The Hollywood Bear Stolfins are in Blumfintain tomorrow, taking on the nights in the CSAT 20 challenge. They got the first win of the tournament on Sunday and will be hoping to continue that momentum tomorrow. Head coach Quentin Friend knows that there's a long season ahead that they need to get prepared for. I think our guys know what needs to be done to get over the line. Just unfortunately in this first four game we weren't able to do that but I think we can take a lot of confidence out of beating Western Province at homes and super happy for the boys. It was an important win for us and you know we set ourselves a target to guard and win these last three games and find the right momentum you know leading into the next competition because that's also vital importance. They showed what they could do. Marcus Ackerman batting beautifully and they bold nicely at the death to the Dolphins to restrict Western Province then they knocked off the runs. They will have a settled squad travelling to Blumfintain for their cash on Wednesday. No changes to that squad. And then staying with cricket it is day one of the second test match between Pakistan and England. The host Pakistan won the toss chose to bat first. It was slow going throughout the day. Pakistan finished the day 259 for the loss of five wickets. That was thanks largely to a debut 100 from Kamran Gulam. He got 118 from 224 deliveries. He was eventually bold by Shaw and Bashir. 77 was made by Saimayou but at the top of the order of 160 balls. Muhammad Rizwan is still there. He's on 37. He'll hope to take Pakistan well over their 300 run mark amongst the wickets for England. Jack Leach, the pick of the bowlers, 2 for 92 showed Bashir got one. Riding cost got one as did Matthew Potts. And we're going to finish with some football news. Bhafana Bhafana have a shot at qualifying for Afghan tonight. Should they avoid defeat against Congo in Brazil? They need one point with one round of matches to come after tonight's clash. A draw win will see them into the main draw at Afghan next year. They still have to face Uganda in Group K. Uganda do top the group going into the final two rounds. They take on South Sudan in their return match this evening. That's all for me for this hour. For these host radio sport team, I'm Nick Tatham.
