1
6.6: Kamran Ghulam to David Bedingham, Full again, around middle and leg, David Bedingham nudges it to deep square leg for a single. They just need 1 as the scores are on the level now.

1
6.5: Kamran Ghulam to Aiden Markram, On a nagging length, around off, Aiden Markram pushes it to long off from the back foot for a single.

1
6.4: Kamran Ghulam to David Bedingham, In the air, and a shout of catch, but it lands ahead of long on. Tossed up, around off, from around the wicket, David Bedingham chips it in the air and takes a single from the long on.

1
6.3: Kamran Ghulam to Aiden Markram, Outside off, Markram punches it down to long off for one more. A boundary away now, are South Africa!

1
6.2: Kamran Ghulam to David Bedingham, Around middle, David Bedingham works it through mid-wicket for a run. 5 more required now.

1
6.1: Kamran Ghulam to Aiden Markram, 'OH NO!' screams Markram in disgust. That was a buffet ball. Short and outside off, Aiden Markram rocked back to cut, aiming for the boundary, but only found backward point. Should have been a dot ball now but that was so fiercely struck that the fielder misfielded and the batters took a single. 6 more needed for the win.

End of over 6
SA51/0
South Africa Batting D Bedingham 40(26) A Markram 11(10)

0
5.6: Salman Agha to David Bedingham, Gives air to the ball this time, full around middle, angling in, David tucks it to square leg off the front foot for no run. South Africa need only 7 more runs now.

0
5.5: Salman Agha to David Bedingham, Flatter, quicker, around off and middle, David Bedingham drives back to the bowler off the front foot.

1

6
5.2: Salman Agha to David Bedingham, SIX! HUMONGOUS! Bedingham has a flight to catch. The target is in single digits now! Short ball, around off, Bedingham jumps down the track and swings it miles over cow corner! 9 needed to win now.

4
5.1: Salman Agha to David Bedingham, MISFIELD, FOUR! Pakistan themselves want this to end in a hurry. Landed outside off, David Bedingham hits it hard down the ground. There is long on in place and he gets to his left too as well, but only parries it behind.

0
122.1: Kagiso Rabada to Mir Hamza, OUT! CAUGHT! Kagiso Rabada finishes it off and gets his third too. Pakistan's innings comes to an end at 478/9 with Saim Ayub unavailable. KG bends his back and digs it short of a length, on off, Mir Hamza is hurried by the pace and bounce as he goes after it with a pull shot. Balloons it off the outer half of the bat and as far as Kwena Maphaka at backward point who takes it well with the sun directly into his eyeline.

End of over 122
PAK478/8
Pakistan Batting M Abbas 0(3) M Hamza 16(19)

0
121.6: Keshav Maharaj to Mohammad Abbas, Full and around middle, quicker one, Mohammad defends.

0
121.3: Keshav Maharaj to Aamer Jamal, OUT! CAUGHT! One too many from Aamer Jamal and Keshav Maharaj gets his third. Maharaj bowls it nice and full, on middle and off, and Jamal looks for a reverse sweep. The length isn't that full but he goes with the shot anyway. Scoops it straight down the throat of David Bedingham at backward point who takes the simplest of catches. Pakistan are now 478/8 and lead by 57 runs.

4
121.2: Keshav Maharaj to Aamer Jamal, FOUR! Runs flowing thick and fast all of a sudden! Fired in full, on leg, Jamal sweeps it fine past the keeper. Not very convincing as it came off the glove but he will take it.

3
121.1: Keshav Maharaj to Mir Hamza, Short and turning in over off, Hamza backs away and cuts it square on the off. Aiden Markram gives the ball a chase and the batters take three runs.

End of over 121

1
120.6: Kagiso Rabada to Mir Hamza, Around middle and leg, Mir taps it through square leg for a single. The stand moves to 30 (33) and PAKISTAN LEAD BY 50!

6
120.5: Kagiso Rabada to Mir Hamza, SIX! IMPERIOUS! A length ball, outside off, Mir Hamza stays back and slams it straight back over the bowler, nearly straight over the sightscreen! Shan Masood loved that in the dressing room.

0
120.4: Kagiso Rabada to Mir Hamza, Outside off, pushed towards point. Hamza wants a single, but is sent back.

0
120.3: Kagiso Rabada to Mir Hamza, Short of a good length, outside off, Mir Hamza has a feel for it but the ball zips past the outside edge.

0
120.2: Kagiso Rabada to Mir Hamza, Back of a length, just outside off, Hamza swats it across to mid on. Looks like he is going for it now!

2
120.1: Kagiso Rabada to Mir Hamza, Full, on middle and off, Mir Hamza winds up and throws his blade slashing hard. Gets it over mid off for a brace.

0
54.2: Kwena Maphaka to Khurram Shahzad, OUT! CAUGHT! For a change it is not Bedingham. A length ball, wide outside off, Khurram throws his bat at it. The ball flies in the air, but so does Tristan Stubbs brilliantly at backward point, to his right. Second wicket for Maphaka on debut and PAKISTAN HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 194, TRAILING BY 421!

0
54.1: Kwena Maphaka to Khurram Shahzad, Gone totally wrong. Perhaps, Maphaka was trying to bowl the slower ball, but ends up bowling it miles outside off. Khurram Shahzad still tries to go after that and misses.

End of over 54
PAK194/8
Pakistan Batting M Abbas 0(1) K Shahzad 14(27)

0
53.6: Keshav Maharaj to Mohammad Abbas, Almost another one! Slower one, full and on off, Abbas almost chips it back to the bowler.

0
53.5: Keshav Maharaj to Mir Hamza, OUT! CAUGHT! David Bedingham takes a brilliant catch and Mir Hamza's small little cameo comes to an end as Pakistan lose their 8th wicket. Keshav Maharaj slows it up and pulls the length back by a fair bit, on middle and leg. Hamza sees the short length and quickly rocks back to tuck it across. Tries to turn it around past short leg but is undone by the turn. Clips it straight in front of Bedingham at short leg who takes a sharp low catch. Mir Hamza walks back for 13(13) and Pakistan are now 194/8!

0
53.4: Keshav Maharaj to Mir Hamza, Quicker and full, on middle, Mir Hamza tucks it just short of short leg.

1
53.3: Keshav Maharaj to Khurram Shahzad, Much more air, outside off, fuller in length, just 74 kph, Shahzad drives it through the covers for a single.

0
53.2: Keshav Maharaj to Khurram Shahzad, Slower through the air, around middle, Khurram looks to work it again, across the line and gets a leading edge, which goes just wide of Maharaj, towards mid off.

2
53.1: Keshav Maharaj to Khurram Shahzad, Full, down the leg side, Khurram Shahzad works it with soft hands through mid-wicket and gets a couple.

End of over 53
PAK191/7
Pakistan Batting M Hamza 13(11) K Shahzad 11(24)

4
52.6: Kagiso Rabada to Mir Hamza, FOUR! Hamza is going after it! Short of a length again but this time, just outside off, Mir Hamza backs away a bit and thrashes it past point for a boundary.

6
52.5: Kagiso Rabada to Mir Hamza, SIX! Well, he connects one and connects very nicely! Back of a length, not a lot of pace behind that delivery from KG. Hamza stands tall and pulls it over mid-wicket for a biggie.

0
52.4: Kagiso Rabada to Mir Hamza, Mir Hamza is not shying away from swinging hard! On a length, just outside off, coming in with the angle, Hamza throws absolutely everything at it but fails to make a connection.

1
52.3: Kagiso Rabada to Khurram Shahzad, Well, that has actually been played really well. Rabada directs a short ball at the rib cage and Shahzad initially ducks. But then, he realizes that the ball is coming right at his head, as the bounce is not that much. In reflex action, he tries to fend it off and the ball spoons off the bat, just over short leg. A single taken.

0
52.2: Kagiso Rabada to Khurram Shahzad, A short ball, around middle, Khurram ducks.

4
52.1: Kagiso Rabada to Khurram Shahzad, FOUR! Streaky, along with a bit of a misfield. On a good length, around off, Khurram Shahzad stays back to defend but the ball moves away slightly, bouncing a bit as well. Takes the outer half of the bat and goes on the bounce to Marco Jansen at third slip. But Jansen gets a bad bounce there and the ball escapes past him to the deep third fence.

0
141.3: Mohammad Abbas to Kwena Maphaka, OUT! BOWLED! DONE IT THIS TIME! South Africa has been bowled out for 615! This last partnership hasn't bothered much for Pakistan. Third for Abbas as he bowls this on a good length, around off, nipping back in, from around the wicket, Kwena Maphaka tries to defend it with the full face of the bat but plays well inside the line. The ball zips past the outside edge and rattles the stumps. The debutant doesn't make any addition to the scorecard and departs for a duck.

0
141.2: Mohammad Abbas to Kwena Maphaka, A huge cheer from the crowd as Kwena Maphaka has defended it solidly! Slightly fuller than good length, just outside off, Kwena Maphaka comes forward and blocks it off the front foot.

1
141.1: Mohammad Abbas to Kagiso Rabada, Good length, around middle, coming in, from around the stumps, Kagiso Rabada tucks it to deep fine leg for a single.

End of over 141

South Africa Batting K Maharaj 40(35) K Rabada 5(9)

0
140.6: Khurram Shahzad to Keshav Maharaj, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Khurram Shahzad gets his second! Short of a length, over middle, Keshav Maharaj swivels back and looks to pull but the extra bounce and pace on offer don't allow him to connect right. He only manages to get an outside edge that lobs back to the keeper Mohammad Rizwan who takes a simple catch. His 6th catch in the inning and South Africa lose their ninth.

1
140.5: Khurram Shahzad to Kagiso Rabada, Full, on off, Kagiso Rabada drives it to long off for a single.

1
140.4: Khurram Shahzad to Keshav Maharaj, Length, on off, Keshav Maharaj taps it to the left of the bowler and gets to the other end. He moves into the 40s now!

0
140.3: Khurram Shahzad to Keshav Maharaj, Hits the deck hard, on a length, over middle, Keshav Maharaj backs away and cuts it hard but finds the fielder at point.

1
140.2: Khurram Shahzad to Kagiso Rabada, Full and outside off, Kagiso Rabada cracks his drive to the right of mid off for just a single.

1
140.1: Khurram Shahzad to Keshav Maharaj, Angling in, on a length, around middle and leg, Keshav Maharaj tucks it in front of deep mid-wicket and gets a single.

1
139.6: Mir Hamza to Keshav Maharaj, Slightly shorter than good length, around middle and leg, Keshav Maharaj hops back and nudges it wide of mid-wicket for a single. He is racing closely to his fifty.

1
139.5: Mir Hamza to Kagiso Rabada, Back of a length, around off, from over the wicket, Kagiso Rabada tucks it to deep square leg and runs in hard. He calls for a double but is sent back by Maharaj and will have to settle with a single only.

3

4
139.3: Mir Hamza to Keshav Maharaj, FOUR! CHEEKY THIS TIME! A deft touch! On a good length, outside off, from over the wicket, going away, Keshav Maharaj plays it very late as he opens the face of the bat off the back foot towards deep third for another boundary.

4
139.2: Mir Hamza to Keshav Maharaj, FOUR! WOW! WHAT A SHOT! Maharaj is just showing Pakistan what he is capable of! Good length again, outside off, slanting away, Keshav Maharaj shuffles to the off stump and heaves it over the mid on fielder for a boundary. 600 comes up for South Africa with this one.

0
139.1: Mir Hamza to Keshav Maharaj, Good length, wide outside off, from over the wicket, going away, Keshav Maharaj moves across and covers the line to slap it straight to cover. No run.
