Debutant Nauman takes 5-35 as Pakistan beat South Africa

Debutant Nauman Ali took 5-35 as Pakistan wrapped up a seven-wicket win over South Africa with a day to spare in the first Test in Karachi.

Resuming on 187-4, South Africa were bowled out for 245 thanks to slow left-armer Nauman and leg-spinner Yasir Shah, who finished with 4-79.

Azhar Ali hit an unbeaten 31 as the hosts easily reached a target of 88 before tea.

The final Test in Rawalpindi starts on Thursday, followed by three Twenty20s.

The series marks South Africa’s first trip to Pakistan in 14 years, after a deadly 2009 attack on Sri Lanka’s team halted visits by foreign sides.
