37.4 to N Peter, Knocks him over! First wicket for a fast bowler in this innings and it's the Pakistan skipper into the action. Length ball outside off and it beats the inside edge as Peter drives away from the body. This one angled in and deceived Peter, who falls for a career-best 16. A pretty impressive knock, given the circumstances!. 143/9
37.5 to L Ngidi, What a way to wrap up the innings! Cleans him up with a beaut! Shaheen Shah Afridi finishes with two wickets, knocking South Africa over for 143! A near perfect yorker that was swinging away. Ngidi was nowhere near it as it went past his outside edge to rattle the stumps. 143/10

14.2 to LG Pretorius, uses his and looks to go aerial down the ground. Agha angles it towards leg stump, denying any room. Pretorius looks to go inside out, which robs him of power and he ends up slicing it towards long-off where Babar takes the catch. 72/1
18.5 to T de Zorzi, chipped to cover! Salman strikes again as he goes full outside off and de Zorzi can only check-drive it uppishly to Shaheen Afridi, who makes no mistake. The pressure was building on de Zorzi, and it tells. 87/2

25.1 to RA Herman, Bowled 'im! A nonchalant celebration from Abrar after nailing the googly at 78.7kph that the debutant Hermann couldn't pick at all. The ball pitches outside off, and spins past the outside edge to rattle off stump. 109/4
27.3 to D Ferreira, bowled around his legs! Ferreira goes low and looks to paddle this legbreak fine but it goes past him and hits leg stump! Abrar is fired up with that one!. 117/5
27.4 to C Bosch, Gets a first-baller! Abrar with a beauty of a googly! Pitches outside off and spins in through his defences, with the ball staying low and Bosch too slow to get his bat down. South Africa collapsing here!. 117/6
33.2 to MP Breetzke, a fast-turning legbreak. Pitched around off as Breetzke looked to push at it and missed. Rizwan appealed for caught behind straightaway but the umpire is unmoved. Pakistan review and yes, there is a spike on UltraEdge. Breetzke walks back for 16 and South Africa are eight down. 130/8

24.3 to Q de Kock, Goes for the sweep and misses and the finger goes up immediately! And he is walking!. Nawaz was kept away from the left-armers but he's the one who gets the big wicket of Quinton de Kock. Full ball, fired in quicker, spins in from outside off and beats the attempted shot and that was plumb in front. De Kock walks off shaking his head. Gives a word of advice to the debutant Rubin Hermann as he walks into a tricky situation. 106/3
28.6 to BC Fortuin, Oh that looks plumb, and is given! This is full and it stays low and Fortuin went to play on the back foot and misses it. Pitching on middle and spinning away to beat the outside edge and rap him on his pads. And South Africa lose another! Nawaz has his second. 122/7

0.2 to Fakhar Zaman, cleans him up! A second consecutive duck for Fakhar. A length ball that came in with the angle and sneaked through the gap Fakhar had left between the bat and the pad as he looked to defend. 0/1

23.4 to Saim Ayub, Ayub picks out long-on. Probably too little too late as Ayub takes on this full ball outside off and can't get the distance needed. Ferreira moves to his left and holds on. Ayub leaves having all but ensured the win for Pakistan. 130/3
