Jansen took three wickets in four overs to complete a five-wicket haul
South Africa fast bowler Marco Jansen helped put the brakes on Pakistan’s attempted fightback on the rain-delayed third day of the first test at Centurion as the tourists were 212 runs for eight wickets at tea, with only a slim 122-run lead.
Saud Shakeel and Babar Azam both scored fifties to overturn a two-run deficit at the start of play, which was delayed until after lunch because of a passing rainstorm. Babar scored his first fifty in his last 20 test innings in a much-needed return to form while Shakeel continued where he left off from their last test against England as Pakistan overhauled South Africa’s 90-run first innings lead and looked to set their hosts a testing target.
Babar had moved briskly from 16 not out overnight to 50 but was then tempted into swinging at a short and wide delivery in Jansen’s first over and caught by Corbin Bosch on the boundary.
