OUT! Bowled. Shaheen Afridi to Lungi Ngidi. Reverse Swing-In half volley, off stump on the back foot flick, missed. Timber! South Africa have been dismissed for just 143 runs. The openers gave the team a strong start, with Quinton de Kock reaching a well-made half-century. However, after the openers were dismissed, the rest of the batting lineup failed to contribute significantly. The home side made excellent use of the pitch conditions today. Abrar Ahmed was the pick of the bowlers with four wickets, while Salman Ali Agha and Mohammad Nawaz, along with the Pakistan skipper, claimed two apiece. Can the Proteas defend this total, or will the home side chase it down? Do join us for the run chase.
