Usman Qadir to Heinrich Klaasen
NOT OUT! Right review for South Africa. A googly around middle, Klaasen goes for the push but is beaten to get rapped on the pads. There is an appeal from Qadir and the finger goes up of Aleem Dar. Klaasen takes the review. Ultra Edge shows  a flat line as the Ball Tracker shows the ball to be spinning down leg.

Usman Qadir to Heinrich Klaasen
NOT OUT! Tossed up around off, Klaasen goes for the reverse sweep but misses it. The ball hits him on the pads and Rizwan there appeals. The umpire is unmoved as Babar takes the review. Replays roll in and first up is the UltraEdge which shows a flat line. Then comes the Ball Tracker which shows that it is missing the stumps by a huge margin.

Haris Rauf to Heinrich Klaasen
OUT! CAUGHT! Short and around waist height for Klaasen to pull. He does so but does not get the distance as Hussain Talat there takes the catch without moving an inch.

1
Haris Rauf to Reeza Hendricks
Full and around middle, clipped towards mid-wicket for a single. 50-up for Hendricks. He has played a good knock so far and needs to continue.

Haris Rauf to Andile Phehlukwayo
EDGY FOUR! Short of good length around middle, Phehlukwayo looks to tap it to the off side but the ball takes the inside edge and runs past the leg pole for a boundary at fine leg. A welcome hit to the fence.

Shaheen Afridi to Andile Phehlukwayo
SIX! Clean as a whistle! After a perfect yorker first ball, Afridi dishes in a rank half volley around off. Phehlukwayo gets under it and sends it sailing straight back, into the sightscreen. Moves to 12 from 5 balls, in a stand of 13 from 6 deliveries.

Shaheen Afridi to Reeza Hendricks
FOUR! Gets it away this time! Yorker attempted by Afridi, but it turns out to be a low full toss. Hendricks gets well across his off stump and laps it over short fine leg. 37 more needed from 19 balls.

Haris Rauf to Andile Phehlukwayo
Slower ball, around middle, Phehlukwayo backs away, looks to punch, but mistimes it back to the bowler. However, Rauf fumbles and allows the single.

W
Haris Rauf to Reeza Hendricks
OUT! Hendricks is run out! Wrong question. Gone? Isn't it? Should have been asked by us in the insert. Confusion, confusion and the set man is in delusion. He is gone now. Waste of a wicket. A short ball, outside off, Reeza looks to pull but gets a thick inside edge onto his pads. He does not know where the ball is and sets off for a single. Phehlukwayo responds but then Hendricks goes back. Now, he sees Andile come so he starts running again. But now, because Hendricks went back, Andile stops. In the meanwhile, Rizwan comes up to the ball, dives and then disturbs the stumps. Reeza dives but the appeal is referred upstairs. The first replay shows that he is gone by a yard.

Haris Rauf to Dwaine Pretorius
FOUR! No time to get your eye in. Full and outside off, slower one, Pretorius goes big over mid off and nearly clears the ropes!

Haris Rauf to Dwaine Pretorius
DROPPED! Tough chance. Properly put, Rauf is lucky. Another slower ball, around off, Dwaine backs away and bludgeons it. Haris barely has time to react. The ball is coming at his face and luckily, hits his left shoulder and goes to mid off. A single is taken. The physio is ready to come out but Rauf sends him back.

W
Haris Rauf to Andile Phehlukwayo
OUT! CAUGHT IN THE DEEP! A length ball, in the slot, Phehlukwayo flicks this uppishly, but it is straight down the throat of Haider Ali at deep mid-wicket. Good leaping catch at the ropes. What an over this is turning out to be. 6 runs and 2 wickets so far.

Haris Rauf to Dwaine Pretorius
Around middle, punched wide of long on for a couple. Oh dear. Has Fortuin done his calf or hamstring? 4-0-44-2 for Rauf tonight. Expensive but an excellent final over.

Shaheen Afridi to Bjorn Fortuin
FOUR! Life is harsh. Excellent yorker, around off, Fortuin somehow manages to get his bat down in time. But due to sheer luck, he gets an outside edge, which runs past the keeper, to the left of short third man!

Shaheen Afridi to Bjorn Fortuin
Nearly a boundary! Length ball, outside off, Bjorn carves it over cover. Faheem Ashraf races across to his right, gets to the ball from deep point, but then fumbles. Nearly concedes the boundary but manages to stop the ball in the end. Two runs taken.

Faheem Ashraf to Bjorn Fortuin
It is not a boundary and PAKISTAN WIN BY 3 RUNS! Full, almost a yorker, around off, Fortuin gets across, swings hard but can only eke it off the inside half of his bat towards deep square leg. The fielder gets across and manages to push the ball back into play, as it is about to cross the ropes. 2 runs taken.
