Johannesburg, Feb 2: South Africa spearhead Dale Steyn produced the remarkable figures of 6-8 on Saturday as Pakistan collapsed and was routed for 49 on the second day of the first test at the Wanderers.




Steyn's bowling figures represented the third cheapest six-wicket haul in the history of the five-day game, and his performance gave South Africa a 204-run lead in the first innings.

Having claimed the first three Pakistani wickets in his first two overs of the day, Steyn returned after lunch to claim the last three without conceding a further run.

South Africa captain Graeme Smith opted not to enforce the follow-on, with the match barely into its fifth session.
