do with such an absurd schedule
