5.12pm A fantastic bowling effort from Pakistan. They started well, disciplined and reaped reward from the start. South Africa struggled through the innings, gained no fluency or any momentum. In the end. South Africa laboured their way to 219 for 8, a score that could well be enough against a temperamental team. Miller's 75 was a shining light in a day of gloom for South Africa. Will it be enough or not? Karthik will be back with you before you say mercury.
