Amla will miss the final Test

Proteas team manager, Dr Mohammed Moosajee, on Tuesday gave the following update on Hashim Amla's participation in the second Test match against Pakistan and Dale Steyn's right hamstring tightness:

"Hashim's wife hasn't given birth yet, so he won't be playing in tomorrow's Test match" Moosajee said. "Dale sustained what was initially thought to be a right hamstring strain but fortunately the MRI scan revealed that there was no major pathology so we are treating it as tightness. He will undergo a fitness test either this afternoon or the latest this morning. The challenge with a tight hamstring is the fear of aggravating it. It could easily become a strain or progress into a tear, so we will be managing it carefully especially with a long tour ahead of us."

Pakistan lead the series 1-0.

Sunfoil Dolphins, meanwhile, have included Yusuf Abdulla in their squad for the Momentum One Day Cup action in Port Elizabeth on Wednesday.

He replaces the injured Calvin Savage.
