Imam misses ton on Test comeback as Pakistan end Day One on 313-5 vs SA

Imam-ul-Haq

Opener Imam-ul-Haq missed out on his comeback Test century as Pakistan recovered well from a brief collapse to reach 313-5 against world champion South Africa in the first Test on Sunday.

Imam played a fluent knock of 93 in his first Test match after almost two years and together with captain Shan Masood, who made 76, gave Pakistan a strong start with a 161-run second-wicket stand.

The three South African spinners toiled hard, but caught a break when they claimed three quick wickets without a run before Mohammad Rizwan (62 not out) and Salman Ali Agha (52 not out) gave Pakistan an early edge.
