Ntini claims 300th Test wicket

Fast bowler Makhaya Ntini became the third South African to take 300 wickets on the second day of the second Test against Pakistan on Saturday.

Pakistan were 223 for nine at lunch in reply to South Africa's first innings of 124.

The tourists resumed on 135 for six but Ntini, who went into the match with 295 victims and took four wickets on Friday, reached his milestone in the eighth over of the day when he found the inside edge of Mohammad Sami's bat.

He showed off his under shirt saying, Moingi Express-300- You Little beauty! in celebration.

Wicketkeeper Mark Boucher took the catch and Ntini celebrated by lifting his playing shirt to reveal a T-shirt which said "Mdingi Express 300".

Ntini, from the Eastern Cape village of Mdingi, joined a list featuring the retired Allan Donald and team mate Shaun Pollock. He ended the session with five for 41.

Pakistan slipped to 191 for nine after fast bowler Jacques Kallis had Shoaib Akhtar caught by Boucher for four and medium pacer Pollock had Danish Kaneria caught by Herschelle Gibbs in the gully for one.

But South Africa's progress was held up by Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, who was 62 not out at lunch and shared an unbroken stand of 32 for last wicket with Mohammad Asif, who had yet to score.

South Africa squandered a difficult chance to dismiss Inzamam for 35 with the total on 195 for nine. Inzamam edged a pull shot off Kallis and Boucher leapt high but failed to hold the catch.

South Africa lead the three-match series 1-0.
