Six of his wickets were to catches in the slip cordon before he finished off the innings by trapping Younis Khan leg before wicket after the Pakistan veteran had battled for two-and-a-half hours and 86 balls to make 33. Younis barely had time to take his pads off before he had to face the second ball of the follow-on innings. Imran Farhat, who made the top score of 30 in the first innings, did not open the batting in the second innings after being struck on the hand in the first innings. Azhar Ali opened with Hafeez, with Younis moving up to number three. AB de Villiers earlier reached his 16th Test century and his third against Pakistan. He went on to make 121 before being caught in the deep off left-arm opening bowler Rahat Ali, who finished with six for 127 on his Test debut as South Africa were all out for 409. Vernon Philander made a Test best score of 74 in helping De Villiers stretch their overnight partnership of 86 to 129 &mdash; a record seventh wicket stand for South Africa against Pakistan.
