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

Ngidi to Salman Agha, out Caught by Ferreira!! The slower ball does the trick once again and there are now some tense faces in that Pakistan dressing room. The well set Salman Agha is gone. Floated up, dips on him as he goes for a lofted hit and he's through the shot too early. Skies it up over the bowler's head. It's not a straightforward catch with Ferreira having to cover a lot of ground to his left from long-on, but he makes it look easy. Salman Agha c Ferreira b Ngidi 62(71) [4s-5 6s-1]

Ngidi to Salman Agha, FOUR, makes some room and slaps it away! Pace on from Ngidi this time, it's close to off stump but Salman has manufactured his own room. Manages to free the arms and smashes it over extra cover

Ngidi to Nawaz, 1 run, angling down leg, back of a length, Nawaz clips it behind square. Not a great delivery to the new man

Ngidi to Hasan Nawaz, no run, quite wide outside off, and it looks like Ngidi has got away with another one. Umpire thinks it's inside the marker

Ngidi to Hussain Talat, out Caught by Linde!! Deceived by the slower ball and gone! It's superbly bowled, takes the pace right off and gets it to dip sharply on Talat who's through the drive way too early. Spoons it in front of mid-off where Linde dives forward and takes a very good catch. Was dying on him and it's never easy to take these. Hussain Talat c Linde b Ngidi 22(25) [4s-2]
