South Africa vs Pakistan 2nd Test
Hello and welcome to our Live blog on the first day of the 2nd Test between South Africa and Pakistan. The Proteas are on a roll with their bowling attack but the batting appears to be still a cause of concern. But not as much as for Pakistan, who have been absolutely horrendous in the past few Tests.
