15.4 OUT! CAUGHT! The slower ball does the trick. Full, outside off, Rizwan looks to get under it and go big over long off. However, he is not quite able to connect it cleanly, due to lack of pace.He toe-ends it, holing out to Andile Phehlukwayo at long off. A clean chit for the Proteas tonight, in terms of their fielding. Rizwan departs, with 26 balls left in the innings. Great knock again. 97/5

| Babar Azam C | 5 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 125 |

1.2 OUT! LBW! The Pakistan skipper falls cheaply again! As expected, it was a waste of a review. The ball was pitched on a length and jagged back a touch, with the angle. Babar looked to work it to the leg side but missed and was hit on the pads. Pretorius immediately went up and the umpire barely had any hesitation to raise his finger. Azam looked up at Rizwan, walked down the track and eventually took the DRS. Three reds on the Ball Tracker, with the projection claiming leg stump. 10/1

| Haider Ali | 10 | 11 | 2 | 0 | 90.90 |
|
4.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Well held. Lutho Sipamla is the man. A length ball, around middle, Haider flicks it and flicks it beautifully. The timing is excellent too. But to his dismay, it is near a man hovering at the square leg boundary. Sipamla is there, takes the catch and then, with the momentum, dives. Haider will consider himself very, very unlucky. Don't think he meant to audition for the position of the fielding coach for South Africa. 36/2

| Hussain Talat | 3 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 42.85 |

6.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Picks the man perfectly. Hussain cannot believe what he has done. Shamsi can, as he roars into Talat's face. Full, around off, Talat gets down and unfurls the reverse sweep again. But this time, he finds Pite van Biljon at backward point. Say cheese! 48/3

| Iftikhar Ahmed | 20 | 21 | 2 | 0 | 95.23 |
|
13.4 OUT! High, high, high and taken! Anyone wanting to know the meaning of communication, please look at David Miller. This is a blinder. Will tell you why. A slower ball, outside off, Iftikhar winds up for a slog, but hits this miles in the air, getting a top edge. David Miller is the one at deep mid-wicket but he has another man to his right and one to his left, at long on, coming in for the catch. But he is loud and clear, wanting to take the catch. And then, comes trouble. Due to the heavy fog, Miller loses the ball. He is seeen searching for it and spots it only at the last moment. Is away from the ball but manages to cling on to the catch. End of a 45-run stand. 93/4

18.3 OUT! BOWLED! Pretorius gets a fifer! Corker of a yorker on off, little bit coming in with the angle, Nawaz looks to dig it out but misses it and gets bowled. Pretorius leaps in the air in jubilation. A 'W-0-W' over so far. Could this be a momentum-changing over? 126/7

0.2 OUT! BOWLED! Now, South Africa will mind, Pakistan won't. This is pitched outside leg and is angling further down as well. Malan looks to flick but misses. However, unluckily for him, the ball ricochets off the back pad, onto the stumps! Early blow. 4/1

| JJ Smuts | 7 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 87.50 |
|
2.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Catching practice to mid off. A length ball, outside off, Smuts stands tall and hammers it straight to mid off. It is straight into the bread basket of Babar Azam there. When dismissals like these happen, reminds me of Ian Chappell commenting during the Aus-Eng clash in the 2007 ODI World Cup. Ian Bell was caught at cover and Chappell was criticizing the shot. Either you hit it over the top or hit it along the ground. Not the in-between. The same logic applies to Smuts. Why didn't he look to go over mid off? Why flat? 21/2
