- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 that's out, big sound, good length this time and Amla chased that one, not much footwork there, just went hard at that one, aiming to crack it through cover, appeared to get a thin inside edge there and Akmal took it easily, Irfan has struck 26/17.5 Smith goes as well, he's not going to review it, he's walking back, short ball outside off and Smith tried to pull it square, got a faint nick and Kamran took it comfortably, a slight under-edge and he's gone as well 43/44.3 appeal for a catch and it's been turned down, Misbah wants a review, Kamran Akmal was convinced but Irfan went up belatedly, landed on a good length, he opted to play that off the back foot, there was a sound as it went past the bat, but Hot Spot doesn't show any heat signature there. It wasn't the bat hitting pad either, because there was no contact between those two. There was a sound, but was there any compelling evidence that there was a touch? Dharmasena is the third umpire and he reckons the sound is good enough to change the decision, even though Hot Spot didn't reveal anything. Hmm, it's been given out. 26/26.2 edged and gone! No doubts about this one, de Villiers was again in two minds about this, short outside off and he belatedly decided to go for it, tried to guide him past the slips there but got a thick edge and second slip snapped that with no trouble, three down now and South Africa in a bit of trouble 35/310.6 Faf goes, Irfan reacts well, extra bounce doing the trick again! Took off from short of a good length and surprised Faf, who came on the front foot and tried hard to keep it down, taking his bottom-hand off, but it got him on his glove and lobbed back towards the bowler, Irfan bent low and to his left and took it one-handed, five down now 62/538.3 Behardien's gone, shortish from Hafeez and he tried to clear deep square leg, was slightly short and he pulled it high but couldn't get the distance 173/720.3 Given out this time, fires it quicker this time, appeared adjacent again, reaches forward to defend but that appeared to go straight on, seemed to strike him in line with middle and leg as he missed an attempt to block that, Pakistan have struck 106/643.2 Peterson falls, South Africa have been bowled out, tries to drag it from well outside off over midwicket, Ajmal had slowed it up, gets a top-edge and it's an easy catch to short third man 191/1039.1 Ajmal strikes, a leading edge, don't think he picked the straighter one there, or it may have been a doosra, closed the face on that one and offered a simple catch to mid-off running to his left 179/842.6 bowled'im! On a length and Steyn tries to push that through the line, he remains on nought after all that, misses and is bowled 191/9Extras19 (lb 10, w 9)TOTAL191 all out (43.2 Overs, RR: 4.4)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (Hashim Amla, 4.2 ov), 2-26 (Colin Ingram, 4.3 ov), 3-35 (AB de Villiers, 6.2 ov), 4-43 (Graeme Smith, 7.5 ov), 5-62 (Faf du Plessis, 10.6 ov), 6-106 (Ryan McLaren, 20.3 ov), 7-173 (Farhaan Behardien, 38.3 ov), 8-179 (Kyle Abbott, 39.1 ov), 9-191 (Dale Steyn, 42.6 ov), 10-191 (Robin Peterson, 43.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.5 Jamshed falls! Excellent catch at slip, a dismissal not too different from AB de Villiers' this afternoon, short of a length and he tries to guide it past the slip fielder towards third man, got a thick edge and found slip, who dived well to his left to pouch that one, Smith was the man 29/113.2 Steyn has got rid of Hafeez again, that's the fifth time he's got him out this tour, on a length and Hafeez just chipped that through the line, midwicket was alert and dived to his left to catch that with a dive, Steyn gives Hafeez a send-off, Pakistan have lost their openers 63/214.3 that's bowled! Kamran Akmal was tempted by that tossed up delivery, tried to swing it hard over midwicket, missed, was struck on the toe and the ball rolled back onto the stumps, Pakistan in a bit of trouble now, got an inside edge onto the toe, mid-on and mid-off were inside the circle 69/325.4 gone! Dismissed off a full toss, struck it too well, picked it from middle and swept it straight to Amla at deep square leg, this makes things more interesting, he was batting positively and he picked the right ball there but found the fielder 115/4Extras9 (lb 3, w 6)TOTAL192/4 (39.2 Overs, RR: 4.88)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Nasir Jamshed, 7.5 ov), 2-63 (Mohammad Hafeez, 13.2 ov), 3-69 (Kamran Akmal, 14.3 ov), 4-115 (Younis Khan, 25.4 ov)
