Saim Ayub c Rassie van der Dussen b Kwena Maphaka 25 31 5 0 80.65

9.3

Kwena Maphaka to Saim Ayub, OUT! CAUGHT! Rassie van der Dussen grabs an easy catch and the in-form Saim Ayub walks back for Pakistan! The 18-year-old Kwena Maphaka gets his first-ever ODI wicket and it is a big fish! Runs in hard form over the wicket angle and drops the length short outside the off stump line to the left-hander. Saim Ayub throws his bat at it to slash it hard but gets a top edge. The ball goes over the gully fielder, straight to Rassie van der Dussen at third man. He takes a reverse cup and Saim Ayub walks back at 25 (31) leaving Pakistan at 53/2.

Abdullah Shafique c Heinrich Klaasen b Marco Jansen 0 2 0 0 0

0.4

Marco Jansen to Abdullah Shafique, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The first wicket falls for Pakistan! Abdullah Shafique walks back for yet another duck! Marco Jansen comes in from 'over the wicket, creating the angle across the right-hander from a good length outside off. Abdullah Shafique takes a good front foot out and looks to poke at it. The ball catches the outside edge and goes straight to Heinrich Klaasen. Abdullah Shafique walks back for 0 and Pakistan are 5/1.

Babar Azam c Aiden Markram b Andile Phehlukwayo 73 95 7 0 76.84

32.6

Andile Phehlukwayo to Babar Azam, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Babar Azam cannot believe he has picked out the fielder here. A wicket against the run of play and Andile Phehlukwayo gets the breakthrough South Africa were so desperately looking for. He bangs this into the pitch, on middle, begging to be hit. Babar Azam stands tall and connects with his pull shot well, but unfortunately fails to get it over and hits it straight to Aiden Markram at short mid-wicket who takes it sharply. Babar falls for 73 off 95 and the 115-run stand has been broken. Pakistan are 168/3 after 33 overs!

Mohammad Rizwan (C) (W) c & b Kwena Maphaka 80 82 7 3 97.56

35.6

Kwena Maphaka to Mohammad Rizwan, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! What a stunner from the Under-19 sensation! Unbelievable athleticism. Slower delivery, outside off, fuller in length, Rizwan comes forward to push it down the ground but overcommits. He is unable to adjust to the change in pace and hence, spoons a return catch. However, the ball is going to the left of the bowler while Maphaka is going to his right, in his followthrough. He keeps his eyes on the ball and then dives forward to take a screamer. There was a bit of argy-bargy going on between these two and the teenager has won the battle. Takes the catch and throws the ball up in the air, roaring in celebration. Mohammad Rizwan departs for 80 (82) and South Africa have potentially two new batters out in the middle. Pakistan are 192/4 after 36 overs. Kwena Maphaka's figures read 7-1-41-2.

Salman Agha c David Miller b Bjorn Fortuin 33 30 3 1 110

42.1

Bjorn Fortuin to Salman Agha, OUT! TAKEN! Bjorn Fortuin breaks the 50-run stand! He floats it up, full and outside off, keeping it away from the reach of the batter. Salman Agha goes down for the slog sweep but has to fetch that and does not get enough power on this one. It goes flat and aerially towards deep mid-wicket where David Miller positions himself nicely and reverse cups it tumbling backwards. Salman Agha goes after a quick 33 off 30 and Pakistan are 242/5 after 42.1 overs!

Kamran Ghulam c Aiden Markram b Kwena Maphaka 63 32 4 5 196.88

49.1

Kwena Maphaka to Kamran Ghulam, OUT! CAUGHT! Two in two for South Africa. But end of a wonderful, wonderful knock from Kamran Ghulam. A dynamic innings of 63 from just 32 balls, snatching the winds out of the Protean sails. A slower ball, on a length, outside off, angling away, Ghulam gets down on a knee and winds up for a massive slog. But he is undone by the change in pace and only skies it high in the air. Aiden Markram covers good ground to his right from long on and dives to end Ghulam's innings. 5 balls left. Pakistan are 317/8. How much more can the tail add? Maphaka gets his third as well.

Irfan Khan c David Miller b Marco Jansen 15 16 0 1 93.75

46.3

Marco Jansen to Irfan Khan, OUT! CAUGHT! And now, that is a David Miller special. South Africa have shown all types of fielding so far. Good, bad, best and worst. This comes in the third category. A short ball, outside off, Irfan Khan smacks the pull, flat towards deep mid-wicket. The ball travels at great speed but along comes Miller, as cool as a cucumber, charging in to the charging ball, going low and picking it inches off the ground. Absolutely superb stuff, ensuring that the drop on the previous ball does not count. Irfan Khan departs for 15 (16) and the quickfire 49-run stand has been broken. Pakistan are 291/6 with 21 balls left.

Shaheen Afridi c sub Ryan Rickelton b Marco Jansen 16 9 2 1 177.78

48.6

Marco Jansen to Shaheen Afridi, OUT! TAKEN! South Africa finally holds on to another catch! Marco Jansen goes fuller and just outside off. Shaheen Afridi backs away and tries to slog it away but only manages to get a top edge. It goes high in the air towards long off where Ryan Rickelton (Sub) runs forward, settles under it and pouches it safely. Afridi walks back after a good cameo and Pakistan are 317/7!

Naseem Shah not out 0 0 0 0 0

Haris Rauf c sub Ryan Rickelton b Kwena Maphaka 6 2 0 1 300

49.3

Kwena Maphaka to Haris Rauf, OUT! CAUGHT! A 4-fer for the youngster. A slower ball, outside off, Rauf is early into his slog and gets a massive top edge. The ball swirls in the air but has gone only as far as mid off. The substitute Ryan Rickelton circles under it and gets to the ball, but puts it down. However, he is able to hold on in the second attempt. Can Maphaka get a 5-fer?

Temba Bavuma (C) c Haris Rauf b Naseem Shah 12 17 1 0 70.59

5.6

Naseem Shah to Temba Bavuma, OUT! CAUGHT! The extra bounce gets rid of the South African skipper. A length ball, outside off, Temba Bavuma looked to heave it through the on side but the ball suddenly got big on him. Surprised, he tried to then fend it, with his bottom hand coming off the bat. The ball went high in the air and Haris Rauf did well to charge in from deep square leg to take the catch. Bavuma departs for 12 (17) and out of nowhere, Pakistan get their first breakthrough. South Africa are 34/1 and need another 296 from 264 deliveries.

Tony de Zorzi b Abrar Ahmed 34 40 3 1 85

11.6

Abrar Ahmed to Tony de Zorzi, OUT! BOWLED'EM! An absolute beauty from Abrar Ahmed! He bowls the googly here, slower through the air, lands on the leg stump line and turns away sharply. Tony de Zorzi prods forward to work it away but gets done in by the flight and plays down the wrong line as well. The ball spins past the outside edge and rattles the stumps. The 40-run stand is broken and the set de Zorzi departs for 34 off 40. South Africa are 74/2 and need another 256 from 228 balls.

Rassie van der Dussen c Saim Ayub b Salman Agha 23 30 1 1 76.67

16.3

Salman Agha to Rassie van der Dussen, OUT! TAKEN! Salman Agha strikes in his very first over! The bowling change has worked wonders for Pakistan. This is tossed up, full and on middle, turns in a bit. Rassie van der Dussen advances down the track to slog it away but fails to get underneath the ball. He gets more height than distance as the ball goes miles in the air towards deep mid-wicket. Saim Ayub moves forward, settles under it nicely and takes a good catch. A big wicket for the visitors as a set Rassie van der Dussen departs for 23 off 30. South Africa are 84/3 and need another 246 runs from 201 balls.

Aiden Markram lbw b Abrar Ahmed 21 30 1 1 70

21.2

Abrar Ahmed to Aiden Markram, OUT! LBW! Abrar Ahmed traps Markram! Playing your shots against spin can always be a double-edged sword. One felt that Markram and Klaasen were comfortable against Salman but against Abrar, they were not so sure. Markram tried to change that perception and has perished. This was flatter, around off and Aiden got across to lap it around the corner. Had he connected, he would have got a boundary. But he did not connect. He got hit on the pads and Pakistan appealed loud and hard. The umpire moved away though. Now, there was a lot of deliberation amongst the fielders whether the impact was outside off and whether the ball was doing too much. Eventually, with four seconds left on the clock, Rizwan took the review. Ball Tracker returned three reds, with the ball hitting the off stump! Aiden Markram departs for 21 (30) and South Africa are 113/4, needing another 217 from 172 balls.

Heinrich Klaasen (W) c Irfan Khan b Naseem Shah 97 74 8 4 131.08

43.1

Naseem Shah to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! CAUGHT! Taken this time. Klaasen cannot get his hundred. A length ball, outside off, Heinrich Klaasen picks it up and looks to pull it out of the ground but cannot quite find the distance again. Maybe, it is the wind on that side. Irfan Khan comes running sideways to his right and takes a good catch. Klaasen is stopped at 97 and PAKISTAN WIN BY 81 RUNS, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in this 3-match ODI series!

David Miller c Mohammad Rizwan b Shaheen Afridi 29 39 1 1 74.36

33.2

Shaheen Afridi to David Miller, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A fantastic review from Pakistan! Shaheen Afridi from 'over the wicket lands this on a good length and on off, jags back in sharply. David Miller pushes forward to play at it but the ball passes very close to the inside edge behind where Mohammad Rizwan grabs it. A massive shout for caught behind, but turned down. Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Rizwan both look very interested, and Pakistan take the review here. It turns out to be the correct decision as UltraEdge shows a spike when the ball passes the bat. The faintest of edges and Miller has to walk back now. The 72-run stand is broken now and Miller departs for 29 (39). South Africa are 185/5 and need another 145 from 100 balls!

Marco Jansen b Shaheen Afridi 3 6 0 0 50

35.4

Shaheen Afridi to Marco Jansen, OUT! BOWLED! No chance of miscommunication this time! Shaheen Afridi does not need any help. He does it all by himself. Targets the stumps and communicates to the ball that he needs it to face the base. The ball obeys and it goes right under the bat, as Marco Jansen is late in getting his bat down to that yorker. He departs for 3 (6) and South Africa are 203/6, needing another 127 from 86 balls.

Andile Phehlukwayo lbw b Shaheen Afridi 1 6 0 0 16.67

37.1

Shaheen Afridi to Andile Phehlukwayo, OUT! LBW! Well, that is one of the most bizarre events that Afridi would have had in his life. It was a full and fast delivery, around middle and leg and Andile Phehlukwayo tried to jam it back to the bowler. Now, the ball spooned of the face of the bat and went towards the bowler, who plonked it. Now, Afridi has his face in his hands, disappointed that he dropped the catch. But Rizwan was confident that it hit the boot first and went up for the review for LBW. Sure enough. UltraEdge confirmed that the ball hit the boot first and Ball Tracker showed the ball to be crashing into the stumps! Phehlukwayo departs for 1 (6) and South Africa have slipped from 185/4 to 205/7. Another 125 needed from 77 balls. When the ball is reversing, Pakistan are deadly.

Bjorn Fortuin c Babar Azam b Naseem Shah 9 13 0 0 69.23

41.5

Naseem Shah to Bjorn Fortuin, OUT! TAKEN! Naseem Shah gets his second wicket now! He bowls this full and on middle with pace. Bjorn Fortuin backs away to loft it over extra covers but hits it from the toe end of his bat. The ball goes high up in the air and Babar Azam at extra covers circles around to take a good catch. Bjorn Fortuin falls for 9 off 13 and South Africa still need 87 runs from 49 balls. Pakistan just need two more wickets!

Kwena Maphaka c Mohammad Rizwan b Shaheen Afridi 1 2 0 0 50

42.1

Shaheen Afridi to Kwena Maphaka, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The eagle now has four. On a good length, just outside off, Kwena Maphaka pushes at it. The ball straightens a touch, takes the outside edge and just about carries to the keeper, Mohammad Rizwan. Kwena Maphaka departs for 1 (2) and South Africa are 244/9, needing another 86 from 47 balls.
