Smith gone.

Amazed that comparison at the end of the fifth over was 42-2 to 39/0. When Pakistan were batting they gave the impression they were belting the bowlers all over the place. Smith and Kallis score just as quickly but barely seem to be attacking.

Wow. Pitch is offering plenty of assistance, should be really tough if Pakistan bowl well.

Not sure what Gibbs was doing bending down to pick up the ball after he got bowled. Probably just a bit stunned.

Was that the wrong 'un or the top spinner?

Hersch left a big old gate for it to go through anyway.
I think it was the leg-break. It just happened to go the other way off a crack or something. Seems bizarre, but it looks more like the leg break every time I see it. Definitely wasn't a topspinner, if it was a googly it was the most well-disguised one of all time.

Interesting thing - Afridi has scored over a 1000 test runs @ 37 with 5 hundreds. Also has about 40 wickets @ about 34.

South Africa's world cup history must be flashing in their collective mind. Someone will have to step up and play a great knock if history is going to be re-written. And yes how amazing is Afridi. I would love to see him in test cricket in his current form; he is looking like a class attacking bowler with a lot of variation and subtlety (!!).

Pakistan need to get Kallis soon.

South African fans must be feeling just a little nervous..... they know where this road leads to know.. been there too many times.
