SA vs PAK Live Cricket Score

15.2 OUT! GONE! An appeal for the caught behind and the umpire has raised his finger! He walks off! A big wicket for Pakistan as they are celebrating because the drop hasn't cost them much! Full ball, just outside off, a bit of late inward movement, from over the wicket, inviting the drive. Aiden Markram tries to make it count by leaning and going for a big booming drive but only manages to get an inside edge. The ball goes to the keeper a touch low as Mohammad Rizwan takes low ahead of him with both hands. Markram has departed after making just 17! South Africa are 61/1.  61/1

131.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Ryan Rickelton's heroics come to an end and the entire stadium is on its feet to applaud what has been an exceptional knock! Mir Hamza digs it short and on middle, Ryan Rickelton takes a step out and looks to dispatch it out of the boundary with a big swing across the line. Doesnt time it right and skies it high in the air and as far as long on where Mohammad Abbas settles under and takes a good catch. Ryan Rickelton departs for an exceptional 259(343) and South Africa are 557/7!  557/7

20.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The machine strikes in his second spell, with around 10 minutes to go for Lunch. Mulder's return to the side is not a fruitful one. He was out of the Test squad for more than a month, after injuring his finger while batting against Sri Lanka in the earlier Test series. Got promoted to number 3 here, but faced a metronomical machine in Abbas. It was just outside off and Mulder, not sure whether this will come in with the angle or move away, poked at it. The ball seemingly seamed in and cramped Mulder for room. Took the outside edge and the keeper, Mohammad Rizwan, did the rest. Well, the balls are carrying to him alright, he says. What's the fuss with the slips? Mulder departs for 5 (18) and South Africa have slipped from 61/0 to 70/2.  70/2

22.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Spin does strike for Pakistan! Nothing really special though about this delivery but Pakistan will not mind. They will head towards that dressing room with much more comfort as LUNCH HAS BEEN CALLED FOR. This was delivered with the arm, outside off, but Stubbs chose to poke at it, trying to read it from the pitch. All he manages is a thick outside edge to the keeper where Mohammad Rizwan makes no mistake. Third catch for him, being involved in all the dismissals so far. Stubbs departs for a 6-baller and South Africa, from 61/0 are 72/3!  72/3

76.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Out of the blue! Where did that come from? Almost innocuously, just as he struck before Lunch, Salman Agha has struck in the dying moments of the day. This time, he has got the opposition skipper. Pakistan celebrate while the Newlands crowd goes quiet for a while, before realizing what has happened. The sea of people stands up as one to applaud its hero, for a magnificent 106, looking very composed, barring that brief loss of concentration post his century. Nothing special about the delivery again. Tossed up, outside off, Temba Bavuma comes forward to defend, looking to play for the turn, but the ball goes straight on. Takes the outside edge and goes straight into the gloves of the keeper, Mohammad Rizwan, pocketing his fourth catch, being involved in all dismissals! The 235-run stand has been broken and South Africa are 307/4!  307/4

83.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Mohammad Abbas has given Pakistan a breakthrough with this second new ball. Just what they needed! Lands it on a back of a length, just around that off-stump line and gets the ball to shape away a bit with some extra zip off the surface. David Bedingham shifts his weight back seeing the length and looks to punch it straight but plays away from his body. The ball moves away just enough to take an outside edge for Mohammad Rizwan, the keeper to take another catch. 5th catch for him in as many wickets! South Africa lose half their side for 323 runs!  323/5

120.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, a wicket for Pakistan and the 148-run stand is broken. Wicket number 3 for Salman Agha and for once, Mohammad Rizwan is not involved in the dismissal. A wicket against the run of play. Full and outside off, pretty flat. Kyle Verreynne, not surprisingly, chose to attack, with the century monkey off his back. He got to the pitch of the ball alright but because of lack of flight, could not quite get the elevation. He looked to play the slog sweep but hit it pretty flat. Straight to Aamer Jamal at deep mid-wicket who made no mistake. The crowd stands up as one to applaud another of its heroes as Verreynne departs for an exact 100. SOUTH AFRICA ARE 471/6!  471/6

135.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Marco Jansen's cameo comes to an end and South Africa lose their 8th wicket. Marco Jansen does more than what was asked for and walks back for a well made 62(54). Mir Hamza continues to keep it well outside off and hits the deck hard this time, on a length. Marco Jansen takes a slight step across and tries to carve it over cover but gets a bit too late on the shot. Hits it straight to Babar Azam at cover who takes the simplest of catches. No signs of declaration just yet as South Africa are now 572/8!  572/8

141 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Khurram Shahzad gets his second! Short of a length, over middle, Keshav Maharaj swivels back and looks to pull but the extra bounce and pace on offer don't allow him to connect right. He only manages to get an outside edge that lobs back to the keeper Mohammad Rizwan who takes a simple catch. His 6th catch in the inning and South Africa lose their ninth.  614/9

141.3 OUT! BOWLED! DONE IT THIS TIME! South Africa has been bowled out for 615! This last partnership hasn't bothered much for Pakistan. Third for Abbas as he bowls this on a good length, around off, nipping back in, from around the wicket, Kwena Maphaka tries to defend it with the full face of the bat but plays well inside the line. The ball zips past the outside edge and rattles the stumps. The debutant doesn't make any addition to the scorecard and departs for a duck.  615/10

1 OUT! CAUGHT AT FIRST SLIP! The change of the angle has worked for Kagiso Rabada here! He comes from around the wicket and bowls on a good length, just around off, coming in with the angle, and then straightens off after pitching. Shan Masood draws himself for the defense off the front foot but only manages to get a thick outside edge that goes straight to the first slip. David Bedingham takes it with both hands at chest height nicely and Shan Masood has departed after making just 2. First one for South Africa and they will want more before the close of the play today but Pakistan are effectively 2 down already given the injury to Saim Ayub.  2/1

34.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The 98-run stand is finally broken! What a moment for South Africa’s youngest Test debutant! It’s a massive breakthrough for the Proteas, and the youngster’s jubilant celebratory sprint says it all. Pure joy on his maiden Test wicket! Comes in from over the wicket and lands it on a length, just marginally down leg. Babar Azam looks to tickle it past the keeper but gets a faint inside edge that goes straight into the mitts of Kyle Verreynne behind the stumps. A wicket against the run of play and Pakistan lose their fourth and are now at 118 runs, trailing by 497 runs.  118/4

6 OUT! CHOPPED BACK ON! Marco Jansen gets the second for South Africa and Pakistan are in deep, deep trouble! Jansen comes from wider on the crease and angles it into the batter, on a length just around middle and off, Kamran Ghulam hops back and looks to keep it out but does so with an angled bat. Is late to bring his bat down and the ball takes the inside edge before uprooting the off stump. Kamran Ghulam walks back for 12(17) and Pakistan are 18/2!  18/2

8.4 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Kagiso Rabada has found his best rhythm here and Pakistan in dire straits at the moment. Pitches the ball a few inches up and around off stump, getting it to nibble away off the deck. Saud Shakeel is drawn forward and goes for the cover drive but the nip away means the outside edge is found and David Bedingham takes a sharp low catch to his right at first slip. A six-ball-duck for Shakeel and Pakistan are now 20/3 and have a batter less to begin with.  20/3

39.2 OUT! CHOPPED ON! Oh hello! What on earth was that? Well, well, well. Shocking, absolutely shocking. Wonder what would the great Sunil Gavaskar call this shot, given by his reactions to Rishabh Pant's dismissal in the first innings of the 4th Test against Australia in Melbourne recently. But South Africans won;t mind, they are pumped up! Wiaan Mulder has been given a big wicket in this spell. Bowled a full ball, outside off, from over the wicket, straightening off the deck. Out of nowhere, Mohammad Rizwan charged down the track to heave it over long on for a biggie. Instead, he only managed to get a thick inside edge that went and shattered the stumps. A huge blow to Pakistan with Lunch just 25 minutes away! There was no need for these kind of shots from any batter and that too, a senior pro is playing it. Rizwan departs for 46 and Pakistan have slipped from 118/3 to 144/5. They still trail by 471 runs.  144/5
