    11.5 almost a carbon copy from two balls ago, and Markram is shaking his head yet again! But this time, he does bring himself to trudging off. Noman has his man! Looped up on a fullish length on middle stump. Drifts in and then extracts vicious purchase off the surface. Markram, to be fair to him, does not go following it and dangles his bat down the line he felt the ball would turn towards. The ball, though, spins just a tad bit more and kisses the outside edge. Smart grab by Rizwan high to his right, and SA lose their skipper! 45/1
    50.1 sharp grab at first slip, and Salman answers Pakistan's prayers! Zipped through on a full length on middle and off. Rickelton thinks he can play with the angle and clip this through mid wicket. The ball, though, straightens just enough, and flies off the leading edge. Babar lunges forward and seems to pick it up inches off the turf with just his right hand. The third umpire takes a look at it but it is a very quick check. Clean catch and Rickelton, for the first time in his Test career, has been dismissed between 50 and 100! 174/3
    24.5 got him!! Mulder walks - literally. He goes for an expansive drive, but is beaten by the lack of pace, and the loop. Noman tossed it up and went slow - just like the previous ball - as this one dipped around fourth or fifth stump. Mulder went driving with an angled bat - it looked horizontal more than full-faced - and with the ball turning away, he ended up giving Rizwan another catch 80/2

    54.6 loud and confident appeal for caught behind by Rizwan... and given out!! But wait, Stubbs has reviewed rather immediately. Noman got this full delivery to angle in, and dip on a middle-stump line even as he bowled slowly yet again. Stubbs went defending on middle, but the ball turned away to go past the outside edge as he was beaten. And, and... there's a clear spike as ball passes the bat. So Stubbs is gone, and with him, a review 192/4
    55.6 chipped to midwicket first ball!! The roar from Sajid makes it known what it means to him. Sajid bowled it on a length around off, and got the ball to jump and turn in. That pushed Brevis back in the crease, and he ended up fending at it. The ball went spooning to Masood in what turned out to be a soft dismissal. South Africa are losing their way, and Pakistan will smell a respectable lead 193/5
    60.3 loud and confident appeal for lbw, and given after a while!! But, but... Verreynne reviews. What a busy day the third umpire is having!! Fullish ball from Noman, who gets it to dip on middle and leg. It straightens after pitching, and strikes Verreynne on the front pad as he looks to sweep but misses. There doesn't look to be bat involved, but we'll see. Yup, the ball passes below his bat, and there's no bat involved. Ball tracking shows the ball would have hit the middle of middle stump!! South Africa lose another review 200/6
