# Cricket: Pakistan captain, Shan Masood, won the toss and chose to bat first at the start of the first of two tests against South Africa at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore today. The home side included three specialist spinners and two seamers on a dry and cracked pitch. The Proteas did the same with the inclusion of Senuran Muthusamy, Prenelan Subrayen and Simon Harmer. Kagiso Rabada and Wiaan Mulder are the seam bowling options. In a surprise move South Africa dropped batsman David Bedingham and replaced him with the young Dewald Brevis.
