- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 top-edged to third, Maphaka strikes on debut! Good pace and bounce, Ayub went deliberately aerial... but couldn't clear the man down on the boundary, who takes it comfortably and then turns to salute the crowd. The hero of Pakistan's chase the other night, but Ayub won't be going any further today 53/20.4 nicked him off second ball! Shafique make his second duck in a row, suckered into pushing at one that just kept going on the angle. Thick edge and an easy take for Klaasen behind the stumps. Jansen strikes early 5/132.6 gone! Lucky burgles a wicket! Cracked to midwicket, it went like a shot but straight into Markram's bread basket. Babar looks at his bat, aghast that he has thumped a half-tracker straight to a fielder. Markram stayed down for quite a while, the ball actually went through the hands and was held against his body - but he's all smiles now 168/335.6 brilliantly done by the youngster! Maphaka leaps for a caught-and-bowled in his follow through, and that's the end of Rizwan! He does a somersault and throws the ball up in one celebratory movement. Superb work from the debutant and Pakistan face having to rebuild going into the death overs 192/442.1 fetches the slog, picks out the man! Don't think that was the right ball to target: the line was wide of off and Salman was hitting against the turn. Got a good chunk of it but never looked like clearing the rope. Well held by Miller at deep midwicket 242/549.1 miscued to leg, and held running in! Ghulam falls to the first ball of the final over, another wicket for Maphaka on debut. slower ball, came off the toe of the bat and Markram had some work to do running in from long-on 317/846.3 short ball, slammed to leg - and this time a tough chance is held! Miller is a safe bet out there at deep midwicket and he takes it running in off the fence, diving for a low take in the fingertips. Jansen ends Irfan's brief salvo 291/648.6 skied to long-off - taken! Afridi's stay is short and sweet. Slower ball on a full, wide line, he mistimes his attempted slog down the ground. Rickelton settles under it and takes the catch safely before falling back on to his haunches 317/749.3 juggled... and taken! Back-of-the-hand slower ball, Rauf slices it into the off side. Rickelton was under this one at mid-off, he clanged the first attempt but caught it smartly one-handed as it dropped towards the turf. Fourth for the impressive Maphaka 323/949.5 slower ball down leg, Naseem realises it's a wide, sends Abrar back - but he won't make it! Maphaka stays cool to take the relay from Klaasen and break the stumps. So Pakistan will get the wide, but not the extra ball.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.6 Bavuma falls! That's a soft dismissal, he'll be admonishing himself for that error. Fraction short and kicked off the surface, couldn't control his flick and got a top-edge that popped up and he knew he was in trouble as soon as he miscued it, Haris Rauf charges in and takes a fabulous tumbling catch somewhere around deep square. He didn't expect it to lift that much off the pitch 34/111.6 gobsmacked! Abrar into the act again; he mas miserly in the last game and producing first bit of magic this evening again. Floated up a magical wrong'un, pushing him out of his crease, he is lunging, trying to get some bat on it, missed the line, ball spun away and sounded the death rattle. This is high skill and Zorzi found wanting against quality spin. This is exactly what Pakistan needed, and we know how wickets spring them into action. They'll be chirpy, attacking and look for more wickets now 74/2Extras9 (b 4, lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL83/2 (15.4 Overs, RR: 5.29)Fall of wickets: 1-34 (Temba Bavuma, 5.6 ov), 2-74 (Tony de Zorzi, 11.6 ov)
