Nqabayomzi Peter to Nawaz, out Caught&Bowled!! This has gone straight up, Peter calls for the catch, goes reverse cupped and manages to hold onto it, even as he was falling backwards. End of an excellent hand from Nawaz, he's given his team something to defend - was pushed through and Nawaz was looking to swing it onto the on-side, caught the leading edge and went many a miles in the air. Peter watched it carefully and hung onto the catch as he clutched it with his shoulder. Nawaz c and b Nqabayomzi Peter 59(59) [4s-3 6s-4]

Nqabayomzi Peter to Shaheen Afridi, out Caught&Bowled!! A massive top-edge - Nqaba runs towards cover and completes the skier with ease. Not sure what Shaheen was looking to do here? All he needed was to do was to give the strike over to Nawaz, but he's lured into the big hit and falls in the process. Was dragged short, the wrong 'un, but it spun away and Shaheen was in no control over the pull. Lobs away towards cover and the bowler called for it. Shaheen Afridi c and b Nqabayomzi Peter 1(2)

Nandre Burger to Faheem Ashraf, out Caught by Lhuan-dre Pretorius!! Another slower short ball and Faheem has picked out deep backward square leg with perfection - no pace on this short ball and the left-hander was looking to control the pull, doesn't get hold of the shot and it's straight down Pretorious's throat in the deep. Faheem Ashraf c Lhuan-dre Pretorius b Nandre Burger 28(18) [4s-2 6s-2]

Nandre Burger to Faheem Ashraf, SIX, cracking shot, this is a fine cameo so far from Faheem - back of a length and at the stumps, no real venom on that - Faheem picks the length early, swivels across and then thumps the pull over square leg for a 81m hit

Fortuin to Nawaz, SIX, 89.6kph, Nawaz shimmies down, converts this flighted delivery into a half-volley and tonks it downtown. The sightscreen has to bear the brunt

Fortuin to Salman Agha, FOUR, slower and fuller on middle, Agha gets down low to sweep it over midwicket. One bounce and into the fence

Ferreira to Salman Agha, FOUR, full and on the pads again, Agha paddle-sweeps it fine of the man at 45. Short fine gives the chase but the ball wins the race to the fence

Nqabayomzi Peter to Hussain Talat, out Caught&Bowled!! That's a soft dismissal and Pakistan have lost half their side now - was tossed up and drifted across the left-hander, looked like the top-spinner and Talat was early into the shot, closed the face of the bat and the leading edge popped right back to the bowler. A dolly and Peter doesn't drop those, a scratchy inninngs from Hussain Talat and he's put his team in trouble now. Hussain Talat c and b Nqabayomzi Peter 10(20) [4s-1]

Linde to Salman Agha, FOUR, lovely shot, tossed up well wide of off - Salman Agha gets a good stride forward and then hammers the drive over cover, bounces away to the ropes in a hurry

Fortuin to Salman Agha, no run, that looks very close! Is it sliding down leg with the angle? South Africa have a chat and they've reviewed. Was fired by Fortuin and Salman Agha missed the sweep, was a long way across and this looks close. It has definitely straightened, is it hitting the stumps on the full? Need three reds for the original call to be overturned - no bat and ball-tracking has it bouncing over the stumps, South Africa lose a review. Salman Agha gets lucky, got into a tangle on the sweep and missed the ball completely

Nandre Burger to Rizwan, out Bowled!! Nandre Burger is pumped up and rightly so! 140.1kph, short of a good length ball going away with the angle. Rizwan is in two minds whether to play or leave. He decides to shoulder arms but he's too late to make that call. As he lifts his bat up, the ball trims the inside edge and drags it onto the stumps. Half-century in the previous match, departs cheaply today. Pakistan lose three wickets inside 5 overs. Rizwan b Nandre Burger 4(4) [4s-1]

Nandre Burger to Rizwan, FOUR, 149.7kph, overpitched ball and Rizwan gets off the mark by playing a solid on-drive. Good shot and mid-on is too wide

Nandre Burger to Babar Azam, out Caught by Ferreira!! Edge and taken! 139.8kph, wonderful bowling from Burger. Squares up the batter by getting this good length ball to nip away a bit. The line is around middle-off and forces Babar Azam to play at it and he has a jab at it. Thick outside edge and Ferreira dives to his left to take a tumbling catch. Superb grab and Burger has his second wicket. Babar Azam c Ferreira b Nandre Burger 11(13)

Nandre Burger to Saim Ayub, FOUR, 135.7kph, pitched up outside off, Saim Ayub plays a free-flowing drive through extra cover. Just half a stride forward and he timed it beautifully

Corbin Bosch to Babar Azam, no run, celebrappeal from Bosch and umpire Alex Wharf riases the finger. The South Africans are cock-a-hoop. Babar Azam has a chat with Saim Ayub and challenges it. In-seamer from Bosch, Babar doesn't get forward and is beaten on the inside edge as he looks to defend. He is struck above the knee-roll on the front pad. Will the bounce save him? UltraEdge confirms no bat. Over to ball-tracking and it's bouncing over the middle-stump! Successful review and the crowd find their voice

Nandre Burger to Fakhar Zaman, out Caught by de Kock!! Burger punches the air and screams "come on" as he strikes early. Short ball and Fakhar doesn't see that coming. The ball comes to him quicker than he expects and the left-hander is late into his pull shot. The ball lobs up in the air off the glove and de Kock dives forward to take the catch. The umpire raises the dreaded finger, Fakhar has a chat with his partner before taking the long walk. Perfect start for South Africa. Fakhar Zaman c de Kock b Nandre Burger 0(3)
