    2.6 cleans him up with an absolute pearler! The dream dismissal for any right-arm fast bowler. Finds the perfect in-between length, where de Zorzi is unsure about coming forward. Starts on off and then curves back in deliciously, cutting de Zorzi in half and knocking back the top of middle stump. A sumptuous delivery to get things underway for Pakistan! 7/1
    6.4 edged and has that carried?! Looks like it has! Back of a length in the channel. Unlike the last ball, this straightens off the pitch and that squares up Rickelton. He nibbles at it and gets a nick that floats through to Rizwan, who has to dive forward to snare the chance. The umpires want to check if this is a fair catch. Looked good in real time, and looks very good on the replay too. Right into Rizwan's gloves, and Pakistan have two in the first seven overs! 24/2
    15.4 Produces a jaffa out of nowhere! He didn't know whether to come forward or go back and in that moment of confusion, he sees himself get rapped on the front pad, looks very adjacent, no point going upstairs. Umpire was quick to raise the finger and that wicket will really fire Pakistan up. Expect them to be noisy now. Stubbs resistance melts away after 28 balls; the comeback man gets his first wicket on return. He is so good at this; got to nip back just enough to trap him lbw 66/3
    36.4 gone! Bavuma runs out of patience, and ends up tickling this behind! After three leaves in this over, he goes jabbing at this ball, and gets a thick outside edge. Jamal persisted with that inviting length, which draws Bavuma forward to have a little drive at this ball. The line is testing - around sixth stump - and some good bounce and away movement does it for Jamal, who breaks a threatening stand for Pakistan 136/4
