Who cares about the run rate. Just get through the first 20 overs, and then worry about the runs.

Sadly the only way for Pakistan to do anything in the series is to look to bat the Misbah way and just grind out runs over a long period of time. They just don't have the quality to fight fire with fire whilst batting.

Some opening hours play that. Be good if Pakistan get at least 200 though, low scoring games always the best and most entertaining.

I don't think any side would be able to do that against what we've seen from Steyn today. You can count on the fingers of one hand the players who would have a prayer trying to counter-attack. Viv Richards in his pomp would fancy his chances against anyone. Maybe Barry Richards as well. FTBs like Hayden and Sehwag need not apply - they would be toast against this guy on this track.

the ball that got Hafeez was very much unplayable.

There is that very slight window with the SA attack once the ball is old. It's not much, because there's still Kallis, but if you can somehow put Philander off his length with a few hits, there's only Robin Peterson to deal with.

Pathetic bowling from South Africa; no wickets in over TEN OVERS now.. Morkel and Kallis really letting the pressure off after a nearly acceptable start from Steyn.

If they don't start bowling better here they won't even be able to enforce the follow on.
