4.52pm Big total from Pakistan - 91 runs in the last ten. Set up brilliantly by Imam-ul-Haq, who became the second-fastest ever to 1000 ODI runs and racked up his fifth ODI ton. The entire middle order came together to support him with rapidly-paced innings that took the pressure off Imad. Pakistan in a wonderful position to go back into the series lead. Join us in a bit for the chase.
"It was a very special hundred. Coming to South Africa, we believed we could win,"says Imam. "It's been a long tour. My selection and all that stuff.. I am a nephew of the chief selector. To all the people who criticised me over the year, the media and the people, I want to thank them. This has been possible because of them. The support staff has backed me throughout to go out and just perform. I want to thank God and my parents, who always pray for me. without them, it's difficult for me to stand here. it's a good wicket to bat on. They have a good batting line-up and this will be a good game."
Muhammad: "@faysal I don't agree. If Malik comes in early and he gets out which looks more likely looking at his form, then hafeez will be even more under pressure to score runs and Pakistan could end up scoring fewer runs"

Faysal: "I think Malik & Hafeez need to swap their batting positions. Malik is not getting ample time in the middle whereas lately Hafeez is doing very well when he comes into bat at the later part of the inning."
