5:56pm Off for bad light! And that will be stumps as well. The umpires ask Masood if he is willing to bring on slower bowlers, he says no and they are taken off. The light has deteriorated a bit in the last 15 minutes and that is enough to force the players off.
Pakistan have smiles on their faces as they make their way off the field, but boy, will South Africa be relieved! What a little spell of seam bowling we have seen here. And that has meant South Africa will not sleep easy over their qualification for the WTC final. Abbas has bowled away in such conditions in the county circuit and brought all his experience into play. His plan looked simple - attack the stumps and let the indecisive length do the rest. Shahzad supported him well. And as a result, we have a contest in our hands.
Babar ended his half-century drought today, scoring a fifty for the first time since December 2022. But once he was dismissed, Jansen ran through the line-up to pick up a six-for. The only resistance that South Africa encountered was from Shakeel, who batted magnificently for 84. That meant South Africa had a tricky target of 148. Why the target was in the 'tricky' territory was amply seen in the last half hour. Do join us for more of this riveting contest tomorrow at 10am local time. Oh, there is some inclement weather around as well, but we will be here half an hour before start. Ciao! See you tomorrow

Mohammad Abbas to Stubbs, OUT, Prolonged appeal for an lbw in unison. After a long meeting, they want to take their chances and have asked for another opinion. Pakistan players seem very excited just after looking that it didn't hit the bat. He landed it on a length just outside off, beating Stubbs, who looked to defend the line, on the outside edge. Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting middle and Pakistan are ecstatic. Stubbs has to go. What a vital breakthrough; Pakistan are pretty much alive in this contest. Louds scream of celebration, and they will be hunting for more wickets. South Africa under the pump
