Wickets tumble

South Africa led Pakistan by 212 runs with five wickets left as the third and final test accelerated toward a conclusion yesterday after just two days’ play at the Wanderers in Johannesburg. The Proteas were 135-5 in their second innings at stumps after 13 wickets fell on the second day in Johannesburg on a pitch offering fast bowlers on both teams plenty to work with. Twelve wickets fell on the first day. A result is almost certain now with South Africa chasing a 3-0 series whitewash and Pakistan, with the series gone, hoping for something to lift spirits.
