Caleb: "I know it is about the team, not individual milestones. But a guy on 98 and he doesn't face a delivery in the last 9 balls of the innings, that is so unfortunate!"

Pakistan lit up SuperSport Park with a fabulous batting performance led by the swashbuckling southpaw Saim Ayub, who has hit his stride, batting with great confidence and swagger. He thoroughly deserved a hundred but was left stranded at the non-striker's end, which makes you feel for the youngster. Ayub got a reprieve early on but looked unblemished for the most part, dishing out severe punishment to South Africa's inexperienced bowling attack. Later, Irfan Niazi joined Saim Ayub and played a perfect supporting role, accelerating towards the end. Together, they piled misery on the hosts. This is a massive total and will require the elder statesmen to take responsibility. It promises to be a fascinating second half. Stay tuned!

waqar : "Feeling sad! for Saim Ayub...He played such a brilliant innings but missed a century."

Arslan: "Saim would b regretting his single in the 19th over.. kept watching from the other end… poor fellow - no maiden t20i century for him"
