0
20.5: Saim Ayub to David Miller, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! What a terrific piece of anticipation! Terrific bit of keeping by Mohammad Rizwan. Miller walks off with a wry smile on his face. He cannot help but smile at that catch. Fuller in length, outside off, David Miller gets down and looks to paddle it around the corner. The ball hits the bat flush alright but Rizwan quickly gets across to his right, expecting the ball to come his way. It comes thick and fast to him and he reacts in defense actually, trying to save himself, rather than catch the ball. Luckily for him, it hits his gloves and pops up back in the air. The skipper takes it on the second attempt and Pakistan are overjoyed! Two quick wickets for South Africa as they slip from 120/3 to 123/5! Miller departs for 3 (6) and the hosts need another 185 from 157 balls.

0
20.4: Saim Ayub to David Miller, A little slower through the air, DM goes back and tries to help it around the corner, but finds square leg this time!

PAK Batting N Shah 5(2) S Muqeem 0(1)

1
46.6: Marco Jansen to Naseem Shah, Angling across, on a back of a length, over off, Shah looks to fend it down on the off side but the ball climbs onto him. It rolls off the face of the bat in front of backward point for a single. 11 runs off the final over. Pakistan finish on 308/9!

4
46.5: Marco Jansen to Naseem Shah, FOUR! Gets it through! Jansen misses his mark and ends up serving a low full toss, on off, Naseem stays deep in the crease and drills it to the right of mid off for a boundary.

0
46.4: Marco Jansen to Sufiyan Muqeem, Bye! Banged in short by Jansen, over off and middle, Sufiyan Muqeem skips down the track and tries to slap it away on the off side. He fails to connect but Naseem is alert enough to sneak in a bye as the ball goes through to the keeper.

0
46.3: Marco Jansen to Mohammad Hasnain, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one! Four and gone for Hasnain. A length ball, around middle and leg, Hasnain moves leg side and looks to heave but cannot clear deep mid-wicket. David Miller takes the catch with ease. Pakistan are now about to get bowled out.

4
46.2: Marco Jansen to Mohammad Hasnain, FOUR! That will help! Overpitched, around middle, Mohammad Hasnain backs away a touch and hammers it through the covers! 300 UP FOR PAKISTAN! 4 more balls left.

0
46.1: Marco Jansen to Tayyab Tahir, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! How shall we desribe this? Can we call it a giraffe plucking an apple from the tree? And technically, can this be called as a team hattrick? Because South Africa have actually struck thrice in 3 legal balls. A length ball, around middle, Tahir looks to slap it straight back but the tall Jansen sticks out his left hand and plucks it out! Tahir departs for 28 (24) and Pakistan are 298/8 with 4 balls left!

0
46.1: Marco Jansen to Tayyab Tahir, WIDE. A bouncer on off, too high, Tayyab Tahir sways away. Too high and one for the bouncer signalled as well.

End of over 46
PAK297/7
PAK Batting S Afridi 0(1) T Tahir 28(23)

0
45.6: Kagiso Rabada to Shaheen Afridi, OUT! CAUGHT! Two in two for Rabada! Lands it on a length from over the wicket, on middle and leg, Shaheen Afridi clears his front leg and goes for a hoick across the line. Gets more height than distance on it and it goes very high in the air but only as far as deep square leg. It is Rassie van der Dussen who keeps his eyes on the ball all the way through and settles under the skier to complete another reverse-cup catch.

0
45.5: Kagiso Rabada to Salman Agha, OUT! TAKEN! Agha holes out! Another delivery on a back of a length, outside off, Agha sets himself up deep in the crease to slap it away on the off side. He has no intention of keeping the shot along the ground and ends up hitting it straight down the throat of the fielder at deep point. He could not have picked out Rassie van der Dussen in the deep any better. Rassie takes a reverse-cup catch near his chest. Agha's entertaining knock comes to an end. He goes for 48 (33).

0
45.4: Kagiso Rabada to Salman Agha, On a back of a length, slower one and it is inside the tramline on off, Agha gets close to the line of the ball but ends up leaving it alone.

1
45.3: Kagiso Rabada to Tayyab Tahir, Around off, wristed through mid on for a single.

4
45.2: Kagiso Rabada to Tayyab Tahir, FOUR! Well, Tahir wants to join in on the fun! The boundaries keep on coming for Pakistan. Dug in short, outside off, Tayyab Tahir leaps and slaps it over cover. Almost like a forehand shot in tennis. The ball slows down near the boundary but there is no one in the deep on that side. Boundary.

0
45.1: Kagiso Rabada to Tayyab Tahir, A length ball, outside off, Tayyab Tahir gets across and looks to lap it fine but misses.

End of over 45

PAK Batting S Agha 48(31) T Tahir 23(20)

2
44.6: Corbin Bosch to Salman Agha, Full and straight on the stumps. Salman Agha looks to flick it, but it instead takes a leading edge and goes straight up towards mid off. Corbin Bosch runs back towards the ball but it just falls short and he collects it on the bounce while the batters run through for a brace.

6
44.5: Corbin Bosch to Salman Agha, SIX! Cheeky shot from Salman Agha. Full and on the middle stump, coming in at searing pace. Salman Agha premeditates his shot, makes himself some room, lines himself up for a scoop and pulls it off intelligently in the end. The ball sails over the wicketkeeper as it goes into the stands for a biggie!

2
44.4: Corbin Bosch to Salman Agha, Short and aimed towards the batter, coming off the wicket. Salman Agha swats it towards deep backward square leg for a brace.

6
44.3: Corbin Bosch to Salman Agha, SIX! Agha connects and connects well this time! Bosch misses his mark and serves it right in the slot, on off, Agha opens his body up to access the off side and angles the bat face to thump it over cover for a biggie.

0
44.2: Corbin Bosch to Salman Agha, This curves away a touch in the air, full and outside off, Agha stays low to make the connection and tries to launch it back over the bowler's head but misses.

1
