    0.3 gone!! Good catch by de Kock, and good, tight line by Burger, who roars in celebration. Fakhar has a word with Ayub for a possible review, but the latter asks his partner to walk back. A sharp short delivery rising considerably on middle stump, and thus cramping Fakhar for room. The bounce is too steep for him to handle, and as Fakhar attempts to pull, the ball pops up off the gloves, and right behind towards de Kock, who went low and dived forward to pouch it 1/1
    24.3 taken!! Sharp return catch by Bosch. Ayub drives back aerially, and Bosch does well to go low while sliding towards his left, and grab the ball. He bowled it on the fuller side of a length around middle and leg, and Ayub played forward with the full face of the bat. Bosch breaks a 92-run stand with that athletic effort 114/4
    4.1 caught at first slip!! Burger bags Babar early. Good bowling, and equally good catching. First the ball, though. Burger angled it across from over the wicket, and bowled on the shorter side of a length on the stumps. Babar was squared up by the tight line and length, and like earlier in the day, his front leg was out of the way as he looked to push at it. He ended up getting a thick outside edge, before Ferreira dived to his left to complete a quick grab 17/2
    4.5 bowled him!! Rizwan is clueless. Burger is pumped up. The bottom edge off the bat lands on the leg stump, and the Pakistan supporters in the stands look skywards. Shorter side of a length from Burger, who angles this across, and pitches it on or around off stump. Rizwan's bat or shoulders aren't entirely raised up as the ball finishes around fifth stump, and he ends up chopping on for Burger's third wicket 22/3

    40.6 Around the wicket, what a tremendous riposte! Pursues with the yorker ploy and hits the stick, magnificent inswinging yorker on middle and he has the last laugh, gets the settled man out 190/6
    29.6 soft dismissal!! Talat falls after offering a return catch to Peter. The legspinner got plenty of revs on this short-of-a-length ball on middle, which straightened after pitching. Talat closed the face of the bat, and was looking to clip, but got a leading edge back to Peter, who hardly had to move in his follow through to complete the catch. With that wicket, South Africa keep Pakistan in check 131/5
    49.5 Cries of catch it and Peter hangs onto it brilliantly, running back and taking down his throat, given a lot of air and spinning it across middle, he had to go and this time got a top-edge that ballooned up. Neverthelss it's been a magnificent innings 263/9
    46.5 lands it short around the line off, in his hitting and doesn't go out of the park! Hit high but not entirely mighty, taken at deep square with ease. Burger knew he is going to take on the short ball and didn't give him much time to react on this occasion, strangled him on shoulder height. Pretorius hangs onto it brilliantly 233/7
    47.1 Over the wicket, quicker legbreak outside off, wanted to pump it leg-side and got a top-edge, taken by the bowler while running to his right, as easy as you like. Captain departs without troubling the scorers much. Pakistan needed some big hits from him but looks like all the heavy-lifting work will have to be done by Nawaz. Although Wasim Jnr has the capability to hit the long ball as well 234/8
