2nd Test: Pakistan in control despite Anrich Nortje's fifer

Anrich Nortje

Pakistan took four early South African wickets to dominate the second Test in Rawalpindi on Friday, despite a five-wicket haul by touring fast bowler Anrich Nortje.

South Africa were in trouble at 106-4 after the second day's play on a tricky Rawalpindi Stadium pitch, trailing Pakistan's first innings total of 272 by 166 runs.

At stumps, South African skipper Quinton de Kock was on a breezy 24 with five boundaries and Temba Bavuma-surviving two close appeals-was unbeaten on 15 after Pakistan's medium pacer Hasan Ali took two wickets off two balls.
