Pakistan have a huge task ahead of them if they are to draw the first Test of the Pakistan South Africa series, let alone win it in Dubai.

Hashim Amla and Jacques Kallis continued on their plunder together, not only making individual Test centuries but also, starring in a 242 run partnership that remain unbeaten because Graeme Smith declared South Africa's second innings at 318 for two, to give Pakistan a stiff target of 451 for victory.
Pakistan, for their part, intermingled between battle and having to deal with the fall of a wicket as they lost two en route to finishing the four day's play on 109. The victims on the day were the openers and if Pakistan are now defy South Africa, their middle order will have to play out of their skins with South Africa looking to complete unfinished business in the first Test.
