Safraz

28.5 BOWLED! Four for Olivier! Keeps the length short, and Sarfraz plays a tentative poke from the crease, and gets the inside edge on to his leg stump. Just nicks timber, and now Pakistan have their tail exposed! 86/6

46.2 GONE AGAIN! That is irresponsible from Sarfraz, who goes for a blob! A teasing ball outside off, and he gets led into chasing it, edging it down to Faf du Plessis, diving away to his left. That's a pair for the captain! 142/6


Faf

14.6 got him first ball and South Africa are crumbling pitched on leg stump, and reared up rather more than Faf was budgeting for from a length. He wanted to tickle it round the corner, it instead flew off the shoulder of the bat to gully. That is a huge wicket. Pakistan will believe they are on top now 43/4

47.2 short ball, and he has swung it straight down the throat of long leg! TWO PAIRS FOR TWO CAPTAINS! Just reward for Afridi, who will feel he probably should have struck with the Elgar catch to Azhar Ali that the TV umpire overruled. Too little, too late, though for Pakistan 137/4


Wonder if that ever happened before in a test match?
