    3.4 That is a breathtaking catch! Sharp rising delivery around the line off, stands tall and insolently crunches a pull but knew he was in trouble as soon as he connected, bat turned and he got a top-edge, ball remained in the air for an eternity and we know van der Dussen seldom drops skiers; he ran like a cheetah to his left covering lots of distance and taking a wonderful diving catch at deep midwicket inches inside the rope 16/1

    11.1 Around the wicket, floated up in his hitting arc and he hasn't got all of it. It's that man again who produces magic again, Babar got a decent chunk of it but just not enough elevation and power behind that shot, safely pouched at long-on. It's an opportunity for South Africa to build some pressure and stymie the run-flow, pick a few more. 103/2
    12.4 Throws the kitchen sink at it; big mow across the line, saw the width and his eyes lit up; wanted to slog it across the line and top-edges it to deep third. The writing is on the wall; he has had too many failures off late. Galiem is over the moon and gets his first wicket in international cricket 114/3
    14.1 Caught and bowled! Hits the deck hard and gets the desired response from the surface, Tayyab Tahir gets all ruffled up and tries to plonk it into the leg side, gets a leading edge straight back to the bowler who gobbles it up gladly, gets second wicket on his debut, what a day he is having! 122/4
    19.2 Taken this time, some relief for South Arica but he has done his part and inflicted plenty of damage. Cross-seam delivery shaping in at middle and leg, not much oomph behind that shot and safely taken by van der Dudden near the rope at deep midwicket. 195/5

    17.4 Not to be. Perishes and won't be there till the end to guide his team to doorstep of win but he has done his job; it was a spellbinding century, and he decimated Pakistan's bowling attack. Short and attacks the stumps but doesn't offer much pace to work with, Irfan, has got the safest pair of hands in Pakistan team, and hangs onto it well at deep midwicket. Hendricks receives a loud cheer from the spectators. It was a classy knock to say the least 185/3
    1.2 Beautiful away shape and he couldn't resist the temptation to chase it, fraction short and gets it to shape away appreciably from the left-hander, fine edge and Rizwan does the rest. Excellent delivery and Jahandad loved that. Pakistan get their early breakthrough they were after 6/1
    3.6 Gone! Dug in short and he takes him on; he was not expecting the bumper as Jahandan ekes out another wicket! Frantically stepping back and trying to plonk a pull but finds Shaheen Afridi at mid-on who makes no mistake. 28/2
