Ironic as it might seem, South Africa are ahead of Pakistan at this stage. After 26 overs, Pakistan were 121/2, while the Saffas are 19 ahead, but crucially, with 2 extra wickets lost. This was the period when the Babar-Rizwan partnership was going strong and the visitors were mainly concerned in building partnerships, rather than going for boundaries. The Proteas might want to emulate the same. Now then - what's happening out in the middle? Klaasen seems to be complaining something to the umpires. Rizwan is in the action, giving something to the Proteas. The umpires try to calm down the players, with Babar stepping in as well. Spicy stuff!
