Pakistan vs South Africa, 3rd ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Shaheen Afridi to Ngidi, out Bowled!! The fast yorker and Shaheen Afridi closes out the innings in style. Ngidi stood leg-side of this yorker, swung to the on-side but the ball moved away to rattle the poles - hit the base of middle and off. Ngidi b Shaheen Afridi 0(1)

Shaheen Afridi to Nqabayomzi Peter, out Bowled!! Knocked him over. Good length delivery angling in from round the wicket. Peter looks to push off the back foot, misses and the ball rams into the off stump. Nine down and this is ending quickly. Nqabayomzi Peter b Shaheen Afridi 16(31) [4s-2]

Nawaz to Nqabayomzi Peter, FOUR, full delivery outside off stump, Peter looks to drive, thick edge rolls to third man but the fielder touched the rope while trying to flick the ball back

Abrar Ahmed to Breetzke, out Caught by Rizwan!! Edged and taken. South Africa have lost their last recognized batter as well. Flighted delivery from Abrar Ahmed, Breetzke leans forward and looks to defend, ball takes a faint edge. RIzwan spotted it and went up straightaway. The ump didn't agree and he wanted to review this. UltraEdge showed a clear spike to give Abrar Ahmed the fourth wicket. Breetzke c Rizwan b Abrar Ahmed 16(35)

Abrar Ahmed to Nqabayomzi Peter, FOUR, oh inside edge escapes past the stumps and rolls to the on-side. Peter wanted to defend, the googly just missed the stumps

Nawaz to Nqabayomzi Peter, 1 run, oh casual attempt at slip and it's down! Not a straightforward catch as Salman Agha was initially looking to move towards the right on seeing the batter reverse sweep. Ball came off the glove and lobbed to the right. He tried to tap it with the right hand but it didn't stay near him to grab it again

Nawaz to Fortuin, out Lbw!! Make it 5 wickets for the last 16 runs now. Another batter that stays back but is not able to counter the lack of bounce. Shortish turner from Nawaz, didn't keep as low as the Bosch wicket, Fortuin got squared up on the defence and missed it. He was deep into the crease and impact was right in front of middle stump. Fortuin lbw b Nawaz 3(5)

Abrar Ahmed to Corbin Bosch, out Bowled!! He's got two in two now. Abrar is on a roll. This ball kept so low to surprise Corbin Bosch and hits very low on the off stump. Bosch was on the back foot to play through the off-side. Abrar got it to skid off the surface. The length was definitely there to try a back foot shot but the lack of bounce did him in. Corbin Bosch b Abrar Ahmed 0(1)

Abrar Ahmed to Ferreira, out Bowled!! Oh bowled him around the legs. He went down on one knee to paddle this leggie fine but got too far inside the line and missed the ball, which rattled the exposed leg stump. Ferreira can hit against spin but he's gone and the visitors are now in seriou trouble. Ferreira b Abrar Ahmed 7(11) [4s-1]

Abrar Ahmed to Ferreira, FOUR, belted off the back foot! Shortish delivery outside off stump, Ferreira rocks back and slaps it hard off through cover and gets the crucial boundary

Abrar Ahmed to Rubin Hermann, out Bowled!! Googly pitching around off stump from round the wicket and turning away to stun Hermann on the defence. He had no clue and played inside the line expecting the ball to turn in but it left him to hit the off stump. Rubin Hermann b Abrar Ahmed 1(2)

Nawaz to de Kock, out Lbw!! Appeal for LBW, looks plumb and given. Even de Kock knew it, that's why he didn't bother to review. He tried to sweep this flighted delivery and missed, impact in line with middle and off and ball definitely smashing leg stump at least. Oh hang on, the replay actually doesn't look really convincing. Impact in line with middle, QdK was well in front of the crease so the ball had to travel and ball-tracker says just brushing leg stump. de Kock lbw b Nawaz 53(70) [4s-6 6s-1]

Nawaz to de Kock, FOUR, nicely reverse swept for four and he's recorded his 32nd ODI fifty. This is his 3rd consecutive 50+ score. Breetzke congratulates his teammate. Got the line spot on and middled the shot behind point

Abrar Ahmed to de Kock, 1 run, on the leg stump, de Kock works it to deep square leg

Abrar Ahmed to de Kock, no run, de Kock has been trapped in front but he opts for the review! Did he get some bat on it? Oh, it might have pitched outside leg and that might save the batter. Was the googly on the shorter side around leg-stump, turned away a little and kept low, de Kock rocked back and had committed himself to the pull shot. He seemed to have missed and got struck low on the pads. Time for the replays. UltraEdge shows a flat line. Over to ball-tracking and it shows that the ball has pitched outside leg. Good use of the review from de Kock

Salman Agha to de Zorzi, out Caught by Shaheen Afridi!! That's a soft dismissal! de Zorzi faced a string of eleven dots - that was perhaps playing on his mind and that has led to his downfall. Was a tossed up length delivery on off, de Zorzi leaned ahead and drove it on the up although he was not quite to the pitch of it. Ended up providing catching practice to Afridi at extra cover. He didn't bother to keep it down and paid the price for it. de Zorzi c Shaheen Afridi b Salman Agha 2(14)

Salman Agha to de Kock, FOUR, gorgeous stroke! Tossed up on off, de Kock stays leg-side of it, opens up his stance and goes inside out over extra cover to get the desired result. Lovely flow of the hands and the timing is spot on

Abrar Ahmed to de Kock, FOUR, easy pickings! A hit-me ball down leg, de Kock goes for the pull perhaps through backward square leg but ends up getting it off the inner half past the keeper. That's good enough for a boundary

Salman Agha to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, out Caught by Babar Azam!! Pretorius holes out! A wicket against the run of play. Pretorius uses his feet, gets close to the pitch of it and goes for an expansive shot downtown. But his bat turns on impact and he ends up slicing it towards wide long-off. Babar stationed there reverse cups it with ease. Pakistan badly needed this wicket. Can they build on this opening? Lhuan-dre Pretorius c Babar Azam b Salman Agha 39(45) [4s-4 6s-1]

Saim Ayub to de Kock, SIX, as easy as you like! A dragdown from Saim Ayub outside off. de Kock says thank you very much and plays a dismissive pull shot. The ball sails over cow corner for a flat maximum

Salman Agha to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, SIX, what a hit! In the slot alright but the flourish of the bat is impressive! Lhuan-dre Pretorius clears his front leg and strikes it clean as a whistle. It goes sailing over the sightscreen

Saim Ayub to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, 1 run, loopy full delivery on off, stroked down to long-off. 50 comes up for South Africa

Haris Rauf to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, FOUR, Lhuan-dre Pretorius is enjoying the pace on offer from Haris Rauf! Length delivery well outside off, the southpaw reaches out and square drives it nicely. The fielder at backward point dives to his left but it goes past him in a flash

Haris Rauf to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, FOUR, classy stroke! Fractionally overpitched outside off, Lhuan-dre Pretorius leans towards it and creams the drive through extra cover. Didn't try to overhit it, just focused on timing and placement. Everything right about that shot - high elbow, steady head and hands flowing through freely

Haris Rauf to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, FOUR, edged but safe! There's no slip in position. It's not a wise piece of captaincy from Afridi. You got to attack when the ball is new. A length delivery in the channel, Lhuan-dre Pretorius throws his bat at it but gets a thick outside edge through the vacant slip region. It would have been a regulation catch if there was a slip in place

Saim Ayub to de Kock, FOUR, nicely played! Full delivery around off, de Kock kneels down on one knee and sweeps it hard over square leg to get the desired result

Shaheen Afridi to de Kock, FOUR, crunched! That's in the zone for de Kock, pace on this time. de Kock sets a steady base for himself and smashes it past mid-off. That traveled to the fence at the rate of knots

Shaheen Afridi to de Kock, FOUR, de Kock gets off the mark off his 11th delivery! Back of the hand slower ball on off, de Kock is on the move as he converts it into a slot ball and hits it over mid-off for a boundary

Shaheen Afridi to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, FOUR, Pretorius gets off the mark in style! Pitched up outside off, Pretorius leans ahead and creams the drive through covers for a glorious boundary. He doesn't need any sighters
