Robin Peterson and Dale Steyn leads a South African come back which missing the second Test against Pakistan equally poised at the end of the Day 3 at Newlands Saturday. Pakistan were 100 for 3 in their second innings at the Stumps, Pakistan lead by 112 runs.
Peterson smashed 84 runs to allow South Africa to get inside 12 runs of visitors 1st innings total of 338 runs and Dale Steyn bowled well to claimed two wickets as Pakistan lost their first three wickets for just 45 runs. At this stage South Africa were faintly on top but Azhar Ali and skipper Misbah-ul-Haq joint a largely watchful unbeaten stand of 55 runs .
South Africa were held back by a reappearance of a hamstring injury to Morne Morkel, who left out field after bowling one ball in his 2nd spell. Peterson guided a belligerent performance by South Africa's lower order batsmen as they improved from an overnight 139 for 5 and ended with 326 all out.
