Summary Pakistan is trying to score 418 to avoid an innings defeat, at least.
DUBAI (AP) South Africa was penalised 5 runs for ball tampering against Pakistan during the third day Friday of the second cricket test.
Umpires Ian Gould and Rod Tucker sanctioned the Proteas after tea when they found a change in the condition of the ball.
Television replays showed Faf du Plessis was rubbing the ball over a zip on his thigh.
The umpires summoned South Africa captain Graeme Smith after the 30th over, changed the ball, and Gould signalled five penalty runs added to Pakistan s total as extras.
Pakistan was 67-3 at the time in its second innings, trying to score 418 to avoid an innings defeat, at least.
