South Africa vs Pakistan 1st Test, Day 1 Highlights: Pakistan's bowlers hit back after the tourists were bowled out for 211 on the first day of the first Test against South Africa at SuperSport Park on Thursday. Khurram Shahzad struck twice and Mohammad Abbas claimed a late wicket as South Africa reached 82 for three at the close. Dane Paterson and debutant Corbin Bosch did most of the damage for South Africa after Pakistan were sent in to bat on a well-grassed pitch. Paterson, enjoying a late-career surge at the age of 35, took five for 61 - his second five-wicket haul in successive Tests - while Bosch took four for 63. Kamran Ghulam made a counter-attacking 54 off 71 balls for Pakistan. (Scorecard)
