7.44pm Wow. South Africa were 65 for 7 and most of the way into the departure lounge for their flight home. But David Miller has hopped into his jump-jet, and given his team a real fighting chance of a superb series win. Pakistan's spinners tied the team in knots, not least the debutant Zahid, who might have had three wickets in his first over but for an overturned lbw. But the seamers took a pasting at the back end, as Miller confirmed his finisher's credentials in remarkable fashion. PDP will be back shortly for the chase, don't go too far!
Ashraf: "Miller The killer. "
MAHESH A S: "8 balls to Miller and 160 it is !!! " Well well, every pundit has his day I guess!
saeed jan: "Never bowl to Miller outside the off stump at this stage as he loves having hitting them over extra cover for boundries." It's true, I do
Kashif: "On a turning wicket only two overs from Nawaz. Interesting!" [scratchy chin face]
Dinuk: "Never underestimate the power of Miller...." That's what I've always said

So, six balls ... can Miller conjure a 15-20 run over to give South Africa a real chance?
Abhijato: "Now then now then, Mr Miller, have you decided just yet whether you want to postpone your disowning your namesake?" It would be rude not to... it's Valentine's Day, after all

So, two overs to go, 12 vital balls. If Miller faces, say, eight of them, 160 could be on...
Hassan: "Only 9 overs from spinners on this track is poor captaincy from Babar. Should have skittled them for a sub 100 score"

Harris: "Miller playing a Rizwan knock here!"
Daniyal: "We have found a consistent batsmen in what feels like forever and now people want him to 'fail'. Pakistanis, I tell you..." Yes ... not quite the approach I'd recommend!
