pitched outside leg stump, with the last ball of the next over. Philander then took wickets with the first two balls of the following over. A long vigil by Azhar Ali ended when he edged an outswinger to wicketkeeper AB de Villiers. Ali made 65 off 193 balls with seven fours. Umar Gul edged the next ball and Alviro Petersen flung himself to his left at third slip to take a spectacular catch. Tanvir Ahmed and Saeed Ajmal lasted until lunch, which was taken at 157 for eight. Ajmal was bowled by Peterson, attempting a sweep, before Mohammad Irfan fended a short ball from Steyn to gully. South Africa were without fast bowler Morne Morkel, who left the field with a hamstring injury on Saturday, but Peterson bowled accurately for all but two overs from the Kelvin Grove end, enabling Smith to use Philander and Steyn in short bursts. Philander, who took five for 59 in the first innings, had match figures of nine for 99. The tall Irfan was given the new ball by Pakistan and gave Petersen a torrid time. He unsuccessfully sought a review after umpire Steve Davis turned down a leg before wicket appeal. The replays showed the ball pitched on and was striking the outside of leg stump in the 'umpire's call' area. There was more frustration for Irfan when Petersen was caught at mid-on, only for the bowler to be no-balled after a television replay. (AFP) AT AT 02171856 NNNN
