Pakistan struggle to 209

Pakistan have struggled to a score of 209 in the second one-day international against South Africa in Dubai.

Nasir Jamshed fell to Morne Morkel in the third over with his side on just four runs, before Ahmed Shehzad and Mohammad Hafeez guided Pakistan past 50 until the latter lost his wicket on 26.

Misbah-ul-Haq came in and also developed a partnership with Shehzad before he was dismissed by Ryan McLaren, after which point the wickets tumbled.

Only Shahid Afridi put up much resistance to the Proteas attack with a quick-fire 26, but he fell to Morkel before the rest of the wickets were wrapped up for just 209.

It means that South Africa need runs wins to win.
