Pakistan vs South Africa, 1st ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Ferreira to Saim Ayub, out Lbw!! That looks dead! Saim has a chat with his partner after being given out LBW, and he has gone for the review! Sliding in with the arm, round the wicket, he's expecting it to turn as he goes back to cut and misses it by a long way. Looked ungainly as the choice of shot was way off the mark. And yes, ball-tracking says it's crashing into leg stump. Three reds. Saim Ayub lbw b Ferreira 39(42) [4s-4 6s-1]

Linde to Saim Ayub, 1 run, hangs back to this length ball and clips it through midwicket

Williams to Saim Ayub, SIX, the catch is taken but the fielder has stepped on the ropes! Qeshile the man there! Pulled in the air, goes flat and Qeshile is right on the boundary as he backpedals while reaching out overhead. Really difficult one for him and don't think he could've done much more.

Williams to Saim Ayub, FOUR, wayward and punished! An over where Williams didn't get his line right and sprayed it around. This is down leg and Saim helps it fine and into the boundary

Williams to Saim Ayub, no run, full on the pads, and again Saim plays with the full face to mid-on rather than closing the face

Williams to Saim Ayub, no run, left alone outside off

Williams to Saim Ayub, FOUR, oh lovely timing! It's swinging in, finishes down leg and it's not easy to keep the bat face open while playing such a delivery. But Saim does exactly that as he plays a lovely on-drive past mid-on. Flew to the left of the fielder
