SA vs PAK Live Cricket Score

14.1 OUT! CAUGHT! An absolute dream start for Corbin Bosch on debut! He starts off with a full and wide one, outside off stump, nipping further away. Shan Masood throws his hands at it, from inside his crease, takes the outer half of the bat and it flies quickly towards Marco Jansen at gully where he takes it near his left shoulder. This is a start that Test cricketers dream about and Corbin Bosch is living it. South Africa have their first wicket.  36/1

15.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Second wicket after the break! Saim departs now! Both openers are back in the hut after playing the first hour brilliantly. A good length ball, on off, from around the wicket, straightens off the deck, Saim Ayub tries to block it with the full face of the bat from the back foot. He presses forward as the ball takes the outside edge of the bat and goes straight to the keeper Kyle Verreynne who takes it comfortably at chest height.  40/2

17.2 OUT! CAUGHT AT SECOND SLIP! Dane has got the big fish! Babar departs for just 4. Second wicket for Dane Paterson. He bowls on a hard length from over the wicket, just outside off. Babar Azam just has a poke at the delivery away from his body with no foot movement. The ball kisses the outside edge and goes straight to the second slip where Aiden Markram takes it nicely with both hands near his waist. From 36/0, Pakistan have slipped to 41/3.  41/3

38 OUT! TAKEN! Not safe this time! An outrageous shot and Kamran Ghulam has thrown away his wicket here. The bowling change has worked like a treat for South Africa and they have finally managed to break the 81-run stand. Dane Paterson sees the batter advance and bangs this into the pitch, on middle, angling in. Ghulam skips down the track and tries to heave it across the line but gets cramped up and only manages to get a top edge. The ball flies towards deep square leg where Kagiso Rabada runs to his left, settles under it nicely and takes a good catch. A huge cheer from the crowd! Ghulam walks back for 54 off 71 and Pakistan lose half their side now!  137/5

18.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A loud appeal from the bowler and the keeper but the umpire is unmoved. South Africa decide to challenge the decision. This one is bowled short and angled down leg. Saud Shakeel decides to take it on as he gets inside the line. He looks to pull it away behind square but misses and the keeper Kyle Verreynne takes it to his right. UltraEdge shows that there is a slight murmur just when it is next to the right glove. The South African players are overjoyed as they see this on the big screen. Corbin Bosch has his second wicket. From 36/0, Pakistan have now lost 4 wickets for 20 runs.  56/4

40 OUT! CAUGHT AT SECOND SLIP! Rizwan departs on 27! Dane Paterson gets his fourth and Pakistan are in trouble now as they are 142/6. Dane Paterson continuously bowls in the channel on hard length as this ball gets a little bit of outswing later on. Mohammad Rizwan who is already batting out of his crease, pokes at it but his head falls and he loses his bottom hand as well. The ball goes off the outside edge to second slip where Aiden Markram takes a simple catch with both hands.  142/6

50 OUT! NUMBER FIVE FOR PATERSON! Back-to-back fifers for him in Test matches and this means a lot to him. The field was brought in before this ball and the hosts get the reward for it. Dane Paterson bangs in a good short ball around off, Salman Agha wants the strike and tries to swat it towards mid-wicket but goes through his shot a bit too early. The ball lobs up off the toe-end of the bat and Ryan Rickelton from point runs forward and takes a fine diving catch. Pakistan eight down now!  189/8

48.5 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Corbin Bosch responds in brilliant fashion and he is pumped up here. This is on a good length and outside off again, Aamer Jamal throws his bat at it but has to reach out and goes a bit too hard at it. He loses his shape and only manages to get an inside edge back onto the stumps. Jamal falls for 28 off 27 and Pakistan are seven down now!  189/7

50.1 OUT! TWO IN TWO FOR SOUTH AFRICA! Corbin Bosch gets his fourth now! He goes fuller and on middle, sticks to the surface a bit. Naseem Shah tries to drive it down the ground but gets a bit hurried by the pace on the ball. It hits him high on the bat and loops towards mid on where Kagiso Rabada takes a dolly. Pakistan are 189/9 now!  189/9

57.3 OUT! CAUGHT! It only took three deliveries after the break to wrap up Pakistan's innings. This one is bowled full and just outside off, nips in, takes off after pitching. Khurram Shahzad opens up his body to pull it towards the leg side but it takes the leading edge and stands up tall in the sky. Dane Paterson stationed at mid-wicket stedies himself under the ball and completes the catch easily in the end. Pakistan are bundled out for a mere 211 runs.  211/10

55.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Pakistan have got the big fish! Aiden Markram departs at 89! Khurram Shahzad bangs in short, around middle and leg, and the ball climbs onto the batter and seams in. Aiden Markram looks to pull it from the back foot but only manages to get a feather of the gloves onto it as the ball passes above his shoulders and goes to the keeper. Mohammad Rizwan takes it right to him nicely. Eighth down for South Africa and Pakistan will sense that they can bowl out SA quickly here. Markram is absolutely livid with himself as he misses out on a well-deserved hundred.  213/8

3 OUT! BOWLED! WHAT A BALL! Khurram Shahzad has got his man on the last ball of the over! Tony de Zorzi departs for just 2! Khurram Shahzad again goes fuller, from over the wicket, around off, shapes in sharply. Tony de Zorzi comes forward to defend it with the full face of the bat but the ball finds the gap between bat and pads and goes to rattle the stumps. First down for South Africa! Pakistan players are pumped up!  7/1

6.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! An excellent catch by Mohammad Rizwan! Khurram Shahzad has got his second! He bowls on hard length, just outside off, from around the wicket, jags back in. Ryan Rickelton is tentative there and pokes at it from the front foot. The ball takes the outside edge and flies behind barely reaching the keeper, but Mohammad Rizwan dives forward to gobble it up. The replays also confirm it is a clean catch. South Africa two down now!  24/2

15.4 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!  66/3

36.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Pakistan finally have their man. This one is bowled full and outside off, just in the probing channel, inviting the drive. Temba Bavuma goes forward and prods at it but the ball takes the outside edge and flies at a comfortable height into Mohammad Rizwan's gloves. Probably he could have left it alone, looking in hindsight. Bavuma goes for 31 off 74 and South Africa are 4 down now, still trailing by 72 runs.  136/4

45 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Naseem Shah strikes just before Lunch! A loose shot from David Bedingham and he throws his wicket away here. This is on a hard length and in that channel outside off, nips away slightly. David Bedingham stays in his crease and tries to push at it with hard hands and away from his body. He only manages to get an outside edge towards first slip where Kamran Ghulam takes a sharp catch. Bedingham will be kicking himself as departs for a quick 30 off 33 and the Proteas lose half their side now.  178/5

48.3 OUT! TAKEN AT SLIPS! Naseem Shah strikes again! Just what Pakistan needed after the break. Pitched up and well outside off, inviting the drive. Kyle Verreynne obliges and goes after it but without much foot movement. He just throws his bat at it and the away movement catches the outside edge. It goes straight to Salman Agha at second slip, who makes no mistake. South Africa are six down now and still trailing by 23 runs!  188/6

50.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Marco Jansen falls now. Pakistan finally have their man after the dropped chance a ball before. Bowled just back of a length and outside off, just nips away off the wicket. Marco Jansen stays inside his crease and tries to punch it towards cover, instead takes a faint outside edge and Mohammad Rizwan completes a regulation catch behind the stumps. South Africa still finds themselves trailing 20 runs.  191/7

62.5 OUT! TAKEN! Aamer Jamal gets his second wicket now! Kagiso Rabada tries to be aggressive but holes out here. This is banged hard into the pitch and on middle, skids through a bit. Kagiso Rabada backs away to heave it over mid-wicket but his bat turns in his hand and he mistimes his shot. The ball goes high in the air, and Babar Azam from mid on runs forward a bit and takes the catch. South Africa nine down now but they lead by 43 runs!  254/9

73.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Pakistan finally ends the agony. Corbin Bosch exposes his non-striker for the first time and he falls immediately. Quicker, fuller, looped up, turns away after pitching. Dane Paterson looks to loft it over long off but ends up hitting it straight up in the air. Khurram Shahzad circles underneath it as the ball swerves on its way down. Shahzad somehow manages to grab it in between both his hands over his shoulders. South Africa have been bowled out for 301 with a first-innings lead of 90 runs.  301/10

10.3 OUT! BOWLED! Cleaned him up! Kagiso Rabada gets the breakthrough! Coming from around the wicket, bowls it full and just outside the off stump, and nips outward slightly off the wicket. Saim Ayub presents a full face of the bat but playing down the wrong line. The ball goes past the outside edge and clips the top of off peg. South Africa is in among the wickets.  49/1

16.3 OUT! CAUGHT IN THE SLIPS! Marco Jansen has picked up the opposition captain. Goes back of a length, just around the off stump channel, nips away just a tad bit. Shan Masood is opened up completely, it takes the shoulder of the bat and goes on the downward trajectory towards Tristan Stubbs at third slip where he dives low towards his left to take it. Hold on, the third Umpire is checking whether Stubbs has his fingers underneath the ball. He checks with a couple of side-on replays and finally comes to the conclusion that the fingers are underneath the ball and it is given out! Pakistan are two down now and are still trailing by 20 runs.  70/2

36.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Babar Azam holes out in the deep. Coming in from around the wicket, Marco Jansen bowls it short and wide outside off, nips away. Babar Azam shuffles towards the line of the ball and cuts it hard and uppishly to go up and over sweeper cover but fails to get the required power. Corbin Bosch does not have to move an inch at the sweeper cover fence and completes a regulation catch with ease. Babar Azam has fallen right into the trap and has to walk now. He departs right after his fifty and the 79-run stand has been broken now!  153/4

18.5 OUT! TAKEN! Typical Marco Jansen response! He just let the ball do the talking here. Hits the length hard and just on off, angles in and then moves away. Kamran Ghulam gets drawn on his front foot and pushes at it with hard hands. The extra bounce means the ball flies off the shoulder of the bat towards gully. Ryan Rickelton does extremely well to get his hands down quickly to catch it with the ball dying on him. Similar to the Stubbs catch earlier. The umpires want to check again but the replays show that the fingers are underneath and it is a clean catch. Pakistan three down now and still trails by 16 runs!  74/3

56.4 OUT! LBW! This is as straight as it can get! Marco Jansen goes up immediately and umpire puts his finger up in an instant. Coming from around the wicket, Jansen bowls a full toss, on middle. Saud Shakeel gets surprised by it and completely misses the ball getting thumped on the pads right in front of the stumps. Shakeel still sends this one for review. UltraEdge confirms no bat and Ball Tracking shows impact is in line and wickets are hitting. Saud Shakeel's vigil comes to an end finally.  236/9

41 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Marco Jansen gets his fourth! A strangle down leg and an unfortunate dismissal for Mohammad Rizwan. Coming in from around the wicket, bowled short and angled towards the batter, nips in further. Mohammad Rizwan shuffles across and looks to pull it fine but instead, the ball just sneaks under and grazes the top glove on its way to the keeper where Ryan Rickelton dives forward to his left to take the catch. South Africa is overjoyed, and this might open the floodgates for them. Pakistan lose half of their side now and leads by 82 runs.  172/5

42.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Right on queue. Marco Jansen gets a FIFER! Coming in from around the wicket, bowled fuller outside off, dragging Salman Agha into the drive. He goes for it with full intent. The ball just bounces a bit more off the wicket, takes the outside edge and Kyle Verreynne behind the stumps completes a regulation catch. The lead now looks a lot smaller, sitting at just 86 runs with just four wickets remaining.  176/6

49.5 OUT! TAKEN! Dane Paterson strikes at a crucial time for South Africa! He bangs this one short and around middle. Aamer Jamal decides to take it on and goes for the pull shot. However, he is unable to roll his wrists and fails to keep it down. The ball travels flat and aerially towards deep square leg where Ryan Rickelton comes forward a bit and takes a good catch. The budding stand of 32 runs is broken now. Pakistan seven down with a lead of 118 runs!  208/7

50.4 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Kagiso Rabada gets his second now! The decision to take the single on the first ball has backfired for Saud Shakeel here. Rabada lands this one short of a length and in that channel outside off, gets some extra bounce as well. Naseem Shah gets in two minds whether to play it or leave. He ends up doing neither and keeps his bat hanging out. The ball takes the toe-end and flies straight to third slip where Tristan Stubbs takes another good catch. Shah goes for a duck and Pakistan are eight down now!  209/8

59.4 OUT! CAUGHT AT SECOND SLIP! Pakistan have been bowled out for 237! Corbin Bosch has wrapped things up here. Hard length, around off, angling in, from over the stumps. Mohammad Abbas wants to defend it from the back foot and shows the full face of the bat. But he only manages to get a thick outside edge that flies to the second slip where Aiden Markram takes it diving fully right to him with both hands. The target for South Africa will be 148 runs!  237/10

3.3 OUT! LBW! Mohammad Abbas draws first blood! He goes fuller this time, on middle and off, gets it to shape back in sharply too. Tony de Zorzi tries to cover the line by moving across but plays down the wrong line and gets hit on the front pads. There is a massive appeal and the finger goes up. de Zorzi has a chat with his partner and takes the review. The replay confirms no bat involved, Ball Tracking shows two reds and impact is umpire's call. South Africa retains the review but lose their first wicket. They are 11/1, needing another 137 runs!  11/1

23.3 OUT! BOWLED! Mohammad Abbas strikes! There is that elusive wicket of Aiden Markram. Once again, a break in play brings a wicket for the fielding side. This one is bowled from wide outside the crease, pitches it full and just outside off stump, nips in slightly, and keeps very low. Aiden Markram is caught inside his crease, fails to get his bat down in time, and plays down the wrong line as well. The ball goes through and shatters the stumps. Markram walks back after a gritty 37 off 63, and South Africa still requires 86 runs more.  62/4

4.5 OUT! LBW! A fantastic review from Pakistan! Another failure for Ryan Rickelton as he walks back for a duck. Khurram Shahzad gets into the act now. Pitched up and on middle and off, nips back in sharply. Ryan Rickelton steps across to block but misses and gets hit on the pads. Much like Tony de Zorzi he too plays down the wrong line. However, this time the umpire does not give it out, and after a lot of discussion, Shan Masood sends it upstairs. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved but Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. Jubilation in the Pakistan camp as South Africa lose their second wicket now!  12/2

7.5 OUT! LBW! Mohammad Abbas strikes again! Another fine review from Pakistan. Goes fuller this time and changes the line to stumps around off and middle, nips away a shy bit. Tristan Stubbs looks to defend it with the full face of the bat from the front foot but gets beaten on the outside edge and wears it on the pads. Abbas and every other Pakistani player appeal for LBW but the umpire isn't convinced enough to raise the finger! Shan Masood has gone upstairs after asking from the slip fielders and keeper. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds much to the delight of the visitors. Tristan Stubbs has to depart now. Third down for South Africa and they still need 129 runs to win!  19/3

29.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Mohammad Abbas, you beauty! This game is still alive! Pakistan gets the big wicket of Temba Bavuma at a crucial point in this Test. This one is bowled on a good length and on off, jags back in sharply. Bavuma skips down the track to loft it down the ground but the inward movement takes a thin inside edge behind where Mohammad Rizwan makes no mistake. Bavuma walks back for 40 off 78. Oh..wow! The South African skipper did not take the review here, but UltraEdge shows that the noise was from the ball hitting his back pocket and not his bat. Huge moment in the game. South Africa lose half their side now and still needs 52 runs to win.  96/5

31.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! NUMBER FIVE FOR ABBAS! He has been superb and the decision to give him the extended spell is working like a treat for Pakistan. This is on a hard length and in the corridor of uncertainty, holds its line. David Bedingham steps across and looks to defend it but only manages to get a thin outside edge behind. Mohammad Rizwan dives forward and takes a sharp catch. The umpires want to check, but the replay shows that it is a clean catch. South Africa seven down now!  99/7

31 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Another one bites the dust! Pakistan are well and truly back in the game. Naseem Shah hits the length hard this time and just on of, gets it to nip back in a bit. Kyle Verreynne stays in his crease and tries to guide it away but his feet go nowhere. He plays away from his body and only manages to get an inside edge back onto the stumps. South Africa are 99/6, still needing 49 runs to win!  99/6

31.3 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! TWO IN TWO FOR PAKISTAN! Mohammad Abbas once again hits the length hard and just around off, takes off a bit. Corbin Bosch stays back and tries to punch it away but gets an outside edge behind where Mohammad Rizwan makes no mistake. He could have left that, but now has to walk back for a golden duck. Abbas gets his sixth and Pakistan are just two wickets away from the win now!  99/8
