4.2 to Amla, 89.0 mph, that's out, big sound, good length this time and Amla chased that one, not much footwork there, just went hard at that one, aiming to crack it through cover, appeared to get a thin inside edge there and Akmal took it easily, Irfan has struck 26/1
4.3 to Ingram, 87.5 mph, appeal for a catch and it's been turned down, Misbah wants a review, Kamran Akmal was convinced but Irfan went up belatedly, landed on a good length, he opted to play that off the back foot, there was a sound as it went past the bat, but Hot Spot doesn't show any heat signature there. It wasn't the bat hitting pad either, because there was no contact between those two. There was a sound, but was there any compelling evidence that there was a touch? Dharmasena is the third umpire and he reckons the sound is good enough to change the decision, even though Hot Spot didn't reveal anything. Hmm, it's been given out. 26/2
6.2 to de Villiers, 84.8 mph, edged and gone! No doubts about this one, de Villiers was again in two minds about this, short outside off and he belatedly decided to go for it, tried to guide him past the slips there but got a thick edge and second slip snapped that with no trouble, three down now and South Africa in a bit of trouble 35/3
10.6 to du Plessis, 84.1 mph, Faf goes, Irfan reacts well, extra bounce doing the trick again! Took off from short of a good length and surprised Faf, who came on the front foot and tried hard to keep it down, taking his bottom-hand off, but it got him on his glove and lobbed back towards the bowler, Irfan bent low and to his left and took it one-handed, five down now 62/5

7.5 to Smith, 90.1 mph, Smith goes as well, he's not going to review it, he's walking back, short ball outside off and Smith tried to pull it square, got a faint nick and Kamran took it comfortably, a slight under-edge and he's gone as well 43/4
42.6 to Steyn, bowled'im! On a length and Steyn tries to push that through the line, he remains on nought after all that, misses and is bowled 191/9

39.1 to Abbott, Ajmal strikes, a leading edge, don't think he picked the straighter one there, or it may have been a doosra, closed the face on that one and offered a simple catch to mid-off running to his left 179/8
43.2 to Peterson, 57.3 mph, Peterson falls, South Africa have been bowled out, tries to drag it from well outside off over midwicket, Ajmal had slowed it up, gets a top-edge and it's an easy catch to short third man 191/10

20.3 to McLaren, 53.0 mph, Given out this time, fires it quicker this time, appeared adjacent again, reaches forward to defend but that appeared to go straight on, seemed to strike him in line with middle and leg as he missed an attempt to block that, Pakistan have struck 106/6
38.3 to Behardien, Behardien's gone, shortish from Hafeez and he tried to clear deep square leg, was slightly short and he pulled it high but couldn't get the distance 173/7
