- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 fired down and nudged leg side, Fortuin scampers across and hurls his throw while flat on the ground - runs Babar out with a direct hit! What a start for South Africa!! Brilliant work from Fortuin, who slid, picked up and threw all in one movement, with one-and-a-bit stumps to aim it, leaving Pakistan's captain well short! That'll silence then, um, audio effects guy 1/15.1 swung leg side, there's a man out at deep square... and Snyman holds on to a stunner! Haider's sally is cut short, looked like he got a good connection, but Phehlukwayo may have taken some pace off, and then it was over to the debutant, Snyman, running around the rope for a diving take 37/29.2 sharp spin, Talat is fall forwards... and Klaasen whips off the bails! Jubilation among the SA players, but this is going to go to the TV umpire. Did he get his toe down? No, not according to Shozab Raza! It was very tight, looked to me like he might have just got some boot rubber in contact with the turf, but not according to the man whose opinion matters. Shamsi strikes second ball 69/312.2 Iftikhar holes out to long-on! Skipped down but didn't get hold of it, and sent a steepling chance out towards the rope - Hendricks had time to steady himself underneath it. Pakistan's momentum checked again as Fortuin picks up a wicket 99/416.3 short and slapped - straight to deep backward square leg! Muted celebrations, but the half-tracker does the trick for Sipamla. Fortuin barely had to move, and SA have their fifth wicket of the evening 134/517.6 full toss does for Faheem, who swats to long-off! Miller the man and he holds it safely running around - would have been six, but for the fielder in the way. Second wicket for Phehlukwayo, and Pakistan are stuttering towards the finish line 143/6Extras6 (b 1, lb 3, w 2)TOTAL169/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Babar Azam, 0.2 ov), 2-37 (Haider Ali, 5.1 ov), 3-69 (Hussain Talat, 9.2 ov), 4-99 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 12.2 ov), 5-134 (Khushdil Shah, 16.3 ov), 6-143 (Faheem Ashraf, 17.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.5 what a gem! Gives the googly-legbreak one-two punch. Flights this on a good length at 92 kph, lands on middle and off to draw Malan forward into a defensive prod, it breaks back to spin past the edge and clip the top of off. What a set up before the knockout blow. 53/117.2 chaos and the indecision from Hendricks leads to running himself out courtesy of a brilliant scoop and dive into the stumps from Rizwan! What a match he's having! Slower ball lands on a good length, tries to pull to the leg side and inside edges this in between his pads. Hendricks wants to run, but Phehlukwayo isn't exactly dedicated to responding seeing Rizwan charging forward. Yes no yes no. Hendricks is the only one who leaves his crease in the end but by the time he realizes his partner is staying put, Rizwan has collected and propelled himself Superman style into the sticks before Hendricks can dive back in. Brilliant from Rizwan, brainfade from Hendricks. 134/58.6 another gem of a googly! Snyman was flummoxed throughout this over. Snyman seemed to have a bullseye on his jersey from the moment Qadir started bowling to him and was never able to properly read him. Another wrong-un flighted and landing full on fourth stump, Snyman goes for an almighty heave and the ball rips back to piece a sizable gap between bat and pad. Middle stump is knocked back. 61/211.6 slower ball cutter at 118 kph lands full on fourth stump angling further away, Miller tries to punch this through the off side but can't get his foot to the pitch and feathers a healthy edge to the keeper. 83/315.2 short on the stumps, sits up for him to pull this flat to deep square leg. Haris has been getting hammered when bowling the short ball all match long but this time he gets away with it, perhaps bowling to a plan with the man out on the rope at deep backward square, and Klaasen obliged by picking him out. Taken at head height. 115/417.5 cutter on the legs lands full at 132 kph, flicks this very wristily but doesn't free the arms to get power behind this trying to launch it over deep midwicket. Haider is stationed perfectly on the rope at cow corner to take this at head height a yard in. 139/6Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL166/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.3)Fall of wickets: 1-53 (Janneman Malan, 6.5 ov), 2-61 (Jacques Snyman, 8.6 ov), 3-83 (David Miller, 11.6 ov), 4-115 (Heinrich Klaasen, 15.2 ov), 5-134 (Reeza Hendricks, 17.2 ov), 6-139 (Andile Phehlukwayo, 17.5 ov)
