South Africa reached their victory target of 161 before tea on the third day to win by five wickets and claim the series 2-1. Jacques Kallis and Ashwell Prince shared a century stand to guide South Africa to a series-clinching win over Pakistan in the third Test on Sunday.

Kallis scored 51 and Prince remained unbeaten on 59.

Pakistan were dismissed for 157 in their first innings, to which South Africa replied with 183. The visitors were bowled out for 186 in their second innings.

A mere 40 runs were scored in the 29.5 overs bowled in the morning session as Pakistan kept the batsmen under pressure. Kallis reduced the remainder of the target to double figures with Sami’s next delivery, which he drove through mid-on for another four.

Kallis and Prince were finally separated just five runs away from victory when paceman Shahid Nazir clean-bowled Kallis, who faced 149 balls and hit seven fours in a patient innings of 51.

AB de Villiers, who scored four not out, drove Kaneria down the ground for two to end the match.

Jacques Kallis was declared MoM and Man of the Series. Both teams move on to the one-day format.
