Taufeeq Umar (71) and Inzamam (60) led the way for Pakistan, while the South Africans were let down by their spinners and - more surprisingly - their catching, usually the most reliable aspect of their game.
Mark Boucher dropped Taufeeq and Herschelle Gibbs spilled Inzamam, but the drop, which perhaps cost them the match was Gary Kirsten's missed chance off Malik towards the end of the day.
Though Taufeeq was dismissed in that session, caught by Graeme Smith at mid-on when he failed to time a lofted shot off Robin Peterson, Pakistan had laid the foundation to make a serious assault on the target.

I already told u that some good players are wasted and the Exposure and pressure at domestic Level is not enough and likewise a player who scored a marvellous 250 in a domestic match couldnt score even 20 in a international Match......

 Pakistani Defence Forum -> Should Taufeeq Umar Replace Moin Khan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
I think we can really bolster our batting line up if we get taufeeq umar in there to replace moin khan, moin is not really much of a batsman, sure he can have a bit of a slog but taufeeq would chip in with some really valuable runs and he can keep quite decently.
Moin is not just one of the world's best wicket keepers, he is also a major moral booster for the team, he helps in crucial decisions, he helps in field setting decisions, not to mention the fact that he can be deadly with the bat at the lower order.
in addition tho that, taufeeq omar's quality of keeping will be low like dravid and we'll end up giving 10-15 more runs.
