Younis, Misbah lift Pakistan in middle overs
March 07, 2015  08:09
 Pak 126-2 (25 ovs) vs SA | Scorecard

Leg-spinner Tahir comes back. Misbah completes his 5000 runs in ODIs with a single from the last ball and he is the only batsman to have done it without scoring a century.

South Africa building some pressure here as Morkel concedes just a single in the 22nd over followed by a maiden over from Tahir at the other end.

Morkel gives away four singles in the 24th over before AB comes back into the attack. With only four specialist bowlers in their line-up and Duminy going for runs, South Africa are desperate to get a few overs from someone else.

Two singles from three balls before Misbah clips it over the fine leg fielder for a four. The last ball is short as Younis pulls it over midwicket for another boundary to get 11 runs from the over. Poor bowling from AB but even worse has been his captaincy today.

Pakistan are looking on course for a healthy total as they reach 126 for two in 25 overs with Younis on 35 and Misbah on 15.
