- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 Irfan has struck second ball! Ingram squared up by extra bounce, short of a length and Ingram was pinned to the back foot, held his bat out to fend it away, took the outside edge and the men behind the wicket knew instantly he was gone 0/112.5 so much for the fuss over the caught behind appeal a few balls back! Smith was lunging forward to drive, Ajmal tossed it up slower from round the wicket, Smith was beaten and he failed to drag his back foot back, Akmal whipped off the bails immediately 48/39.1 pulled straight to square leg! Tanvir dug it in short and Duminy swiveled and looked to pull over square leg, he couldn't have picked the fielder more accurately, Amin didn't have to move much 38/214.6 he has been given out lbw and Faf wants it reviewed, landed a touch wide outside off and spun back in appreciably, Faf shuffled a long way across the stumps and looked to clip it away to the on side, hit on the pads, you could see the leg stump, Hawk Eye shows that hitting the leg stump and he has to go 54/418.2 Ajmal juggles and takes it on the second attempt! Tossed up on the stumps, the doosra, AB went down the track but checked his shot, ended up chipping it tamely back to the bowler, Ajmal held out his right hand over his head, fumbled and ensured he took it on the second attempt 63/534.1 Afridi takes another low catch, another soft dismissal, gives it more air, Miller was forward looking to chip it away but ended up spooning it low to Afridi who fell forward and took the catch 125/726.3 the 'X' celebration is out! Afridi bowls that quicker and fuller outside off, McLaren gets forward and spoons a low catch, Afridi takes it easily, SA lose their sixth and still 14 short of 100 86/648.5 Ajmal takes his 150th ODI wicket! Parnell hitting out here, he stayed at the crease and looked to clear the sightscreen, skied it towards long-on and Shehzad took the catch 181/934.5 that was straightforward! Afridi pushed that quicker, Morkel took the risk of getting down to sweep, struck on the thigh plumb in front of the stumps and that's Afridi's third 129/849.5 a slower one from Tanvir, Tahir makes room and looks to slog him over deep midwicket, high in the air but doesn't get the distance, Riaz takes the skier at deep square leg 183/10Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL183 all out (49.5 Overs, RR: 3.67)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Colin Ingram, 0.2 ov), 2-38 (Jean-Paul Duminy, 9.1 ov), 3-48 (Graeme Smith, 12.5 ov), 4-54 (Faf du Plessis, 14.6 ov), 5-63 (AB de Villiers, 18.2 ov), 6-86 (Ryan McLaren, 26.3 ov), 7-125 (David Miller, 34.1 ov), 8-129 (Morne Morkel, 34.5 ov), 9-181 (Wayne Parnell, 48.5 ov), 10-183 (Imran Tahir, 49.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 the pressure gets to Jamshed, this was short and gaining on the body, he looked to hook and got a top edge and Miller takes the skier in the region of short leg 4/127.5 attempts another pull and he's caught at short midwicket! This trraveled quite quickly, this was short and he swiveled to pull flat and he couldn't get it past Smith 107/319.5 Hafeez has been consumed by the short ball! He bangs it in short on the body, Hafeez looked to fend it off but didn't really go through with the shot, miscued and it lobbed up to AB who jogged a few yards to his left 75/235.5 quite a soft dismissal in the end! Parnell pitched it up outside off, Misbah followed the angle that was taking it wide outside off, he scooped it down to backward point, easy catch in the end 135/440.6 that extra ball has cost them a wicket! Thin edge, this was pitched up outside off, Amin went forward to play at it, didn't cover the line and he feathered an edge to the keeper 165/541.1 Akmal has been given out lbw and he has reviewed it. Pitched just outside off, didn't turn, went straight through, Akmal was forward and was half-heartedly looking to defend, his bat was nowhere near the ball, he was struck in front of the off stump, Hawkeye confirmed and Akmal has to go 165/643.2 Afridi what have you done? To be fair it was a short ball that deserved to be hit, he rocked back and was in a hurry to pout that away over deep midwicket, he gave it a lot of power but toe-ended it, the skier was picked up by Miller who jogged back and took it in front of the rope 176/842.1 ...and Pakistan still find time to lose another wicket! Soft dismissal, this was pitched up outside off, Tanvir was looking it run it down to third man and he gave catching practice to AB 174/743.5 he's trapped plumb in front! What's happening here?? On the off stump, this one shot through, he was trapped on the back foot, as plumb as it could get 177/946.3 Morkel's hit the timber and South Africa have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat! All Morkel had to do was aim at the stumps and that's precisely what he did, Irfan was nailed to the crease, the ball landed on the off stump and held its line and shaved the stump, Morkel charges off and the South Africans can't believe it 182/10Extras13 (lb 4, w 9)TOTAL182 all out (46.3 Overs, RR: 3.91)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Nasir Jamshed, 4.4 ov), 2-75 (Mohammad Hafeez, 19.5 ov), 3-107 (Ahmed Shehzad, 27.5 ov), 4-135 (Misbah-ul-Haq, 35.5 ov), 5-165 (Umar Amin, 40.6 ov), 6-165 (Umar Akmal, 41.1 ov), 7-174 (Sohail Tanvir, 42.1 ov), 8-176 (Shahid Afridi, 43.2 ov), 9-177 (Wahab Riaz, 43.5 ov), 10-182 (Mohammad Irfan, 46.3 ov)
