PAK vs SA Live Cricket Score

20.3 OUT! WHAT A CATCH THAT IS! An absolute stunner from Imran Tahir. It is still difficult to believe this guy is a 40-year old. There, he showed reflexes of an 18-year old. Absolutely magnificent. With that piece of brilliance, he has also become South Africa's highest wicket taker in World Cups. Tahir floats this up around off, Imam sees the flight and comes down the track, he hits it firmly to the right of the bowler. Tahir reacts quickly, gets down, stretches one hand to his right and the ball sticks. Imam can't believe it and Tahir is off on his celebratory run. Second for Tahir, he has brought South Africa back into the game. Both the openers have been dismissed for 44. 98/2

14.5 OUT! Caught at slip! Imran Tahir is off on a celebratory run and South Africa have their first wicket. Full and around off, Fakhar looks to play the paddle but gets an outside edge. The ball lobs in the air and Tahir is already running to his left before Amla can take the catch. All the hard work put in by Fakhar has been undone by this poor choice of a shot. Nevertheless, a solid opening stand from Pakistan. 81/1

41.2 OUT! Azam holes out! Phehlukwayo gets the big fish! Once again Azam does not convert his fifty. End of the stand that was looking very threatening. Andile goes full and outside off, Azam looks to go inside out but ends up hitting it a little too squarer than he would have liked. It goes straight to Ngidi at sweeper cover who makes no mistake. South Africa need to keep taking wickets if they are to stem the run flow here. 224/4

30 OUT! Markram breaks the stand which was looking really promising! He provides the vital breakthrough. He is probably the last bowler who I thought would take a wicket for South Africa today. He bowls this extremely full around off, it pitches and straightens. Hafeez picks the wrong ball to sweep. He misses and gets hit on the pads. An appeal follows and the umpire raises the finger. Azam and Hafeez do have a chat but then the 15 seconds are up and Hafeez has to continue the long walk back. Good he did not review as Ball Tracker shows three reds. South Africa continue to take timely wickets. 143/3

49.5 OUT! No ton for Sohail! But a knock which probably could make the difference. He walks off to a standing ovation and he deserves every bit of it. Ngidi gets another! His third. It is the slower one on middle, once again a batsman does not pick it. Sohail is early in his slog. The top edge is induced and it goes high up in the air towards the keeper who makes no mistake. Three runs and two wickets in this over. One ball to go, can Ngidi end it well? 307/7

48 OUT! Good catch to end a brilliant, brilliant partnership for Pakistan! The duo have surely done their job. Imad uses his feet and looks to clear long off. Does not get under the ball though and hence the distance is not there. Substitute Duminy in the deep runs in and takes a good catch diving forward. 295/5

49.1 OUT! TIMBER! Completely deceived there! Ngidi rolls his fingers on this delivery, lands it on off. Wahab is way too early in the shot. He misses and the ball hits the top of middle. Ideal start to the last over for South Africa. 304/6

1.1 OUT! LBW! Three reds and Amla is a goner! Amir strikes on his first ball itself! Excellent use of the technology. Amir lands this around middle and leg and gets it to tail back in. Amla looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal follows but the umpire shakes his head. The ball rolls towards square leg as the batsmen cross ends. Amir is confident that is plumb but Sarfaraz is not sure. He eventually goes with his bowler and takes the review. Replays roll in and they show that the ball is pitching in line and is hitting the leg stump. South Africa have been rocked early, just the start they did not want. 4/1

19.2 OUT! That is clean as a whistle! Important, important catch and a big, big wicket as de Kock just started to get going. Also, this 87-run partnership started to look very threatening. Shadab Khan tosses this up on middle, de Kock looks to play the slog sweep. He does not get it off the middle and it goes flat towards deep square leg. Imam there seems to have taken it diving forward and inches above the ground. The Pakistan players celebrate but the umpire are seen having a chat in the middle. They then take it upstairs and the SOFT SIGNAL IS OUT! Replays roll in and it shows that the ball has not touched the ground. De Kock walks back after getting off to yet another start. 50TH ODI WICKET FOR SHADAB! 91/2

29.3 OUT! In the air... taken! Faf du Plessis is out of here and this is a body blow for South Africa. Their hopes of chasing this down has been dented big time here. Amir does what he was brought on for. Excellent bowling change from Pakistan. This is slightly short and angling away from off. The line was key as Faf looks to drag his shot on the leg side. All he manages is a top edge which goes high up in the air beside the wicket. Sarfaraz calls for it and makes no mistake. The crowd here knows the importance of the wicket as they are going bonkers. Pakistan easily on top at the moment. 173 needed in 123. 136/4

23.1 OUT! KABOOM! Shadab gets another and Markram's poor World Cup continues. This was on the cards wasn't? He has always been shaky against spin and falls to a spinner. Poor shot selection! It is the slider on off, it skids through. Markram goes back and looks to cut. The line and the length is not right, it skids through and disturbs the stumps. South Africa now in trouble here. 206 more needed in 161 balls. 103/3

39.4 OUT! Pakistan finally hang onto one. A very good catch this by Hafeez. Also, clever bowling from Shadab. He slows it up and bowls it outside off, it is the leg spinner. It pitches and turns away. Rassie looks to hit it against the spin, over the leg side but gets a top edge. It goes high in the air, so high that it probably has snow on it as it comes down. Sarfaraz goes for it and Hafeez from point is also interested. The latter calls for it, Sarfaraz lets it be and Mohammad takes it with a dive to his right. 189/5

40.5 OUT! TIMBER! Game, set and match for Pakistan? Probably yes! Miller had to go for it, the run rate kept on increasing and he perishes in the attempt to do so. He takes a few steps down and Shaheen Afridi bowls it slightly shorter on middle. Miller looks to heave it but misses and the ball hits the top of leg stump. 192/6

44.2 OUT! Waahab gets his first! He says, he needs no support from his fielders and he will do it by himself! A corker of a yorker there. It is right at the base of leg stump. Tails away. Morris fails to jam it out and he has to take the long walk back. 222/7

46.5 OUT! Full, straight and Wahab has knocked Rabada over! Too good this for the no. 9. This starts from outside off and then it tails back in. Rabada misses his drive and the middle stump is disturbed. 239/8

48.2 OUT! This is why he wanted to get off strike! Wahab is just too good for him. Wahab lands this one middle and gets it to straighten. Ngidi plays the original trajectory and gets squared up. The ball goes past the outside edge and knocks the stumps behind. 246/9
