SA struggle in Lahore

---

LAHORE, Oct 8 (Cricinfo): Pakistan took the honours on day one of the second and final Test in Lahore by reducing South Africa to 259-6.
All the tourists got starts on a good batting pitch and they were going well when skipper Graeme Smith (46) and in-form Jacques Kallis (59) added 53.
But Danish Kaneria removed both before Ashwell Prince (63) and AB de Villiers (45) stabilised the innings again.
Prince was bowled by slow left-armer Abdur Rehman and De Villiers was run out before bad light ended play early.
They went into the game leading 1-0 and needing to avoid defeat to clinch their first subcontinent series win outside Bangladesh since 2000.
Pakistan, who were comfortably beaten in Karachi, brought in prolific batsman Mohammad Yousuf and former skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq, who will retire from international cricket after the game.
But after Smith won the toss, it was South Africa who were in early difficulties as Herschelle Gibbs sliced Umar Gul to gully for 13 and Mohammad Asif bowled Hashim Amla playing no stroke for 10 to make it 47-2.
Asif deserved more for an impressive first spell in which he found plenty of movement off a bouncy pitch to beat the other batsmen several times.
South Africa 259 for 6 (Prince 63, Kallis 59, Kaneria 2-73) v Pakistan.
