SIX! Nqaba Peter to Naseem Shah. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. That's the end of the first innings. Pakistan have posted a decent total on the board. After losing three key batters due to outstanding deliveries from Nandre Burger, Pakistan seemed to be in trouble. However, Saim Ayub and Salman Ali Agha steadied the ship with a 92-run partnership, with both batters reaching their fifties. When Salman Ali Agha was dismissed by Bosch, it looked like Pakistan was in trouble again, but Mohammad Nawaz played a responsible knock that ultimately put the team back in control. Can South Africa chase it down and level the series? Join us to find out.
