This was always on the cards, the morning dew and the new ball contributing to Pak’s demise. The batting subsided in familiar fashion after reaching a promising 176 for 2. Their capitulation (8/72) was similar to SA’s (8/73) on the morning of day 2. SA now firm favorites to win this test

True.
And I would add that given the current state, too much hope should not be put on Pakistan as far as TESTs. We know that the current middle order has been in flux and somewhat out of practice, since YK just came back from a long lay off, MoYo out to injury, Misbah being Misbah (looking out of form and rusty), Azhar taking too long to long to score, Pakistan needs time to show some toughness in the middle order.
I think the current line up needs only the addition of MoYo, while Pakistan can keep rotating Azhar and Umar in the same 4 down position. Also they need a good quick to pair up at the top.
Why not try Tanvir A. next match and see how he does? or Sami is always ready and willing…
