- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.4 slog swept in the air, and Hasan makes no mistake at midwicket! Hendricks had looked to sweep Shadab as soon as he came on, but the shot has proved his undoing, the ball taking the top edge and presenting Hasan, at midwicket on the edge of the circle, with a fairly straightforward chance. He holds on, despite a bit of wobble in the breeze as the ball came down, and Pakistan have struck 82/146.1 a high full toss is slapped down to deep mid off! Van der Dussen falls seven short of a debut hundred. He went for the big shot, and it was on given the delivery, but didn't quite get enough on it, the ball going straight to Shoaib Malik in that position. The crowd cheers van der Dussen from the field despite him missing out on the milestone. He's looked the part! 237/2Extras4 (lb 3, w 1)TOTAL266/2 (50 Overs, RR: 5.32)Fall of wickets: 1-82 (Reeza Hendricks, 17.4 ov), 2-237 (Rassie van der Dussen, 46.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR36.1 Olivier strikes! He was the difference between these two teams in the Test series, could he be the difference between them in this opening ODI? Olivier speared the ball in full, even as Imam jumped out at him and looked to smoke the ball over cover. But he slices underneath the stroke, and Reeza Hendricks sprints in from the deep to hold the catch, which is a splendid effort, especially after he appeared to dislocate a finger earlier 185/38.2 taken at fine leg! Another short ball, another wicket for Olivier. It's difficult to control the hook shot against Olivier. His short ones rise more steeply than others, similar to Jacques Kallis' surprise short ball. This one is climbing across off and gets too big for Fakhar. Fine leg hangs under it and it swerves to his right. But he watches closely and holds on low 45/127.6 he's got him! Oh dear. Reeza can't believe it. Faf can't believe it. Mickey Arthur does not want to believe it. It's a short ball coming in at middle stump. He backs into the leg side and wants to punch through cover. But he's pushed at it too early and lost his calibration. Completely misses it. And the ball hits middle stump. Soft, soft dismissal. 139/241.2 bowled 'im! South Africa needed a wicket, and Phehlukwayo has struck. The delivery was on a length, just outside off, and Shoaib was just trying to guide it down to third man, as has been done umpteen times tonight. But the ball nipped in to him off the surface, cramping him for room, and ultimately sliding off the bat and straight onto the stumps 218/442.2 Tahir's off, arms spread in celebration! The ball was pushed through flat and fast, but it gripped in the surface to beat the outside edge and hit Sarfraz on the back thigh. Up goes the finger, but not so fast! Sarfraz reviews it. Where did this pitch? On middle and leg. Where is it headed? For the stumps. Three reds after the review, and Sarfraz has to go. Two quick wickets! 223/5Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL267/5 (49.1 Overs, RR: 5.43)Fall of wickets: 1-45 (Fakhar Zaman, 8.2 ov), 2-139 (Babar Azam, 27.6 ov), 3-185 (Imam-ul-Haq, 36.1 ov), 4-218 (Shoaib Malik, 41.2 ov), 5-223 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 42.2 ov)
