CRICKET:Spinner Paul Harris took five wickets and wicketkeeper Mark Boucher set a record for dismissals as South Africa nosed ahead of Pakistan on the third day of the first test yesterday.

First innings centurion Jacques Kallis was batting on 18 and Ashwell Prince 11 as South Africa closed on 76 for three for a lead of 235.

Playing in only his fifth test, his fourth against Pakistan, Harris took 5 for 73 to help dismiss the home side for 291 at tea after South Africa's first-innings score of 450.

Three of Harris's victims in the second session were stumped by Boucher as he eclipsed the mark of 395 set by Australia's Ian Healy. Boucher reached 396 when stumping Umar Gul (12).
