South Africa levelled the one-day series by beating Pakistan by six wickets in Rawalpindi.

The two sides will go into the final one-day international at the same venue on Sunday at 2-2.

South Africa's seam attack proved too much for Pakistan as they were bowled out for 157.

Andre Nel (4-39) and Makhaya Ntini (3-25) did most of the damage, while Shaun Pollock returned remarkable figures of 1-9 from his 10 overs.

Pakistan captain Yousuf Youhana made 60 off 75 balls for Pakistan, but six batsmen failed to reach double figures.

In reply, South Africa raced to the total with more than 10 overs to spare.

Jacques Kallis was unbeaten on 58 and Herschelle Gibbs made a useful 41.

Pakistan made three changes to the side beaten in Faisalabad on Tuesday.

Naved Latif, Shabbir Ahmed and Mohammad Sami were brought in at the expense of Abdul Razzaq, Saqlain Mushtaq and Umar Gul.

They were again led by Youhana in the absence of Inzama-ul-Haq (hamstring strain) and he chose to bat first after winning the toss.

Nel broke through in the sixth over when he found the edge of Mohammad Hafeez's bat and he was caught behind for a single.

Faisal Iqbal lasted only four deliveries and a stand of 43 between Yasir Hameed and Youhana was ended when Andrew Hall removed Hameed for 30.

Younis Khan helped Youhana put on 46 for the fourth wicket but his dismissal by Nel for 13 spraked a collapse which saw five wickets go down for 17 runs.

Former skipper Rashid Latif made 18 off 37 balls before he was bowled by Jacques Kallis and Sami was left on 16 not out when Shabbir followed.


Pakistan: Mohammad Hafeez, Yasir Hameed, Yousuf Youhana (captain), Younis Khan, Faisal Iqbal, Naved Latif, Shoaib Malik, Rashid Latif (wicketkeeper), Shabbir Ahmed, Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Sami.

South Africa: Herschelle Gibbs, Graeme Smith (captain), Boeta Dippenaar, Jacques Kallis, Jacques Rudolph, Mark Boucher (wicketkeeper), Shaun Pollock, Andrew Hall, Robin Peterson, Andre Nel, Makhaya Ntini.
