16.1 to Imran Farhat, 79.4 mph, After 16 overs SA get their first breakthrough! This was quite plumb, Philander lands this on middle and off on a full length and gets it to straighten, Farhat for some reason was very lazy on the shot, the ball hits him low on the front pad and looked to be crashing onto the off stump 46/1
18.1 to Azhar Ali, 80.8 mph, the off stump is flattened! Another one that kept low, this was on a good length outside off, Azhar was back at the crease to punch it and he ended up edging it to his off stump. South Africa have suddenly claimed three in no time 56/3

17.6 to Mohammad Hafeez, 83.9 mph, Punches it to gully and the South Africans are claiming the catch and Hafeez is standing his ground! This was short of a length outside off, extra bounce and Hafeez couldn't quite keep it down, Elgar plucks it low at gully, the third umpire takes a look, he's happy with it and for the second time in the match a debutant has struck in his first over 56/2
25.4 to Misbah-ul-Haq, 82.8 mph, Edged to second slip and Misbah is waiting for it to be checked! This was on a good length outside off and tucking him up for room, Misbah was squared up and ended up pushing at the ball, it dipped towards second slip and Alviro moved to his left and plucked it low off the ground, the third umpire looks at a few replays and he's convinced that the catch was clean 75/4
40.1 to Sarfraz Ahmed, 83.7 mph, Abbott picks up his third! He pitches it up a bit outside off and gets it to move away, Sarfraz was looking to be positive through his innings and he wasn't going to let this go, ended up getting a thick outside edge to Smith at first slip 132/6
40.2 to Saeed Ajmal, 83.4 mph, Abbott's on a hat-trick! Almost an action replay of the previous wicket, similar delivery, this was pitched up and holding its line, Ajmal was forward and pushing at it, tame outside edge and Smith takes this one easily 132/7
44.2 to Ehsan Adil, 82.1 mph, Five on debut for Kyle Abbott! He stretches his arms out, savours the moment! This was slip-catching practice, Abbott got it to bounce a touch off a good length, Adil poked his bat out and the edge went to third slip, du Plessis moves to his left and takes it 149/8
44.4 to Mohammad Irfan, 83.9 mph, make that six for the road! The tailenders are doubling up as fielding coaches giving slip-catching practice. This was a good length delivery moving in and Irfan could easily have left that, he stretches his bat out tamely and the ball dips towards fourth slip where Elgar takes a low catch 149/9
46.4 to Younis Khan, 83.2 mph, Younis has been given out lbw and he is reviewing it, at normal speed Younis looked in trouble, this was full and swinging back in, Younis was covering all three stumps as he tried to whip it across the line, the ball skids and hits his pads and you could see the leg stump, Hawk Eyes shows that hitting leg stump and it's the end of the innings 156/10
