8.1
Usman Qadir to Reeza Hendricks, SIX! WHACK! 'Pakistan need big strikes', says Ramiz Raja on air. Hendricks provides one big strike instead. Tossed up, outside off, Hendricks leans and lofts it over extra cover. 50-RUN STAND IS UP! In 35 balls. Hendricks moves to 34 from 22 balls.

2.2
Shaheen Afridi to JJ Smuts, OUT! CAUGHT! Catching practice to mid off. A length ball, outside off, Smuts stands tall and hammers it straight to mid off. It is straight into the bread basket of Babar Azam there. When dismissals like these happen, reminds me of Ian Chappell commenting during the Aus-Eng clash in the 2007 ODI World Cup. Ian Bell was caught at cover and Chappell was criticizing the shot. Either you hit it over the top or hit it along the ground. Not the in-between. The same logic applies to Smuts. Why didn't he look to go over mid off? Why flat?

Haris Rauf to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR! Wrong line this time. Fired in a bit too straight, Hendricks just works it to the left of short fine leg.

1.2
Haris Rauf to JJ Smuts, FOUR! THWACK! Short and wide outside off, Smuts hammers it aerially, but through the gap at cover. Rauf under pressure now. 129 more needed from 112 balls. The stand moves to 12 from 6 balls.

Shaheen Afridi to Janneman Malan, OUT! BOWLED! Now, South Africa will mind, Pakistan won't. This is pitched outside leg and is angling further down as well. Malan looks to flick but misses. However, unluckily for him, the ball ricochets off the back pad, onto the stumps! Early blow.

Shaheen Afridi to Janneman Malan, EDGED, FOUR! Neither team would mind. Pakistan, because, it was a good ball. South Africa, because, they have started off with a boundary. Full, outside off, swinging in, Malan looks to drive, does not look to move his feet and gets a thick inside edge. It shoots past the off stump, beating short fine leg to his right.
