- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.1 Maharaj gets his man! Flighted ball, full on off and Butt wants to fend at it softly, but it takes a touch off the bat's face and goes straight through to de Kock. Sharp catch, and Butt is out for 15. 21/114.5 another one! Pakistan have lost three wickets for one run, and this one is thanks to an outstanding catch from Aiden Markram at short leg. The ball is angled at the body again, and arrives at just above waist height for Abid, who attempts to get inside the line and turn it around the corner to fine leg. Only manages to get an inside edge to it though, and the ball hits his midriff and pops out toward Markram, who follows the ball beautifully to his right and snatches it before it hits the turf. Superb short-legging... he stayed low, stable, watched it perfectly. 22/313.4 out for a duck!Trapped him lbw, and the finger is up swiftly. Full on off, and skidding through. Defends for the turn, but it doesn't, and this would've crashed into middle and leg 21/258.2 he's gone second ball! Edged to Faf at second slip. Length ball outside off, Babar wants to cut, but takes a thick edge to the fielder at head high. Faf's one of the best fielders in world cricket, and he helps get a big wicket. Just the start the visitors would've wanted 145/463.4 Bavuma, you beauty! This is a classic Temba dismissal, if Fawad is out, and yes, his dive cannot save him! Tried to pinch a single by knocking it to the off side, but Bavuma from point runs across, picks up and throws in one move. Hits the wickets at the bowler's end and Fawad is gone too. 149/582.3 bounced out! Nortje hammers in the short ball, Rizwan takes it on... but a top-edged pull sails straight into the midriff of fine leg! Almost literally, given the slightly botched attempt at a catch from Rabada, but he manages to hold on and SA have their third wicket of the morning 190/693.2 flighted, grips and clips the edge, taken at slip! Nicely bowled by Maharaj and SA have dislodged Hasan with lunch looming... Turn and bounce for Maharaj, drew him forward and then took the shoulder of the bat for a simple catch. Classic SLA dismissal of a right-hander 221/7102.4 nice dive! Not easy throwing yourself forward on the follow through, but he does well to get down low. Yasir pushes at this tentatively, trying to drive the full ball, and it's slightly in the air as it comes back to Mulder. Sharp catch and that's wicket No. 8. Hopefully Mulder hasn't bruised his elbows too much 251/8114.1 off the splice and snaffled at boot hill! Nauman has to face the (chin) music, as Nortje gets his fourth! That was a beast of a delivery for a No. 10, right up in his grille and the hands went straight up to fend it away, presenting Markram with a simple grab under the short leg helmet 272/9114.3 bumper does it again, gloved to silly point! More short stuff, Shaheen's a big fella and he can't get out of the way easily... in the end, he contorts himself around on leg stump and somehow manages to pop a catch into the off side. Nortje walks off with the ball raised for his five-for, and SA have docked the tail to leave Faheem stranded 272/10Extras9 (b 2, lb 2, nb 5)TOTAL272 all out (114.3 Overs, RR: 2.37)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Imran Butt, 11.1 ov), 2-21 (Azhar Ali, 13.4 ov), 3-22 (Abid Ali, 14.5 ov), 4-145 (Babar Azam, 58.2 ov), 5-149 (Fawad Alam, 63.4 ov), 6-190 (Mohammad Rizwan, 82.3 ov), 7-221 (Hasan Ali, 93.2 ov), 8-251 (Yasir Shah, 102.4 ov), 9-272 (Noman Ali, 114.1 ov), 10-272 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 114.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 exacting line, gets a thin edge this time! Doesn't matter what the cordon's doing if the edges go straight to the keeper... Just a feather, I think, but Pakistan knew and the finger went up quickly. Plenty of jazba in the celebration as Hasan breaks through 26/123.6 skidding on as Markram whips to leg, but miscues completely! Nauman gets some traction from the surface, and big top edge dollies towards midwicket! Another example of a batsman trying to punch his way out of a corner, and SA are definitely in the doo-doo now 81/45.6 castled first ball! Hasan is off and running, throws the arms back like an exploding star! Good length, snaking back in at 137kph, maybe kept a fraction low - and it left van der Dussen down on his haunches, off stump slapped square in the mush. Two in two for Hasan and that's got Pakistan in the mood as they break for tea 26/214.3 edged and taken! This was a wild shot from Faf, chasing a ball that was short but not wide enough. Tries to cut, takes a thick edge, and Rizwan puts in a dive to his right to take the catch. Replays confirm that the ball was too close to his body for the cut shot anyway 55/330.3 oh dear! Inside edged onto the stumps. Shaheen didn't mind that de Kock was driving quite often. Pitches it up again, a bit wide outside off. Tries to drive away from his body, and the inside edge crashes into leg stump. de Kock out for a 20-ball 29 114/553.1 nudged off the hip for a single that brings up the fifty stand... but Mulder wants two and he's going to be run out coming back! Disaster for South Africa, who were going so well with this pair but have needlessly given Pakistan a way back in! Mulder wanted two the whole way, and Shaheen had to run around the ball to get it into his left hand - but then sent a brilliant throw right over the stumps, and Rizwan did the rest with the batsman a yard short. Given out on field, too 164/657.5 bowled 'im, slower ball does the trick! Hasan does his thang, hitting the timbers and then jiving like Travolta - and Linde's run-a-ball stay is over. Foxed by the offcutter and he played all around it. Pakistan chipping away 186/761.6 through him! Full on off, a bit of swing into the batsman. Tries to drive straight, but it goes past his defense, and clatters middle stump. That's Hasan's fourth 192/865.3 fullish, just outside off. Defends it to cover and tries to run. Bavuma makes it comfortably, but Rabada running to the keeper's end is short! Super pick up and throw from the fielder at point running to his right has caught Rabada napping. Abid Ali with the gun throw 201/965.4 and that's his five! And what a way to get there. Length ball outside off, and Nortje shoulders his arms but the ball zips in from the deck, and knocks top of off!

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 ball stays low and lbw given! Good length ball just outside off, but the ball jags in, stays low, and hits him in front of middle stump. Umpire was quick to raise the finger. Pakistan lose their first 0/116.2 swept straight into the keeper's gloves down the leg side! Up goes the finger straight away, and although Abid Ali looks like he's just put sour milk in his tea, he's not going to review... Full and leg side, as unthreatening as they come, but he's just got a tickle on it through to de Kock 28/231.2 lbw appeal and given! Late raise of the finger but eventually he did. This was a full ball on middle, and Azhar presses forward to defend. Goes past the inside edge of the bat and hits his front leg. Azhar reviews. Replays suggest there's no bat, and it hit him in front of middle and leg. Only question now is whether it did too much to go past leg stump. Replays say no, hitting top of leg stump. 63/422.4 third time this series! Another lbw from Maharaj to remove Babar. Full on off, with a bit of drift in. Babar looks to defend, but the ball whizzed past the inside edge of the bat and hit his front pad. Another occasion of Babar falling after a restart 45/335.1 tickled to short leg, gone! Inside edge, on to pad, and Markram clutches it to his chest! Second for Linde and South Africa are scrapping their way back into this contest. Bit of spin and Fawad was feeling for it in front of his pad 76/549.3 sliced to backward point! Linde points to the sky, he's bagged a third, never mind the damaged pinkie... Gave this some air and Faheem was lured into a loose drive, skewed straight to backward point and there's no reprieve from the fielder this time. Might have gone fifth ball, but Linde finally gets his man 128/656.1 easy decision! Full on off and Hasan wants to sweep at this quicker ball from Maharaj. He misses, ball hits him on the front pad and umpire Dar says out. But Hasan Ali reviews. Hits him in line and ball would've clipped the outside of leg stump. Umpire's call there, but Hasan is out, although Pakistan keep that review 143/773.5 clever change of pace snares the wicket from Linde. He bowled this flatter and wider, but also a touch quicker at 89 kph, just enough of a zippier ball to produce a touch of extra bounce. Yasir was sucked into the shot trying to pounce on the width but managed a thick edge well held by de Kock. 196/898.5 back of a length, on middle. Tries to pull, but it's marginally slow from Rabada. Toe-ends the pull, ball pops in the air, and midwicket dives forward to take a diving catch. Five short of fifty and Nauman is quite upset with himself. Raises his bat, slightly, on the way out though. The Pakistan management clap for him. A fist pump from Younis Khan too 293/9101.6 Umpire going for TV review? And out, Linde has his fifth. What a story he has also been! Dislocated pinky finger on day one, and takes a five-for on day four despite a pinky finger that he cannot use. His maiden five-for. This was a good length ball outside off and turning in. Past Shaheen's edge and just takes a feather edge on off stump. Umpires were checking whether the bails were dislodged by the keeper or not. All good. That's bowled.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR81.1 taken at second slip! And Markram is kicking himself in disgust. Good length ball outside off. Ball stays a bit low as tries to poke at it. Thick outside edge, and taken by the fielder. Markram is absolutely disgusted with himself. Importantly, Hasan Ali has not overstepped on this one 241/48.2 big nick chasing well away from his body! Absolutely no need to play at this from Elgar. It was a good length ball in the sixth stump channel, no swing, just gun barrel straight bowling over the stumps from Afridi. Barely any footwork to get closer in line with the ball from Elgar, just a nothing shot really and Afridi is rewarded for his disciplined length. Still nothing conceded off the bat and now has a wicket to his name. 33/141.3 through him! And that's what Pakistan would've wanted this morning. Fullish ball just outside off, movement in the air, late swing into the batsman as he looks to defend. Sneaks past the inside-edge, takes a feather touch, and crashes into leg stump. 127/245.5 trapped him lbw and it's the low bounce again. Length ball outside off and this one zips right in too. Faf is totally done in by the low bounce, hits the front pad in front of middle stump. Faf reviews and there's no inside edge. Ball-tracking says pitched outside off, hit in front of middle, and crashing into middle and leg. South Africa lose a review 135/386.5 Shaheen strikes and gets the big wicket of Bavuma! He kept bowling that tight line outside off with the new ball, nearly got Bavuma on a couple of occasions and he finally takes his outside edge. Nicely bowled with the angle around off stump, Bavuma feels he has to play at it and gets just a faint edge for the keeper. Big blow for South Africa 253/681.2 and taken at second slip again! Hasan Ali you beauty. Full just outside off, temping de Kock to drive. Takes a thick outside edge, flying to the left of Butt, and he sticks them out and gobbles it up. And Hasan now has four 241/591.4 Pakistan win the series 2-0 as he goes for a wild hoick to this full ball by coming down the wicket. Misses the slog, and Mulder's stumps have been knocked back. This is Pakistan's first series win against SA in 17+ years 274/1087.6 full just outside off. Drives square, flies off the bat's edge, and point - Faheem - dives to his left to take a diving catch. South Africa in all sorts of trouble as Hasan Ali brings out a new celebration. This one's the #Bebeto baby cradle celebration 258/790.1 second slip in play again! This seems like the Pakistan template is working perfectly. Full, outside off and angling away. Maharaj chooses to drive, it flies off the edge, and Butt - at second slip - moves to his left, gets in front of first slip, and pockets a simple practice-session catch 268/890.3 through his gates! And now Afridi is one wicket away from a five-for. Full, on off. Searing in with a bit of movement. Rabada wants to defend but there's zero movement of the feet. Ball goes past the inside of the bat, and crashes into middle and leg 268/9Extras9 (lb 2, nb 7)TOTAL274 all out (91.4 Overs, RR: 2.98)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Dean Elgar, 8.2 ov), 2-127 (Rassie van der Dussen, 41.3 ov), 3-135 (Faf du Plessis, 45.5 ov), 4-241 (Aiden Markram, 81.1 ov), 5-241 (Quinton de Kock, 81.2 ov), 6-253 (Temba Bavuma, 86.5 ov), 7-258 (George Linde, 87.6 ov), 8-268 (Keshav Maharaj, 90.1 ov), 9-268 (Kagiso Rabada, 90.3 ov), 10-274 (Wiaan Mulder, 91.4 ov)
