South Africa v Pakistan, Port Elizabeth, 2nd Test, Day 1
Wickets tumble on dramatic day
4.4 Shoaib Akhtar to de Villiers, OUT, shocking shot from de Villiers. Short and wide of his off stump, he tried to pull it but was in two minds and might as well have uppercut it over the slips. •AFP
17.6 Mohammad Sami to Prince, OUT, flashes hard at that one, and it flies straight at first slip's face who does well to stand firm and take that palm upwards. Pakistan's tails are up and South Africa are, well, struggling is an understatement •AFP

25.1 Pollock to Mohammad Yousuf, OUT, GODDIM! Gone! The drinks break strikes again as Pollock swings this into the batsman who is struck very high on the pad - going over the top, perhaps? - and Doctrove raises his finger•Getty Images
12.5 Danish Kaneria to Smith, OUT, gone this time! Younis Khan did well there to keep his head at first slip after the parry from Akmal. Smith misjudges the wrong one, there's a big swish, and sends the edge to Akmal and it pops off his left glove to be snapped at first slip. A great start for Pakistan, three wickets early on, with Kaneria striking in his first over •AFP
29.2 Shoaib Akhtar to Kallis, OUT, GODDIM! That was brilliant bowling! Wide of the crease, angled in, straightened off the pitch from a full length, and Kallis's defensive prod ends up in the gloves of Kamran Akmal, low to his right. •AFP
Mohammad Asif went wicketless early on but ended with two to his name•AFP
36.4 Nel to Kamran Akmal, no run, gone! No! A thick inside edge which Boucher takes, diving low to his left, but despite Nel's roaring appeal it's given not out•Getty Images
33.1 Shoaib Akhtar to Pollock, OUT, sucker punch! Pollock was braced for something more venomous than that, and instead chipped a leg-stump half-volley into the incredulous hands of Mohammad Sami at square leg!•AFP
7.5 Ntini to Yasir Hameed, OUT, and another one bites the dust! Hameed pushes hard at the ball, which is short of a length and angled into the channel outside off, and de Villiers at third slip holds onto a sharp low chance! •Getty Images
