Pakistan can make a game of it if they manage to take some quick wickets, but South Africa will surely back themselves to chase down this total. They've got plenty of capable resources to do that. The bowlers have done a stellar job, led by Jansen, and now it's up to the batters to secure a crucial win. They only got 148 to chase

Bosch to Mohammad Abbas, OUT, Edged and taken! That's the end of Pakistan's innings. A stunning catch in the slips by Markram and South Africa openers quickly rush back to the dressing room while remaining South Africa players are high-fiving and Jansen soaks all the applause and has the ball in hand. It was a scorcher thumped on a hard length and nibbled in as well, too good for thee and he tried to get behind the line, excellent line
