7.6 to T de Zorzi, Shaheen provides the breakthrough. A length ball in the channel. De Zorzi stays back and hangs his bat out. Gets a thick outside edge to the right of first slip. Agha dives across and pouches it with both hands. 51/1 39.3 to PWA Mulder, no doubt this time. Short of length outside off. Mulder does for the cut but cannot keep it down, and backward point takes a neat catch, around knee height. 241/4 See all photos
Naseem Shah	10	0	68	1	6.80	26	8	1	2	0
47.2 to H Klaasen, Klaasen has holed out at long on! Low full-toss ball on the stumps, stands tall deep inside the crease, hoicks it away with the bottom part of the bat, whacks it straight to Afridi at long on near the ropes, did not get enough on it and struck it flat to the outfield player. 319/5 See all photos

38.1 to MP Breetzke, no back-to-back hundreds for Breetzke. And it needed an excellent catch to deny him. it was full around off. Breetzke charged down and smashed it to the right of short cover. Agha dived across and pouched it with one hand, behind his body. Took a couple of tumbles to complete the catch. 238/3

48.5 to Agha Salman, a slower one. Full outside off. Agha fails to pick it. Looks to defend in the end and gets beaten. Looks like South Africa have reviewed it. There is a murmur on UltraEdge with the ball next to the bat. The bat was next the ground too but the third umpire says there was an edge. Agha walks back to a standing ovation from the dressing room. 351/4
Corbin Bosch	8	0	70	1	8.75	21	11	1	1	0
9.4 to Saud Shakeel, Short pitched ball around the off stump line, tried to pull it away over the on-side fences, did not get enough power and elevation to clear the ropes, the ball kept a bit low, hits the inside part of the bat and finds the deep mid wicket fielder near the ropes!. 87/2
Wiaan Mulder	10	1	79	2	7.90	23	6	2	4	1
6.1 to Babar Azam, Massive appeal and given! Length ball darted on the off stump, jagged back in and thuds the pads, Babar tried to negate it to the on-side, cramped for space and failed to connect, decides to review immediately. Ultraedge confirmed no bat involved and all three reds in the ball tracking, hitting the middle stump, Pakistan lose their first wicket and a review too. 57/1 10.4 to Fakhar Zaman, Klaasen takes a blinder! Short of a good length ball pitching on the sixth stump line, plays inside the line of the ball off the front foot, sligh deviation away from the batter, thick outside edge of the bat, Klaasen went full stretch to his left side and caught the ball, making no error behind the stumps.. 91/3 See all photos
