    0.2 Incredible delivery! Fuller in length and gets prodigious inswing, ball sneaks past the inside edge and crashes the top of leg stump! What a pearler! 0/1
    1.6 a slower one, full around off. De Kock looks to go big but fails to middle it and ends up slicing towards mid-off. Salman Agha moves to his right and settles under it 12/2
    2.6 a slower bouncer. De Zorzi fails to pick it up and is early into the shot. He was shaping up for a front-foot pull and ends up lobbing it to short fine leg 15/3
    7.3 Oh, that's a nothing shot! Faheem Ashraf has the last laugh! Drops it short and slackens the pace again, but cramping him for room, chest height delivery and he is late on the pull, hits him high on the bat and he squeezes it out to short cover-point. South Africa in a huge spot of bother! 49/5
    4.4 cleaned him up! Mirza makes up for those lapses. Was another cutter, pitching around good length on middle and leg. Breetzke tried to defend but got beaten on the outside edge and the ball clattered into off stump 23/4
    9.6 Once again Faheem with a riposte! Rolls his fingers and flummoxes him with a cutter! Becoming a pattern for Faheem, he slinks back and tries to chop but it's too close and finds it tough to judge the pace of the ball, ending up chopping it back onto the stumps! Excellent variations and bag of tricks on show 66/6
    11.5 Keeps chopping back onto the stumps! Another suffocating slower one that never really arrives, shortish cutter slammed into the surface on fourth stump line, he goes for a swivel pull and ends up making a mess of his stumps, not a great shot in the circumstances. The idea should have been to survive for a few overs before stepping on the gas paddle. Faheem picks his third 73/7
    13.4 Sounded like a nick and Usman seems convinced, umpire raises the finger quickly and it's been a procession, wheels continue to come off. bBosch depart for 11 and it's looking increasingly unlikely that South Africa will play out the overs. It was a pace-on shortish ball plugging away in the corrdior, and he couldn't resist the temptation, flirting with danger and getting a faint edge, too good for thee 83/8
    18.2 Around the wicket, bowls a magic carrom ball with no pace on offer, lands on a length and gets it to spin a touch, he leans forward to defend and plays down the wrong line 102/9
    19.2 Pace-off and banged in short on middle, tries to go for a full-blooded pull and rotates, snap of thw wrists and ends up wearing it on his pads, ball goes on to disturb the furniture and another chop on! 57th time Pakistan has bowled out an oppoisiton in T20Is 110/10
