46.1
W
Harmer to Sajid Khan, out Caught by Brevis!! Sajid Khan holes out and that's the end of the innings. Finds long-on and Brevis runs to his right and takes it. It's tossed up outside off, Sajid comes down the track to loft, is not to the pitch of the ball and that's why skies it up, easy catch for Brevis. That dropped on Sajid as he came to loft and forced the miscue. Pakistan have been bowled out for 167. Sajid Khan c Brevis b Harmer 1(5)
44.6
Harmer to Noman Ali, no run, umpire Rod Tucker has to reverse his decision. That's why Noman Ali was quick to review. It is a cracker of a delivery, drift in on off, on a length and sharp spin away, Noman gets forward to defend and there's a gap between bat and ball, UltraEdge proves the same and the decision is reversed. South Africa were confident and up went the finger, but a clear gap

Harmer to Rizwan, out Bowled!! Fine delivery and Rizwan is bowled. He is beaten all ends up. It's tossed up and turns in, past the bat and pad gap as Rizwan steps out and looks to turn to leg, it turns in and beats the inside-edge and falls on the stumps. Done in flight and deception from Harmer who punches the air in delight. South Africa make another inroad after tea. Rizwan b Harmer 14(27) [4s-1]

Harmer to Saud Shakeel, FOUR, thick outside-edge and it doesn't carry to slip. It's tossed up outside off, turns away, Saud Shakeel pushes at it, the thick outside-edge dies and Verreynne uses his left leg to deflect it away from slip, wouldn't have carried anyway

W
Harmer to Masood, out Lbw!! Masood has been trapped in front but he opts for the review after a consultation with Shafique. Looks adjacent to the naked eye. Was on a back of a length on off and kept coming in with the arm and also kept low. Masood was caught in the crease as he played for the away turn but there was none and he got beaten on the inside edge to get pinged on the front pad. Time for the replays. Over to ball-tracking and hitting is umpire's call. It would have clipped the leg-stump and that's enough for South Africa. Smart piece of bowling from Harmer - the previous delivery turned square while this one was flatter and quicker and was a brilliant arm delivery. Masood lbw b Harmer 7(17) [4s-1]
9.1
Harmer to Masood, no run, a chirpy appeal for caught behind! Lands on a back of a length on leg-stump and turns square, Masood is squared up completely as he looks to block but gets beaten on the outside edge. The keeper caught it and appealed but there was no bat involved

W
Harmer to Imam, out Stumped!! That's a ripper from Harmer to get rid of Imam! Harmer spots Imam coming down the track and he shortens his length on middle and off and it dips on the southpaw.
