JOIN USJacques Kallis and Hashim Amla both hit centuries in compiling a record third-wicket stand of 242 for South Africa against Pakistan, allowing the tourists to declare on 318 for two in their second innings.
Pakistan made a solid start and they reached 41 before Mohammed Hafeez, who scored a breezy 34 off 47 balls, edged a delivery from paceman Dale Steyn to first slip.
Taufeeq Umar (22) and Azhar Ali (37 batting) then defied their opponents for 18.2 overs with a second-wicket stand of 34 before Umar was caught at first slip off a ball from Johan Botha. Ali and Younis Khan (11 batting) saw their team to stumps although Ali suffered a painful blow on his thumb from a Steyn bouncer.
Amla, who brought up his 11th Test ton off 190 deliveries, ended not out on 118 off 225 balls, striking 10 fours during his knock. Kallis was equally impressive as he recorded his 36th Test century to finish unbeaten on 135 off 218 balls.
