    30.1 change of bowling has done the trick. Length ball angling in from around the wicket, mid-on and mid-off in so de Kock looks to go over the top but swings through early and gets a thin inside edge onto the stumps. Relief for Pakistan just as de Kock was revving up for a big one. 169/2
    9.3 slaps this straight to cover and Markram is a victim of his own ultra-aggression. Just a hint of width as he looked to use the width and slap it over cover but didn't get the elevation. There was no timing on it either and it's a good response from Faheem after being smashed for a six. 55/1
    46.2 short ball, and Bavuma can't put the pull away. Off the bat's bottom-half, and taken at deep midwicket. Falls eight short of a hundred 306/4
    41.4 entertaining innings comes to a close but he's done his job, you'd think. Was looking really good but given the wickets in hand he wanted to try and go for a big shot every delivery. Full, on off. Tries to clear long on, but ends up holing out 270/3

    47.5 it's stuck! Low full toss on leg. Tries to paddle it by bending and looking to flick it over short fine leg. But Haris sticks his hands near his face and the ball stays in 317/5
    48.6 Rauf gives Andile an earful! Tries to cut this short, wide ball away. Takes a edge, goes high in the air, and short third man slides across the ground to take a catch. Lots of passion all around as Phehlukwayo gives a look back before heading into the dugout 322/6

    1.6 got away in the previous delivery, but not this time. Hits the hard lengths, gets it to rear up from middle as Imam is squared up by the late movement, he pushes at it to take a thick edge as Aiden Markram dives to his right in front of the first slip fielder to grab an excellent catch! 7/1
    49.1 oh dear! Fakhar has been run out! How anti-climactic, this is a direct hit from long off! Drilled this to the fielder on the boundary, and Fakhar thought the throw was going to the bowler's end. But the throw was at the keeper's...and Fakhar is caught napping! The way he was playing, probably apt that no bowler can claim Fakhar's wicket today. Both teams applauding him for the effort. Smart work from de Kock too, who "faked" a bit by pointing at the bowler as if the ball was going to him. That made Fakhar slow down in his second run while the throw was coming to the keeper! 312/9
    10.4 good length, outside off. Tries to pull from outside off, but it flies off the edge. In the air for ages and Bavuma at midwicket juggles three times before holding on to it. Big wicket for South Africa, Babar done in by the extra pace 70/2
    10.6 first slip pockets that! A special over from Nortje. Good length, outside off stump. Pokes at it, and this has taken the edge. This catch is much less dramatic compared to the Babar one 71/3
    14.6 and he strikes next ball! Goes with the back of a length delivery, on middle. Moving away slightly. Tries to defend off the back foot, but the outgoing angle takes a tiny edge off the bat and the wicketkeeper shuffles to his left to pocket a catch. That's Nortje's third 85/4
    24.3 gone! As plumb as it gets. He was looking to sweep this full delivery but got into a tangle, hit flush in front of middle. Pakistan review. 120/5
    33.5 full outside off. Chooses to slog it, and mistimes this dragged shot to deep midwicket. Not an easy catch, with the sun in Markram's eyes...but he takes it in the end 186/6
    37.4 out? That's soft and Faheem will be so disappointed. Short ball, wayward, going down leg. He tries to pull, but it's taken a tiny touch through to de Kock 205/7
    44.5 slower ball, in the air, and taken by the bowler himself. Angling away, forcing Afridi to reach at it. Misses the dragged shot, and the simple catch is taken by Rabada by running to his left 273/8
