Quicker one, full and on middle, angles in, Aiden Markram looks to drive but gets an inside edge onto his pads. That could have gone anywhere.

.
Tossed up, full and on off, Aiden Markram prods forward and blocks it out.
No matter how high the required rate is, Klaasen and Markram won't be scared. They will concentrate on building a partnership and then accelerate after being set, Pakistan, on the other hand, can sense that they are on top here. If Abrar Ahmed and Salman Agha can bowl a few quick and frugal overs in tandem, the Saffas might just get suffocated.

OUT! TAKEN! Salman Agha strikes in his very first over! The bowling change has worked wonders for Pakistan. This is tossed up, full and on middle, turns in a bit. Rassie van der Dussen advances down the track to slog it away but fails to get underneath the ball. He gets more height than distance as the ball goes miles in the air towards deep mid-wicket. Saim Ayub moves forward, settles under it nicely and takes a good catch. A big wicket for the visitors as Rassie van der Dussen departs for 23 off 30. South Africa three down now!
