2.25 pm Career-best figures for Duanne Olivier with 6-37. But this innings will also be remembered for Steyn finally going past Pollock. Most of the cricket world through the day would arrive in 2015-16. It's taken almost three injury-filled years, but it's finally come. Steyn did get tapped by Babar Azam in his last spell, with the batsman showing amazing timing and control to take advantage of anything slightly loose. But he sits on top of the South African pile and deservedly so - the greatest bowler of the modern era.

Olivier to Shaheen Shah Afridi, OUT, and he's got him with a short ball. Another well-directed one, angling across him, but very close to the body. It seems to have clipped his bat on the way to de Kock, there was certainly a noise. He was walking away, but his partner told him to review, given that it's the last wicket. What if it's a no-ball? But it isn't. The review also confirms that there was an edge, with Afridi not able to get his bat out of the way in time. Six wicket for Olivier

Olivier to Shaheen Shah Afridi, no run, another wild heave, gets it high on the bat and it travels straight instead of over midwicket, but falls short of mid-off

Olivier to Hasan Ali, 1 run, wild swipe results in an edge, flies to Quinton's right and high. He leaps up and gets a palm on it, but it bounces off. Difficult to call it a proper 'drop'

Olivier to Hasan Ali, 2 byes, another bouncer, and Quinton has hurt his fingers going for it. The batsman was flat on the floor again, bouncer going down leg, Quinton tried to go for it but the ball clipped the outside of his fingers. He seemed to be closing his hands before getting to the ball, which was also going with the angle. Painful blow

Olivier to Hasan Ali, no run, ducks under a bouncer that doesn't rise quite high. went down with bat hanging in air, and the ball went just past the bat. Wasn't that short actually and contined to rise after going past the batsman

Olivier to Hasan Ali, no run, comes down the track and has a wild swipe at this, back of a length on off. Misses completely
