Pakistan collapse in Karachi Test

---

KARACHI, Oct 2 (BBC): South Africa blasted out Pakistan's top order cheaply to seize the advantage after two days of the first Test.
Pakistan had taken the last seven South African wickets for 98 runs in Karachi to bowl the tourists out for 450, but they then collapsed themselves.
Having raced to 71-0 in the 15th over, they slid to 127-5 at stumps, spinner Paul Harris taking 2-18 in 12 overs.
South Africa will aim for a big effort Wednesday to give themselves the option of enforcing the follow-on.
However, with the pitch only expected to deteriorate more and more, they would probably not be keen on having to bat last.
After a first day dominated by South Africa's batsmen, and in particular Jacques Kallis who reached 118 not out in a score of 294-3, Tuesday it was the turn of the bowlers to bite back.
Leg-spinner Danish Kaneria became the sixth Pakistan bowler to take 200 Test wickets when removing Kallis and Ashwell Prince in the morning.
Kallis added 37 to his overnight score before edging a back-foot force. For the 25th time in his Test career, he had failed to convert a century into a double ton.
The ultra-patient Prince (36 off 97 balls) then misread Kaneria's googly to send the bowler an easy return catch and Pakistan were back in the game.
Soon after lunch the scoreboard read 392-6 as slow left-armer Abdur Rehman, in a memorable debut, earned a fortunate decision from umpire Mark Benson.
Mark Boucher appeared to make no contact with an attempted sweep, but Pakistan's appeal for a catch at the wicket was upheld.
No doubt encouraged by his maiden Test wicket, Rehman then accounted for numbers 8,9 and 10 cheaply to claim figures of 4-105.
All the while, AB de Villiers was doing his utmost to farm the strike and played some commanding strokes.
But the support was not there and with only Makhaya Ntini for company he eventually fell to Umar Gul for 77.
Pakistan avoided losing any wickets in the early stages of their reply, to be 17-0 at tea.
But it all went horribly wrong in the final session.
First, Kamran Akmal was trapped lbw by Harris, before the next two wickets fell within four deliveries of each other.
Mohammad Hafeez was brilliantly caught by Kallis at slip off Harris, and Andre Nel bowled Younis Khan with a ball that kept low.
Inexperienced duo Faisal Iqbal and Misbah-ul-Haq were forced into their shells and it was no surprise that neither lasted until stumps.
Kallis duly bowled Iqbal off the inside edge and Misbah edged an ecstatic Dale Steyn behind.
FIRST TEST, KARACHI: South Africa 450; Pakistan 127-5 (day two, stumps)
