Faheem Ashraf to Ottneil Baartman, out Bowled!! South Africa bowled out for 110. Another slower short ball, at Ottneil Baartman who swivels to pull, off the body and then on to off-stump. Baartman early into the pull and misses, tad unlucky but Pakistan will take it. They are now in a huddle with Agha leading the talking. Ottneil Baartman b Faheem Ashraf 12(19) [4s-1]

Drift in on off, straightens, Burger flicks across the line and totally plays down the wrong line, the ball passes the outside-edge and hits off-stump. A first one for Abrar Ahmed.

Naseem Shah to Ottneil Baartman, no run, smiles from Ottneil Baartman. He is saved by the DRS. A sharp nipbacker on the stumps, short of length and he flicks and misses, hit on the pad above the kneeroll, too high as ball-tracking shows it to be going over. Umpire Rashid Riaz had the finger up in a flash, but since South Africa had reviews, it helps Baartman

A slower-ball off-cutter and dug in short, cramps Brevis for room, he tries to pull, it keeps getting bigger on him, splices it and a simple catch for cover to his left. Nawaz makes no mistake. Just when Brevis was looking to turn it on, he falls. Brevis c Nawaz b Faheem Ashraf 25(16) [6s-3]

A slower-ball off-cutter and it grips and turns from outside the leg-stump, lands on a length and then goes past the outside-edge on the defence, knocks back off-stump. Peach of a delivery.

Salman Mirza to Reeza Hendricks, out Bowled!! Whoa! That's a peach and Salman Mirza has struck with his second ball. He's pumped and so are the rest of the Pakistan players. Full, swinging in and Hendricks does not move his feet much, pushes with his hands and the ball beats the inside edge before hitting the top of leg-stump. Top nut to get early on and Hendricks had no answer. Reeza Hendricks b Salman Mirza 0(2)
