Pakistan v South Africa: Debutant Nauman Ali takes 5-35 as hosts win first Test

It was a dream debut for 34-year-old Nauman

The tone for the day was set when nightwatchman Keshav Mahraj was bowled by Hasan Ali with the first ball of the morning.

Quinton de Kock soon followed, the captain managing only two before being caught by Abid Ali at short leg off Yasir.

Temba Bavuma offered some resistance with a gritty 40 off 93 balls, which included a 42-run stand for the seventh wicket with George Linde.

Having lost three wickets for 10 runs on day three, South Africa suffered their second mini-collapse of the innings as 34-year-old Nauman cleaned up the lower order.

Linde was caught smartly by Imran Butt at leg slip for 16, Kagiso Rabada was bowled through the gate and Anrich Nortje sliced to backward point.

Bavuma was trapped lbw as Nauman completed his five-wicket haul to finish with match figures of 7-73.

Pace bowler Anrich Nortje gave South Africa hope by removing Abid Ali and Imran Butt in the first over after lunch to reduce Pakistan to 23-2.

However, Babar Azam – in his first Test as captain – and predecessor Azhar Ali played with patience and fluency in a 63-run stand to settle any nerves.

Although Babar was trapped lbw by Keshav Maharaj with two runs required, Fawad Alam – who scored a century in the first innings – sealed victory with a cut for four.
