Inn Break
Right then, that is it from Day 1 of this first Test between South Africa and Pakistan. The hosts trail by 129 runs with 7 wickets in hand. They will look to keep reducing the margin while the visitors will need to make early inroads to make things exciting. Day 2 will begin at 8 am GMT but you can join us early for all the build-up. Cheers!
South Africa wasted no time, wrapping up Pakistan's innings in just three balls before taking the field in the last session. The reply started shakily as Khurram Shahzad struck early, removing Tony de Zorzi and Ryan Rickelton in quick succession. But Aiden Markram, having a good record at this venue, counterattacked with fluent strokes, finding support from Tristan Stubbs until he fell to a Mohammad Abbas delivery that stayed low. Markram remained unbeaten on 47, and along with Temba Bavuma dug in, steering South Africa to Stumps with composure after an action-packed day!
Mohammad Rizwan and Kamran Ghulam took the fight to the Proteas with a spirited 81-run stand, with Ghulam scoring a gutsy fifty before falling right on the hour, followed quickly by Rizwan. Just when South Africa seemed in control, Salman Agha and Aamer Jamal added a vital 47 runs, and the last-wicket pair's gritty effort pushed Pakistan past 200. Dane Paterson was sensational with a well-deserved fifer, while debutant Corbin Bosch grabbed four wickets. Despite an extended session, the Proteas were left frustrated by the visitors’ remarkable resilience.
After being asked to bat first, Pakistan’s openers, Saim Ayub and Shan Masood, showed grit in the first hour, surviving Kagiso Rabada's probing spell to reach 36/0. But debutant Corbin Bosch turned the tide with his very first delivery, sparking a dramatic collapse as Pakistan tumbled to 56/4, losing four wickets for just 20 runs. South Africa’s disciplined bowling, led by Bosch and Dane Paterson, left the visitors reeling, though Mohammad Rizwan and Kamran Ghulam fought back with some counterpunching strokes seeing the rest of the session out.
An exhilarating Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test comes to a close! 293 RUNS SCORED, 13 WICKETS FELL! South Africa holds a slight edge, but the game remains finely balanced. The Proteas made excellent use of the conditions with the ball, and Aiden Markram showcased his brilliance with the bat. Pakistan showed glimpses of individual brilliance but will need a more collective effort to truly challenge the hosts. We lost out on a few overs, which was disappointing and with rain forecasted for the next four days, time could play a big factor in this game. Hopefully, the rain stays away and we get to see both teams fight it out for a result with a WTC final spot up for grabs for the Proteas.

OUT! LBW! That one looked dead straight. Mohammad Abbas goes up immediately and the umpire takes no time in putting his finger up. This is bowled full and on the off stump, skids through, keeps a tad bit low. It hits Tristan Stubbs on his shin as he tries to play at it jumping up in the air. The batter knows that it is plumb and there was nothing he could have done about that. Mohammad Abbas picks up his first wicket after a long break from international cricket. Stubbs falls for 9 off 28 and South Africa are 66/3!

Drinks! Despite losing two wickets, South Africa have managed to score at a good rate. Aiden Markram has been superb and is finding the boundaries regularly while Tristan Stubbs is holding up the other end. These two will hope to continue like this and come back on Day 2 to build on it. Pakistan will want to break this stand and pick up a couple of wickets to put pressure back on the hosts.

FOUR! And another. Short and wide, full punishment given. Bowled outside off, nips away. Aiden Markram lines himself up for the cut, stands tall, gets on top of the bounce and cuts hard in front of point on the off side for four more runs. Oh.! It is called a No Ball for overstepping.

Khurram Shahzad To Ryan Rickelton
A loud appeal for LBW but the umpire has turned it down! Khurram Shahzad has asked Shan to take a review and they are going upstairs! Full, just outside off, straightens off the deck, Ryan Rickelton shoulders his arms and plays with his right leg. The ball kisses the pads and goes to the keeper. The Ball Tracking shows that it is missing the stumps. Pakistan loses a review!

FOUR! Nice timing! Khurram Shahzad changes his line and goes middle and leg with a full-length ball, nips back in. Ryan Rickelton is waiting for that line as he comes forward and flicks it wide of mid on. Naseem Shah chases it from mid on but he can't save the boundary even with a dive.

Khurram Shahzad again goes fuller, from over the wicket, around off, shapes in sharply.
