Cricket: Pakistan quick Hasan Ali takes 10 wickets as hosts complete test series sweep against South Africa

Seamer Hasan Ali has taken a career-best 10 wickets as Pakistan blitzed South Africa with the new ball to complete a 95-run victory in the second and final test in Rawalpindi and claim the series 2-0.

Chasing a target of 370 for victory, which would have been a test record in Pakistan, South Africa were well placed at 241/3 just after lunch on the fifth day, following a century from Aiden Markram (108).

But when the home side took the new ball, Hasan (5/60) and Shaheen Afridi (4/51) decimated the South African middle order with expert swing bowling to dismiss the visitors for 274.

Hasan took career-best match figures of 10/114 in the match as South Africa lost their last seven wickets for the addition of only 33 runs on their return to Pakistan for the first time since 2007.
