3.01pm South Africa were 213 for 8 at one stage, but ended up scoring 301. That gave them a lead of 90 over Pakistan, but only one man took South Africa that far. After taking four wickets on debut - including one first ball - Bosch bashed an unbeaten 81 to frustrate Pakistan, and kill their hopes of restricting the hosts to a meagre lead. Before Bosch's day with the bat, Markram's 89 held South Africa together in their innings. Join Rvel to see if Pakistan's openers can wipe this lead out, or if South Africa's new-ball bowlers strike early.

Saim Ayub to Paterson, OUT, the pain finally ends for Pakistan! Shahzad, who takes this skier, signals that the ball seemed to circle up in the air. Paterson did get a few boundaries away in his innings, and was lured by this tossed-up ball too, which dipped on a fullish length outside off. He went launching it down the ground, but ended up skying it way above. Shahzad, placed somewhere towards a deepish mid-off, did well to take this, with the ball dropping over his shoulders
