PAK vs SA Live Cricket Score

4.3 OUT! GONE! Marco Jansen gets the first one. He uses the pitch well. Generates the extra bounce off this pitch, this is short and on middle, Shafique looks to pull, gets a bit cramped and top edges it to fine leg where Lungi Ngidi takes a simple catch. 20/1

6.3 OUT! TAKEN! JANSEN HAS ANOTHER ONE! Imam with yet another low score. This is full and outside off. Imam goes after it, he sees the width and his eyes lit up. It goes off the outside edge towards gully and Heinrich Klaasen takes it. Despite the flying start, Pakistan in a spot of bother. 38/2

27.5 Was there an edge? Not sure. Azam looks to play the paddle scoop. But the ball lands on middle and turns away. Ultra Edge shows a spike as it passes thr glove. OUT! The on-field call has been overturned. Azam has to walk back shortly after getting to his half ton and that is a body blow for Pakistan. They needed him to play long. Excellent review in the end. It was more out of hope first but it results in a wicket. 141/5

15.5 OUT! TAKEN! Off the gloves. Gerald Coetzee comes and strikes. Breaks the most vital stand. A good short one. He is really bending his back. Rizwan looks to pull, it goes off the glove and keeper takes it. Rizwan looked good till the time he was there but now has to walk back. South Africa now on top. 86/3

25.1 OUT! TAKEN! Shamsi strikes. He came into the side for taking wickets and he strikes. Iftikhar Ahmed steps out but is beaten in flight. He still swings but ends up hitting it high up in the air towards long on. Heinrich Klaasen takes it. 129/4

42.1 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! The well-set Saud Shakeel falls. That is the third for Tabraiz Shamsi and that is another important wicket. Saud Shakeel was playing beautifully but now has to walk back. This could well dampen the chances of Pakistan getting to 300. Shorter and around off, this lands and spins away. Saud Shakeel looks to cut but this goes off the outside edge and the keeper does the rest. South African into the bowling all-rounders. 240/7

39.4 OUT! TAKEN! The 84-runs stand is broken. This is short and on middle, got big on Khan as he looks to pull, he gets a top edge to mid-wicket where Keshav Maharaj takes a sitter. South Africa needed this wicket. Can they pull things back from hereon? 225/6

45.5 OUT! TAKEN! The last recognized batter is out of here. Mohammad Nawaz falls. This is a slower one, a well-disguised slower one. On the fuller side. Mohammad Nawaz swings, he is through the shot and ends up hitting it high up in the air. David Miller takes it at point. 300 now looks far-fetched. 268/9

44.2 OUT! TAKEN! Shaheen Afridi falls now! This is nicely tossed up, it lands around middle and then spins away. Shaheen Afridi goes back and looks to defend but this takes the outside edge and man at first slip takes it. Good captaincy to keep the slip in place. Shamsi has 4. He has four balls to get one more. Can he do it? 259/8

46.4 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! There is the last wicket. This is full and outside off, Mohammad Wasim looks to hammer it through the off side but this goes off the outside edge and it is taken by the keeper. Pakistan HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 270! 270/10

9.5 OUT! GONE! The skipper goes. Hits the hard-length and bowls it on middle, Bavuma tries to heave, he did well before but this time the extra bounce doesn't help him. He mistimes it to mid-wicket where Saud Shakeel initially went backwards but runs forward and takes in the end. 67/2

3.3 OUT! TAKEN! Shaheen Afridi strikes! This time Pakistan hold onto the first catch they get! Huge, huge wicket.The man with three tons in the World Cup so far has to walk back. He will feel a little hard done. He hit that well but straight to the fielder. Shortish and on middle, Quinton de Kock rocks back and pulls it but straight to square leg. Mohammad Wasim takes it. Can this be the confidence booster Shaheen needed? Pakistan will hope so. 34/1

18.5 OUT! LBW! Usama Mir has done it. However, Rassie van der Dussen has taken a review. He feels it is spinning down. It was the googly, flat and on middle and leg, van der Dussen misses his clip and gets hit on the pads. No bat on it. Ball Tracking shows it is umpire's call on the impact and also on wicket's hitting. On-field decision stays. Out of nowhere, Usama Mir has made an impact. 121/3

40.2 OUT! TAKEN! Babar Azam takes it and puts in a loud roar. He believes, the Pakistan dug out now believes as they have got the last recognized batter, Aiden Markram! Usama Mir, the gamble to go to him pays off. South Africa still 21 runs away. This time luck favors Usama Mir. We saw a couple of times, Markram clearing point after the ball hitting the outer half but this time it finds the fielder. This is tossed up outside off, Aiden Markram's eyes lit up as he sees the flight. He looks to go big downtown but it goes off the outer half towards point. Azam takes it by running back. Top knock from Markram but has he opened the door for Pakistan here? 250/7

21.4 OUT! TAKEN That missed chance has not cost a lot. A huge wicket is taken by Wasim. Where has he been all this while. He has been brilliant today. Beaten for pace here is Heinrich Klaasen. This is short and on middle, Klaasen looks to pull, it goes off the to edge down to third man and the fielder does the rest. Pakistan back into this one. 136/4

33.1 TAKEN! HAS IT BEEN? IT IS REVIEWED! OUT! A clear spike. Miller has to walk back. The catch is clean too and just as the curtains were shutting on Pakistan. They get the important wicket. It is Shaheen who does it. Good length and on off, this lands and moves away. Takes the edge and Rizwan does the rest. 206/5

36.5 OUT! GONE! Soft dismissal. Quick innings from Jansen comes to an end. A length ball, outside off, Jansen tries to ride it past backward point but plays aerially and to the left of Babar Azam who takes a fine catch. 235/6

41.1 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Two in the last two overs and Pakistan will feel they are on top now. They are two wickets away with South Africa needing another 21 runs. It is Shaheen Afridi who gets the breakthrough. He has his third. Now they surely believe as they are into the tail. This is fuller and outside off, angling away. Gerald Coetzee goes after it away from the body, it takes the outside edge and the keeper does the rest. 250/8

45.3 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Pakistan need one more wicket. What a game this is turning out to be. This is full and angling on middle, Ngidi tries to use the angle and flick but gets a leading edge back to Haris Rauf who dives forward, gets his left hand out and plucks right above the ground. Unbelievable! 260/9
