Pakistan lost three wickets without scoring a run but book-ended the mini collapse with partnerships of 161 and 114* to finish the first day well placed at 313-5 in the first test against South Africa at the Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore on Sunday.
Opener Imam-ul-Haq (93) and captain Shan Masood (76) brushed off the loss of Abdullah Shaffique (2) to the third ball of the match and took the score to 163-1 before Masood was trapped lbw by offspinner Prenelan Subrayen (20-0-72-1) with Imam and Babar Azam taking the total to 199-2.
But the tourists bounced firmly back into the contest with three quick wickets either side of the tea break and were themselves superbly placed with the home side…

Interview with a pirate:
There was a pirate who had agreed to do an interview with a local tv station. The reporter was very courteous and professional, giving a bit of background as to the pirate\’s business. She then began interviewing him.
\”So Mr. Longbeard, are there any risks to your business? I see you have a peg leg- how did that come about?\”
\”Well, y\’see I were sailing along the coast of South Africa, looking to plunder some locals when as I boarded the small boat from the ship, a great white shark came up and got my leg clean off. \’twas scary yes, but thus is the life of a pirate.\”
\”Wow, that is pretty scary- well, how about your hook? What happened to your hand with that?\”
\”Oh now that\’s quite the tale, y\’see I were fighting a rival pirate, and we had locked swords. We had been fighting for a few hours, and were both terribly fatigued. I had a bit of exhaustion and confusion, and when I went to block one of his sword blows, I met him with me hand instead of me sword. Took it right off, but it shocked him so much I managed to get him back pretty good and have him submit. So the hook hand was given as a replacement.\”
\”Wow. Simply fascinating. Now, what about your eye patch? How did that happen?\”
\”Well, one day, a seagull was flying overhead, and I looked up. It pooped right in me eye.\”
\”… Well wow. I must admit, I wouldn\’t think just seagull poop could damage the eye that badly.\”
\”Oh, I forgot to mention… it were me first day with the hook.\”
