PAK vs SA Live Cricket Score

50.5 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! After all the lifelines, the Proteas will breathe a sigh of relief to see the back of Shafique! Harmer bowls it a tad fuller, pitching it on middle and spins it down the leg side. Shafique rocks back and tries to flick it off his pads but fails to get the ideal connection. The keeper, Kyle Verreynne is quick to move to his left to gather it. After the catch was taken, the Proteas were confident despite the umpire not raising his finger, but eventually, he had to change his verdict after the review. The UltraEdge shows a clear spike as the ball passes the inner edge. Abdullah Shafique has to depart after scoring 57 runs off 146 deliveries!  146/2

12.3 OUT! TIMBER! Simon Harmer produces an absolute peach! Drifting in from around the wicket, on the shorter side. This lands around middle and leg but then turns away to open up Imam-ul-Haq completely. Imam hangs back to deal with it but gets beaten on the outside edge as the ball goes on to hit the top of the off pole. Imam falls for 17 (35). Pakistan are 35/1.  35/1

73.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Keshav Maharaj breaks through for South Africa! This is nicely slowed down and tossed up by Maharaj from over the wicket. It lands on a length, around the off pole. Masood takes a step across the stumps and goes hard on the sweep. He fails to roll his wrists over the ball and control the sweep. Gets a top edge that pops up towards backward square leg, where Marco Jansen moves to his right and extends his hands to take the catch at chest height. Masood falls for 87 (176) and Pakistan are 212/4.  212/4

56 OUT! CAUGHT! A stunner from Tony de Zorzi and Keshav Maharaj has the prized scalp! Speared in by Maharaj from around the wicket, full and on the off pole. Babar Azam presses forward but pushes at the ball with hard hands. The ball lobs off the face of the bat towards silly point, where Tony stays low and sticks out his right hand near his ankle. The ball sticks in his fingers and he ensures that he holds onto it as he completes the dive.  167/3

107.5 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! This is Keshav Maharaj at his best! He gets his fourth wicket! Jogs round the stump and bowls it fuller, pitching it just outside off and gets the delivery to straighten to the left hander. Saud Shakeel lunges toward the delivery to push it toward mid off but gets a slight outside edge. Markram was moving to his left while the ball went to his right. He was wrong footed but reacted superbly to cling onto the catch and prevent the ball from going past him. Saud Shakeel has to depart scoring 66 runs off 147 deliveries.  321/7

84.5 OUT! LBW! Kagiso Rabada strikes with the second new ball! Rabada charges in from over the stumps and bends his back to offer some extra pace on the delivery. He bowls it fuller, pitching it just outside off and it nips back towards middle and leg. Rizwan once again hangs back to deal with it, but is beaten on the inside edge and wears it on the front pad. Rizwan takes the review, but it is wasted as the Ball Tracking pops up three reds with the ball crashing into the leg pole. Mohammad Rizwan departs after scoring 19 runs off 39 deliveries, and Pakistan are 246 for the loss of five wickets!  246/5

105.5 OUT! LBW! That was a long time coming and finally, Keshav Maharaj gets his due. Maharaj pushes this one through a bit quicker, fuller and straighter. Salman Agha lunges and looks to block it down the line but the ball just drifts in a touch and goes past the inside edge to crash into the pads. After a loud appeal, the finger is raised but Salman does review it. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows that the ball would have hit the leg stump. The on-field decision stands and Salman walks back after a momentum-injecting knock of 45 from 76 balls.  316/6

109.3 OUT! CASTLED! Much deserved FIVE-FER for Keshav Maharaj! He bowls it a touch fuller, pitching it just outside off, around the sixth stump and spins it in toward the left hander. Shaheen Afridi crouches down to sweep it uppishly but the ball sneaks past the inner edge to rattle the top of the off stump. The South African dressing room stands up and applauds as Pakistan lose their eighth wicket.  323/8

113.1 OUT! EDGE AND TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Maharaj is just on fire today! He delivers it fuller with some flight to offer, on off and drifts it away from the batter. Sajid Khan plants his front foot to drive it toward cover but gets a thick outside edge and the ball goes straight toward the first slip, where Aiden Markram holds the composure and takes the catch safely.  329/9

113.4 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Keshav Maharaj finishes off with a seven-wicket haul! He delivers it a bit loopy, slower through the air, pitching it outside off and turns it in. Asif Afridi goes for a wild heave across the line but the ball finds the gap between the bat and pad and thumps the stumps. Pakistan are bowled out for 333 on the board!  333/10

20.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Sajid Khan gets the big scalp in his very first over and Aiden Markram will be so disappointed with that shot. Sajid floats this one up around the off stump, enticing the batter to use his feet but Markram just stays put and looks to power it over the bowler's head. However, the ball turns and catches the inside half of the blade, going straight down the throat of the long on fielder, and Saud Shakeel makes no mistake. Markram departs for 32 (62).  54/2

8.2 OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT BEHIND! Shaheen Afridi picks up the first wicket for Pakistan! He pitches it up, fuller, outside off around sixth stump and swings it away from the left-hander. Ryan Rickelton strides out to defend it down, but the ball kisses the outside edge of the willow and goes straight into the gloves of Mohammad Rizwan behind the stumps. Ryan Rickelton has to depart, scoring 14 off 26 deliveries.  22/1

73.4 OUT! LBW! Asif Afridi you beauty! The debutant is just unstoppable! Afridi delivers it fuller, pitching it on middle and angles it in sharply. Stubbs goes deep into the crease to flick it off his pads, but the ball skids low and sneaks past the inside edge to thump the lower front pad. After a huge appeal, up goes the finger of the umpire. Tristan Stubbs decides to review. UltraEdge shows no bat involvement, and the Ball Tracking turns three reds as the ball crashes onto the leg stump. The on-field decision stands, and South Africa have two reviews left in the bank. Stubbs departs after a fine 76 off 205, and South Africa are 204/6.  204/6

57.5 OUT! LBW! What a moment for this man! The 38-year-old debutant has picked his first test wicket and gets the big fish! Asif Afridi delivers it fuller, pitching it just outside off and turning it in. Tony de Zorzi should have played the delivery front-footed, but he chose to go back and looked to flick it with the spin, but the ball stays low and thumps the pad. Appeal goes round, and the umpire remains unmoved. Shan Masood opts for the review, UltraEdge shows no bat involvement, and Ball Tracking pops up three reds. Tony de Zorzi has to depart for 55 runs off 93 deliveries!  167/3

59.3 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Asif Afridi is having a blast! He bowls it fuller, pitching it on off and drifting it away from the right-hander. Brevis rocks back and looks to block it to down the track but the ball catches the outside edge and flies toward the right of the slip fielder. This time, the ball carries well and Salman Agha does exceptionally well to tumble away and scoops it safely into his palms.  171/4

65.4 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! It's the ideal start for Pakistan on Day 3, and they are enjoying it! This is exceptional from Afridi, as he bowls it a touch fuller, on off, clicks 83 kph, and turns it away from the right-hander. Kyle Verreynne strides out and looks to defend it toward the off side, but the ball just nicks the outside edge and goes straight into the gloves of Mohammad Rizwan. Kyle Verreynne has to depart scoring 10 runs off 29 deliveries. South Africa lose half their side now.  185/5

75.5 OUT! LBW! That's the FIVE-FER for Asif Afridi! This has been nothing short of a dream debut. He bowls it fuller, pitching it on middle, angling it inward, but spins it a bit away to straighten the delivery. Harmer attempts to offer a reverse sweep, but the ball misses the willow and hits the pad. There is a big shout for LBW, and the finger goes up again. Simon Harmer, after reviewing, sees that the UltraEdge shows no spike as the ball misses his bat, and Ball Tracking reveals three reds with the ball hitting the middle stump. South Africa are 210 for 7, still trailing by 123 runs.  210/7

84.4 OUT! LBW! Noman Ali strikes now! A fine bowling change from Pakistan as they get another breakthrough here. This is the arm ball, full, on middle and off, angling in. Marco Jansen gets forward but plays for the turn away and also fails to get his bat ahead of the pad. The ball goes in and thumps him on the front pad. There is a big shout for LBW, but turned down. Shan Masood, after a chat with his keeper and bowler, takes the review. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved. Ball Tracking comes up now. It shows the impact is just in line and the ball is crashing onto middle. Good review for Pakistan. South Africa are eight down now!  235/8

100 OUT! STUMPED! Noman Ali finally gets the breakthrough for Pakistan! He sees the batter advance and drags his length back, on middle, turns it away sharply. Keshav Maharaj, after playing those five dots, could not resist himself and went for the big lofted shot over extra covers. He gets beaten on the flight and by the turn as it goes behind, where Mohammad Rizwan does the rest. The budding 71-run partnership has been broken as Maharaj walks back for 30 off 53. South Africa are 306/9, trailing by 27 runs!  306/9

119.3 OUT! IN THE AIR... TAKEN! Asif Afridi gets his sixth wicket and the Proteas are all out! Afridi bowls it fuller, pitching it on off and turning it in. Kagiso Rabada looks to slog it away but fails to get underneath the delivery. The ball loops and flies toward the fielder in the long on region. It's Abdullah Shafique, who misjudges the ball at first but eventually does well to lean forward and take the catch near his shoelaces. South Africa ends up with a lead of 71 runs.  404/10

4 OUT! LBW! Simon Harmer gets the first breakthrough! Bowls it fuller, pitching it on middle and angles it in. Imam-ul-Haq prods and looks to block it, hoping the ball will turn away, but the ball misses the inside edge and pings the pad. Appeal goes around and up goes the finger of the umpire. Imam-ul-Haq opts for a review, but the UltraEdge shows no bat involvement and the Ball Tracking shows the ball is clipping the leg stump. Simon Harmer gets Imam-ul-Haq for the second time in this match!  12/1

6.1 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! South Africa gets back-to-back wickets as Kagiso Rabada strikes now! He steams over the stump and pitches it just outside off, angling it in, but straightens after hitting the deck. Abdullah Shafique tries to play at it with an angled bat and away from his body, but the ball takes the outside edge and zips toward the third slip. It isn't an easy catch for a tall man like Marco Jansen to adjust his body in a short period of time, but he gets low rapidly and takes the catch near his chest. Pakistan are 16 for 3, still trailing by 55 runs.  16/3

6 OUT! LBW! Simon Harmer gets another wicket and this time he takes the skipper of Pakistan, who had an exceptional knock in the first inning! Harmer bowls it touch fuller, pitching it on off and angles it in with more pace on the delivery. The ball pitches and attacks the batter. Shan Masood rocks back and looks to fend it away but misses as the ball skids through and wears it on the pad. There is a big shout for LBW, and the fingers go up without hesitation. It looks plumb, but Masood takes the review. UltraEdge shows no spike when the ball passes the bat, and the Ball Tracking shows that the trajectory of the ball is hitting the leg stump. Three reds! Pakistan lose their skipper, and he takes a review with him as well.  16/2

35.5 OUT! LBW! 50 and gone for Babar! Simon Harmer picks up his fourth! Appeal from the bowler and up goes the finger. Babar Azam sends it upstairs to have a look. Quicker delivery, on a length, lands on off, and spins back into middle and leg. It also stays a tad low. Babar is on the back foot to defend, but the ball skids through and hits him on the pad. Looks dead to the naked eye. The Ball Tracking shows three reds as it crashes into on middle, and Babar Azam is a goner. Pakistan are rocked early on Day 4.  96/5

20.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Simon Harmer breaks the 44-run stand with his third wicket in this session. He tosses it up nicely, full and just on off, grips and turns away sharply. Saud Shakeel strides forward and pushes at it with hard hands. Gets a thin outside edge towards first slip, where Aiden Markram takes a sharp catch. Shakeel departs for 11 off 43, and Pakistan are four down now!  60/4

39.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Simon Harmer gets a MAIDEN Test five-fer! Tosses it on a length, spins back into the middle. Rizwan prods to block it but gets the inside edge onto the pad, and it further lobs to the man at short leg. Tony de Zorzi there makes no mistake and Rizwan is a goner. He walks back for 18 off 64, and both the overnight batters are back in the hut. Pakistan are 105/6, leading by 34 runs!  105/6

47.5 OUT! DRAGGED ON! The move to bring back Keshav Maharaj has paid dividends. Flatter and quicker arm ball, angled into the off and middle stump line. Salman Agha goes back to cut this away but, this is too close to his body for that shot. He ends up chopping it back onto the off stump. Agha departs for 28 off 42, and Pakistan are 129/9, leading by just 58 runs.  129/9

41.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Simon Harmer is on fire! Tossed up on a length, on off, and gets it to turn away. Noman Ali comes forward to defend but gets a feather of an edge that is taken with ease by Kyle Verreynne behind the stumps. This is also the 1000th First Class wicket for the off-spinner. South Africa are on top here.  105/7

42.1 OUT! AFRIDI IS RUN OUT! Another one bites the dust. Back-of-a-length delivery angled into the batter. Salman Agha hops and nudges it towards short mid-wicket. They hustle for a quick single. A sharp piece of fielding from Ryan Rickelton at short mid-wicket with a precise underarm throw at the keeper’s end catches Shaheen Afridi short. There is a collision between Afridi and Rickelton, and the batter looks in a bit of pain. The replay confirms he’s just out of his crease, and the big screen flashes OUT!  105/8

49.3 OUT! STUMPED! All over for Pakistan. Keshav Maharaj finishes the innings with a couple of wickets. Tosses it full on off and gets it to turn away, around off. Sajid Khan shimmies down to heave it away, but he misses completely, and Kyle Verreynne does the rest behind the stumps. Pakistan are bundled out for just 138, leading by a mere 67 runs.  138/10

11.3 OUT! LBW! Finally, a wicket for Pakistan! Noman Ali tosses it up, full and on middle, turning away a bit. Aiden Markram goes for the sweep again, but this is not that full for that shot. He has to stretch out a bit and misses to get hit on the pads. There is a big appeal for LBW, and this time the finger goes up. Markram takes the review. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Ball Tracking shows two reds and that the ball is hitting the top of off on umpire's call. Markram goes back for 42 off 45.  64/1

12 OUT!  EDGED AND GONE! Noman Ali gets his second in the over! He slows it up, full and around off, turning it away. Tristan Stubbs takes a big stride forward and pushes at it with hard hands. Gets an outside edge towards first slip, where Salman Agha makes no mistake. Stubbs is not happy with himself as he goes back for a 4-baller.  65/2
