    Published on

    Debutant fast bowler Corbin Bosch, batting at No 9, hit an attacking 81* and took South Africa to a 90-run first-innings lead on the second day of the first Test against Pakistan in Centurion.

    The Proteas were bowled out for 301 in reply to Pakistan’s 211.

    South Africa were just two runs ahead when opener Aiden Markram was eighth man out for 89.

    But Bosch, who has a first-class batting average above 40, shared stands of 41 with Kagiso Rabada (13) and 47 with Dane Paterson (12).

    Bosch hit 15 fours in a 93-ball innings to follow up his first-innings bowling figures of four for 63.
