====================================================================================
Overs: 80 II Score: 203/4 (Misbah: 57*, Shafiq: 56*)
So, the proceedings on the Day 4 have started and Misbah-ul-Haq has quickly reached his 18th Test fifty with a boundary off Morne Morkel. Along with Asad Shafiq, Misbah has kept the flag flying amid a whirlwind that the four-prong South African fast bowling attack led by Dale Steyn has turned out to be in this Test.
====================================================================================
Overs: 75 II Score: 183/4 (Misbah: 44*, Shafiq: 53*)
At the end of day 3, Pakistan were 183 for the loss of 4 wickets. Pakistan are going really well. The batsmen have shown a resolve to hang in and play to the merit of the ball. Pakistan have done remarkably well to recover after losing their first three batsmen. Despite the Pakistani fight back South Africa are still the team on top going into day 4.
