00:00:00speaking i know it looks black and wet but because that's the bully but that should come off my on my
00:00:05thumb if it were wet so that just verifies what the groundsman says that the surface is really
00:00:12pretty dry let's now look at the surface move along here to roughly a length bowling towards
00:00:18the uh the duck pond end and there is a little bit of grass certainly there's not a lot there's
00:00:23a tinge of green here and very little grass what there is is sparse but the the new bull certainly
00:00:29might move off this just a little bit these little cracks here a bit like a jigsaw puzzle
00:00:34aren't anything really to worry about other than at the other end of the pitch they are more of those
00:00:42and less grass so i want to walk down now to an area that i marked earlier because some of this
00:00:49is shifting just a little bit and and that bothers me just slightly not not not unduly just take my
00:00:55mark away you see here that that actually if you look closely i can push that and it actually
00:01:01moves now if a ball therefore would a land on an area like that which is uh which is i mean very
00:01:09very small but there are more of them i can't show them all of you then we're likely to get maybe a
00:01:13little bit of uneven bounce the fact that this has been shown of its grass means that the the bounce
00:01:19and the carry won't be quite what the groundsman would have liked but he's tried to prepare the best
00:01:23possible batting wicket that he can with a less movement so that the batsman can dominate the game
00:01:29i don't know i think the ball might swing just a little bit and i'm a little undecided as to which
00:01:33way the captains might go if they win the toss my guess is that they'll bat first
00:01:39the conditions out here in port elizabeth temperature 23 degrees celsius 30 kilometer per hour
00:01:46wind in the north easterly direction but as you heard robin say earlier very very humid out there
00:01:52sixty percent chance the team sheets have been exchanged and as usual clive lloyd is the match
00:01:57referee sean pollock with his special coin will do the toss tails is the core
00:02:05and tails it is well done i'm sure you're happy about winning the toss yeah it looks a very good pitch
00:02:12i mean uh should should get a lot of runs in it and uh that's it about you've decided to we decided to
00:02:19bat first and hopefully get some runs on the boat and any changes to your team we got one change we
00:02:24got uh shy the free he comes in for uh toffee kumar yeah shade likes uh south africa as well doesn't he
00:02:31yeah i mean he is he has been here before and he played well in there and it looks a very flat track
00:02:37so we're gonna give him a go at the top and great well good luck today thanks very much
00:02:41hello thanks sean definitely you must change that coin now yeah well it worked for us we won the game
00:02:47last time but uh you're gonna have your ups and downs but as i say in one day it's all about starting
00:02:51the game and and you've got to be able to win from both positions what would you have done yeah i think
00:02:55probably would have been at first looks like it should be a good week and any changes to the team
00:02:59today no we've gone with the same lineup obviously building conference on the way we played and obviously
00:03:03looking for another good performance like that so we're stuck with the same the same team i'm sure
00:03:07that'll do the top order a lot of good giving them another run yeah it is you know we've caught
00:03:11between uh giving them a good run and making sure they have the chance to um to to state a claim and
00:03:17then also giving other guys opportunities so it is a difficult situation but the more you're on
00:03:21certain guys the best you're gonna get out of them i'm sure that's true good luck today thanks lee
00:03:26so pakistan won the toss and they've elected to bat south africa would have done the same
00:03:31so south africa just to recap team sheet they're exactly the same as it was
00:03:37in durban graham smith herschel gibbs to open neil mckenzie at number three and jacques to follow
00:03:43jauntie roads absolutely magnificent and a wonderful performance by skipper sean pollock
00:03:49yeah he had a fantastic match i mean the the adjudicator for the man of the match did have
00:03:54a problem in as much as roads's innings i think he went the right route was certainly the one that
00:03:58turned the game around but pollock's performance with bat and ball uh was a very good example of just what
00:04:03an all-rounder should be i'm not surprised to see uh afridi at the top of that list there i think they
00:04:09need something explosive i felt that pakistan never really got into the game with a bat and then never
00:04:15managed to get get any momentum going and afridi is the sort of person who could produce that wherever
00:04:20events i certainly can who forget his introduction into one day international cricket back in kenya
00:04:26after that magnificent hundred
00:04:28and everybody expecting pakistan to come out here firing today elahi a man of 26 years of age
00:04:40he's had 33 innings average of 36 and a good strike rate
00:04:45struck on the pad second ball big shot from all of the players in the vicinity neil malinder the umpire
00:04:56from england denies the call my first reaction was the height and that was the case
00:05:03no we won't it's on the hook so the man who is getting his first game of the series
00:05:13shayda fridi gets a boundary first ball
00:05:18most of the ballers in the world they think shayda free these has a bit of a mark with the bounces
00:05:26kai antini has made the opening bowling position for south africa his own
00:05:30in a very short space of time 81 wickets so far
00:05:38this time a flick and yet another boundary so this man has started off like a train
00:05:44that's an ideal start for the pakistani team
00:05:50in order to get some results that ball was drifted towards the pads
00:05:54and shayda fridi enjoying good form hitting the ball into the gap
00:06:01no ball called and it's straight over the top
00:06:04this is not just a train it's an absolute express
00:06:10five runs for the pakistani team on that occasion
00:06:14looking worried and because of this that was a good shot
00:06:18hitting the ball through the line getting the elevation right getting underneath it
00:06:23second boundary i've always thought that this man is one of the cleanest strikers of the new ball
00:06:28that you'll see
00:06:38straight up in the air this time
00:06:40the man in south africa have struck but that's the way shahida fridi plays
00:06:51he was asked to do a job to go after the ballers but he was looking to play too many strokes
00:06:57that was a short delivery no doubt about it but haven't scored nine runs so far in this over
00:07:10he should have been looking to pick up a single and in the end getting the edge scooping the ball
00:07:15in the air easy catch for herschel gibbs early inroads into the pakistani team stars at schoolboy level
00:07:22for pakistan i watched him playing i think he was captain of pakistan under 19 at the time very mature
00:07:28young man and uh one who is a genuine all-rounder today promoted in the order to number three
00:07:40outside edge down to third man a groan from the crowd lance collusion of that
00:07:46the hesitation and that would have been out
00:08:00bad calling that one has to say
00:08:04when you're looking to take on jauntie roads oh herschel gate you cannot afford to stutter
00:08:09abdul razaq after playing the ball was in a state of inertia
00:08:17and then called and salim alahi had to back him up but plenty of time for herschel gibbs
00:08:30nice drive this time a brilliant stop by jauntie road not clean and they're looking for two
00:08:36good running
00:08:42brilliant stuff from jauntie roads once again
00:08:48had to cover a lot of distance and dive full length airborne
00:08:54managing to half stop the ball
00:08:56looking again for a quick one mr flick but this is although it seems dangerous i think it's very
00:09:09sensible from pakistan's point of view
00:09:16on the pull this time it's going to be alan donald trying to get there he won't so it's a boundary
00:09:21for elahi
00:09:25there was a short delivery but wasn't a convincing stroke from salim alahi
00:09:33kai and t not yet settling into a decent line and length not a consistent one anyway
00:09:40neat little roll of the wrists it's got a bottom edge onto it but that's fine
00:09:46down the wicket straight over the top that was a superb stroke
00:09:51well well we've been talking about a sheet anchor roll that's not the normal sort of stroke from one of them
00:10:04he came down to the track with all the positivity in the world and then hitting the ball
00:10:09at the top of the bounce getting underneath it to get the elevation right
00:10:14that was really a shot of class he goes on to 14 in 19 balls a strike rate improving
00:10:24back onto pad they won't stop that one always very difficult to save a single
00:10:30win it's so dead from the bat onto the pad
00:10:33but pi should not find the gap in the covers between john de roe's initial gibbs
00:10:44rhodes has really got that all worked out hasn't he the slide and the pickup and as he picks the ball up he
00:11:00gets up
00:11:10that one is through the covers finding the gap hashel gibbs couldn't stop it
00:11:14it was far away from him four runs
00:11:17well this just tells you what a superb batting pitch this is certainly at the moment anyway
00:11:24you know he's not the tallest man in the world and he's got forward just hit through the line
00:11:29it's raced across this outfield which i might add is looking fantastic look at that just through the
00:11:34line of the line of the ball very little deviation good stroke
00:11:44eli salem on 22 from 28 balls
00:11:49that one is told three square leg and it's gone for four runs
00:11:57i just flicked off his hip wasn't it that wasn't all that short but short enough
00:12:05nicely played just helped it on its way and it's very very fast down in that fine leg area
00:12:14sami might bowl a little bit quicker than that when he gets to do so
00:12:22that one is going away it's in front of square now on the own side mackenzie couldn't stop it
00:12:29race to the boundary good crowd already
00:12:33well they just that's the third boundary in the over one's been a great shot through the covers on
00:12:38the up that was a poor delivery leg stump half volley will get punished
00:12:42and in between a ball just fractionally short helped on its way down to fine leg
00:12:53well nobody moved in the covers that one of racing away to the extra cover boundary
00:12:59which huge gap there was end of the 10th 58 for one
00:13:10but flick down to the long leg boundary to raise to the boundary now stopping
00:13:17good attempt by a gram smith from square leg but it's gone to the boundary
00:13:22well pollock will be livid with himself he's bought the fine leg up
00:13:26so that he can have that man a lot squarer and he's bowled it full leg stump
00:13:34ordinary leg glance there it goes
00:13:36and neither fielder are going to cut that off
00:13:43fine leg up you got a bowl off stomach the south african captain doesn't make a change now
00:13:47getting teeny out of your tank pollock and donald into it
00:13:51good shot was stopped by
00:13:57good stop there by john de rose at birquod point that ball was traveling
00:14:03you know they never they never ever should run or no one should ever run for a misfield
00:14:11full length but he knocks it on and the ball races to gibbs and
00:14:16the batsman set off it's got to be a wait wait call no doubt about that there he goes he's
00:14:26how quickly the ball got across to gibbs
00:14:30waited for that one john de rose dives couldn't stop it it's racing to the third man boundary four runs
00:14:37so at the end of the 11th 66 for six
00:14:56so now the most experienced bowler in the south african side is brought in to see if he can't just
00:15:01get a wicket would be a bonus for the for the home side but if he can uh just run in and bowl at
00:15:09his overall career economy rate of four he will have achieved something because the ball's flying
00:15:15around this ground at the moment
00:15:25let's go they had it in his hand and it went in and out
00:15:36into the sun albeit that uh he does have sunglasses on
00:15:40one gets in a good position initially and then doesn't quite get under the ball he looked always
00:15:47as if he was in control
00:15:50just the last stride in out and very nearly went for four
00:15:57that way he flips it over square leg is going to the boundary four runs
00:16:12that's uh rubbing salt in the wound he should have been out at the beginning of the overall he's
00:16:17progressed with another boundary beautifully played i might add length ball round about middle middle and
00:16:24one leg just picked up over the man on the infield a couple of bounces
00:16:31he's taking over the aggression good shot good shot that one is racing away to the boundary
00:16:43between john de rhodes and hershell gibbs four runs
00:16:46so 77 for one we get
00:16:54before and i'll say it again this is how good this pitch is
00:16:58he's just stood there and hit through the line
00:17:02length ball a little bit too wide that's what allowed him some freedom and allowed him to just freeze
00:17:09arms and that one is played down a leg glance very fine running to the fine leg boundary for four runs
00:17:21albeit that that's the loosener and the first ball of the uh of the spell bowl anywhere near the leg stump
00:17:28if you haven't got a bat on that just been the thigh pad it's still four
00:17:31four that it will be four leg bars wouldn't count against the bowler but it still counts against the team
00:17:38just deflects it wider the keeper
00:17:47gets inside edge past the keeper running down to the boundary another four runs
00:17:52well when it's going wrong it's going wrong that's not a bad delivery that's outside off stump he gets
00:18:00the bottom edge but it's uh it's a very fast scoring ground this anyway
00:18:12that's cut away and that's four as well and i know that uh a lot of boundaries
00:18:18are scored on this particular ground as we're witnessing right now
00:18:22for around about 275 now i think they bite anyone's arm off if somebody offered it to them
00:18:30at the moment it's just all pakistan it's been good aggressive play from them
00:18:37checkers oh pull shot that's gonna go wide is smith gonna get there no he doesn't unbelievable
00:18:45well it's really not going south africa's way here four more
00:18:50score goes to 93 for the loss of one wicket they desperately need to pick it up in the field
00:18:59great shot into position very quickly razak
00:19:03callus this one too short poor bit of fielding here by smith not quite getting his body behind the
00:19:08ball and that one evade him going for four runs
00:19:11well he just got it all wrong there didn't he lost his footing as well in the process
00:19:22great fielding
00:19:28what a magnificent shot a big hard volley
00:19:31commercial gibbs doing the fielding there the mopping up callus over pitching down on one leg
00:19:39full treatment beautiful stop
00:19:41oh great shot that's the one beautiful in front of square four more
00:19:54well the pakistanis have have dealt with everything very harshly
00:19:58beautiful square drive
00:20:16using his feet down the track great shot that's a magnificently struck for four and that brings up
00:20:2350 for elahi very very well played indeed from just 46 deliveries
00:20:31well elahi he's been absolutely brilliant today not letting bogey settle down at all note the footwork
00:20:37point 43 deliveries for the second 50 again using his feet great placement this time one bounce
00:20:51and into the boundary well well well it's going to be a tough ask here for for a year to come back from this start
00:20:57sensational shot
00:21:10cut shot
00:21:11well this may even beat mackenzie in the boundary it does
00:21:15no third four in the over for elahi he's on fire
00:21:20while elahi is hit two fours come came down the wicket
00:21:23and he's cutting square the wicket for four beautiful footwork foot right across
00:21:31and uh desperate mackenzie not unable to stop that one
00:21:37oh beautiful delivery this may be out outside the of some brian jerling hasn't moved and neither has the batsman
00:21:44well well well well well
00:21:48crowd certainly behind south africa here alan donald absolutely convinced so was
00:21:53about to behind but uh batsman and brian jerling didn't think it was out
00:22:00well i must say i think um brian jerling's got this one wrong
00:22:06i thought this was quite a big nick
00:22:08good delivery prominency bounce that's what's done him and what a good decision
00:22:14i'll doff my cap to you brian jerling
00:22:26this time played square is very strong in that area that's raced off the bat four more
00:22:32and really the pakistan is making a uh partnership worth 102 the score moves on to 117 for one
00:22:44and he's hit that miles there is a man at long on but he'd have to be 30 foot tall to have a chance of
00:22:58catching that what a great shot well this is the ability this man has abdul razaq
00:23:03he's watching the ball big took his left leg away from the lake stump in order to create a bit of room
00:23:12for himself to swing the arms and in the end getting the desired result six runs
00:23:19he's kicked it through the slip area
00:23:29pollock gives chase but won't catch it up it's too quick this ground
00:23:36it wasn't a convincing stroke but the result is good
00:23:38on that occasion salim elahi was looking to create a bit of room for himself to play the cut stroke
00:23:51wasn't the right lantern in the end edging one through to the vacant area for four runs
00:23:56he's uh chipped it in the end over extra cover there's wonderful bowling from nikki boyer
00:24:09that has to be said he saw him coming and he just held it back a little bit and bowled it really wide
00:24:16look at that he went with the stroke another edge and that'll run away for four
00:24:22you know sometimes yeah the wry smile actually tells you a great deal
00:24:42away again donald back in business good dive from him good commitment straight into his hands he'll have
00:24:48to hurry now and does also a wonderful throw great bit of cricket all around good shot committed fielding
00:24:55from the oldest man out there let's look at that to come back to it perhaps
00:25:04that will be uh wide plenty of them and that south africa just cannot afford pollock does well
00:25:14so it'll be three wide in the end
00:25:18uh once uh neil malland has just checked that father called it back before his feet or anything
00:25:24hit the rope it's a close one it's a close one that looks as if the foot is on the rope while the
00:25:35ball's in the hand that'll be full
00:25:37make that 156 on the roof new roof as well
00:25:46goodness gracious me what a great shot
00:25:52came down to the tap with all the certainty in the world got to the pitch
00:25:57there is no point hitting the ball straight to the fieldsman
00:26:15whenever they have hit the ball it went into the gap and on that occasion once again slow delivery was
00:26:23picked up very nicely by up the result and very early
00:26:38the rotate
00:26:42beaten roads and will run away
00:26:44four four valiant effort from who is that who's prone on the ground the boy a tremendous effort
00:26:55from him he actually did stop it hitting the rope where it was destined for timing persona
00:27:01fired on that occasion beating John two roads that's an achievement and like you said it was
00:27:08a brilliant effort from Nicky boy had to cover a lot of ground had to type full-length managed
00:27:17to flick the ball just inside but the ball kept on going towards the boundary line
00:27:21get chopped in front of John the roads was going for the cage shout gas him really need one badly
00:27:39Makai and teeny going hard at at the batsman and this ball just once again it's not South Africa's
00:27:47day so far genuine outside edge again push with the arms from the batsman but it doesn't carry to
00:27:53John T roads he's a man who needs this century now and that's why perhaps he's playing more
00:28:02conservatively not taking any chances well that was a deliver that was a needle and leg turned right to
00:28:11the fine leg problem for us it is to sell him so he gets to his sanctuary well he gets a hug immediately
00:28:18from his partner younger man and it signals the dressing room who are standing and quite rightly so
00:28:28magnificent innings by this man here a hundred at less than a run a ball
00:28:36tremendous it'll stroke another slower one from Jacques colors it moved across once again into the stumps
00:28:45three men on the offside there you can see saving one see that was wide that was wide going through
00:29:01backward point four as it is don't give a batsman like this width because you are going to get punished
00:29:11he's growing in stature Salim the 200 partnership comes up with that stroke and it really was worth it
00:29:18as Peter said wide and up to him can't give that sort of width so the partnership 203 and 198 balls brilliant in
00:29:29only just over two hours also that one outside of stamp so the end of the over the score is 218 for one
00:29:45after 30 the break through here which they really desperately need then they've got Yusuf Johanna to
00:29:51come and in the mom who are both devastating hitters and really the class acts in this Pakistan batting
00:29:57lineup but surely from Pollock will be endeavouring to improve those figures in the final four overs three
00:30:05men on the offside angled away two men one man is saving one and then two men on the boundary on the
00:30:11leg side that you can see and then along confusion again we haven't seen that since the very beginning of
00:30:23their partnership tapping the ball pushing it just into the covers and they wanted a single was off big
00:30:34it would have been gone good backing up there good shot that one flies right over the covers do the extra
00:30:44cover boundary for four rounds good shot by a result brilliant stroke in fact you don't often see a
00:30:52batsman hit the ball this cleanly over cover inside he moved inside to play the inside out stroke and
00:31:02only a meter or so short of being a six good seam there but he'd given himself the room to free the arms
00:31:08that one at that shuffle shuffle towards square leg trying to confuse or mesmerize the bowler and he
00:31:23succeeded in that pulling this one through mid-week it for four runs get the way he played it he was back
00:31:35one foot back to one square leg dropping short pulled good shot four runs
00:31:48goes inside looks to hit it on the leg side big appeal from sean pollock neil melinda unmoved
00:32:05you can see just how much he moved inside the line the ball pitches on and it's uh angling down so
00:32:12umpire melinda making the right call
00:32:15also a bit darker robin it's gone very murky out here so it's a good thing that they've changed
00:32:25smashed away back with a square mckenzie just gives up almost as he began he knew that he had no chance
00:32:36of getting there four more to pakistan 236 for one well they've changed the ball so it's probably a
00:32:42slightly firmer and harder ball pollock would have liked that wide smashed away over cover point
00:32:52no chance of any field of stopping this slower ball attempted well spotted by the batsman
00:32:58or non-time
00:33:03rossack 95 from 108 balls 10 4s 260 s
00:33:08that's gone up in the air that might not go for six but it'll certainly go for four
00:33:18glare from Pollock beg your pardon donald two forty four for one
00:33:26if mixing it up it's going to achieve that i couldn't agree with you more
00:33:33especially in terms of change of pace
00:33:36it's his 100 and a very good 100 it's been initially in support
00:33:42of salim hello he's walking off he's taking a little bow in front of his own
00:33:51players and why shouldn't he absolutely brilliant lock from him Abdul Razak
00:33:58magical knock he really enjoyed getting to his hundred and so he should it was a
00:34:05superb innings and that's a four he's picked the slow ball this time it's a
00:34:12little bit too full from clues now and he's just cottoned onto this beautifully
00:34:17didn't try and hack at it displayed a percentage shot and just flicked it
00:34:21over top shot the slower ball and picked his area to hit it too
00:34:28there's the slower ball I think I'll hit it there
00:34:36that's wide of it and four more so now Razak opens his shoulders it's time just to
00:34:43push that accelerator a little bit nearer the floor
00:34:49full tossed full tossed weights waist high and
00:34:54he's timed that beautifully again picked the gap
00:35:00and that's sailed the way in between the two fielders on the long on boundary for four
00:35:05that's wider donald once again i beg your pardon mr. donald it's graham smith putting in a
00:35:14a big dive but it was uh it was really a helpless one he was never really going to get it
00:35:23lovely shot from Abdul Razak making a bit of room for himself down the leg side
00:35:29allowing himself to get some leverage and
00:35:36250 partnership now
00:35:47robin isn't amazing when things are going well and you go out in a positive frame of mind how
00:35:52things run for you crickets just like that and these two have been superb 253 from 241 balls
00:36:06that is straight down and teeny straight
00:36:09and he's held on to it and the end of a quite brilliant innings
00:36:14from Abdul Razak a man who's been out of the game for six weeks with a broken wrist
00:36:22looked a little bit at sea in durban but now he said hey i can play what a magnificent comeback
00:36:30by Abdul Razak looked out of source in durban
00:36:36he's got the full toss roundabout waist hike but unfortunately for him this time
00:36:41he hasn't quite timed it and he's hit it straight down the throat of makai and tini who ends up
00:36:47taking the catch low down very well so Abdul Razak
00:36:53out for 112 pakistana 272 for two
00:37:06yusuf yohana then has a look around the field
00:37:13it's not an easy time really is it for him too about after the lord mayor's show
00:37:16it's not an easy time really is it for two and he'll get it
00:37:46a good shot that was i wonder what it's like to sort of eventually get a wicket
00:37:51the bloke who walks in has just come off a series that he averaged 423 in
00:37:58don't have to chase this that's the reason why he's just hoisted that over cover like a tracer
00:38:05bullet no field is going to stop that and that's going to be the order of the day from these pakistani
00:38:11batsmen and if the use of johana go great guns
00:38:24and uh you know so africans will welcome seeing the back of johana he's a great player just nine
00:38:32that he got but from six deliveries only one boundary and and tini removes the off stump
00:38:39but and tini would be very pleased because use of johana can really go after the ballers
00:38:48and can get plenty of runs in no time he was looking to hit the ball out of the ground
00:38:54played the wrong line and he's walking back nine was his personal score pakistan 284 for three
00:39:00i introduce inzimam ul hak a veteran in this pakistani side stalwart and doesn't matter that they've lost
00:39:12use of johana because inzimam is going to come on and just play shots the big man is required to play
00:39:20some big strokes here to finish off the innings at the high note
00:39:29oh that's a strep to follow high full toss and callous gets his first wicket
00:39:38that might be lucky for pakistan salim alahi getting out in the last few overs he's been brought down
00:39:43he couldn't hit the ball out of the ground that was the opportunity high full toss but hit the ball
00:39:48straight to covers sean pollack
00:39:56it can be blessing because we see makram can really finish off the innings on a high note
00:40:02was looking to hit the ball over covers couldn't get the elevation right and in the end he was hold out
00:40:07that covers by sean pollack he's done his job he played well 135 was his personal score
00:40:17third hundred in five innings pakistan 288 for four
00:40:26yunas khan for pakistan
00:40:28yunas khan is off the mark with a simple launch on the onside
00:40:46oh that's well hit
00:40:50that's going to go all the way for four beautiful position well placed
00:40:54improvisation at its best
00:41:00it's a mammal heart drawing himself away from the stumps in order to create a bit of room for
00:41:06his arms to swing
00:41:10getting underneath the length of the ball they're looking to ball very straight but looking to ball
00:41:18in the block hold and that's why the boundaries they're not coming
00:41:23this one struck firmly down the ground oh smith almost slipped past it but the combination of
00:41:30smith and donald managed to save that boundary
00:41:34he's got a smile in his face but his head a bit of a nightmare out in the field
00:41:39oh that's played fine enough
00:41:50oh well
00:41:54unlucky for clues now hard day at the office for lance cruiser
00:41:59he was taken away for quite a few rounds when he was bawling
00:42:09watch clues now here one two three
00:42:18oh beautiful shot firmly struck down the ground smith this time manages to save it good bit of fielding
00:42:25after 47 over pakistan 30 311 for four
00:42:36at the top really looking to uh to accelerate here he's on 21 from 16
00:42:42make that 25 some 17 take that for timing
00:43:00especially when somebody's looking to create a bit of room for himself
00:43:03i was coming towards the toes and in the mom will hawk
00:43:10he's gone over midweek at this time that's going to go for four israel kuzner or other
00:43:15pollock unable to get there
00:43:19second boundary the over pakistan 322 for four
00:43:25pakistan impact bearing lineup has been carried by in the moment for a number of years
00:43:31inside edge and the result is going to be in favor of the pakistani team a boundary
00:43:40well great shot actually i i thought amir because he was looking to play onto the onside
00:43:45there's the confirmation neil melanda and uh to his credit was fine enough but the intention was always
00:43:53to play it uh in towards a gap onto the leg side well the south africans they are well behind the time
00:44:00which was allocated to them to finish their quarter forwards
00:44:06alan donald using his experience in the depth of the innings the last over
00:44:14and as a batsman you'll be looking to hit the ball out of the ground
00:44:20on that occasion alan donald
00:44:23just rolling the fingers over the ball getting some pace off and deceiving the batsman bullseye
00:44:32yeah certainly amir experience coming through there for donald slower delivery
00:44:37yunis khan out for 11 pakistan 333 for five
00:44:42left-handed again a lot of experience he's not going to have a look that's for sure
00:44:53inside edge first ball for alan donald
00:44:56and uh was he looking for one there managed to get the inside edge onto off stump
00:45:02we were talking about how many boundaries the pakistani batting they're going to score in this over
00:45:06he said two boundaries but in the end alan donald has managed to pick up two wickets
00:45:15that was a very good delivery first up to a batsman who has arrived at the crease
00:45:19who was facing the first delivery right in block hold but outside the off stump was
00:45:24simakram was looking to work the ball on the offside open the face of the bat a bit early
00:45:31getting an inside edge and he's walking back without scoring a run pakistan 333 for six
00:45:41rashid latif makes his way to the middle 834 right-handed batsman he's going to be facing
00:45:47donald on a hat-trick wazi makram has got two to his name waka yunis has got one saklane mustah
00:45:55has got two to his name and uh muhammad sami in 2002 against the west indies has got one to his name as
00:46:04well now he goes on a hat-trick she just managed to keep it out oh it could have been a hat-trick of
00:46:13a different sort though and he got the run out tell you what it's not over yet
00:46:17eventually getting back into his crease and uh in the mom sending rashid latif back to his crease there
00:46:30last delivery
00:46:34pasta at the point they'll go through for two
00:46:37and the return just to voucher so after 50 overs pakistan getting to a magnificent 335 for the loss
00:46:48of six wickets but well bowled alan donald that last over yes indeed he did ball well picked up two wickets
00:46:57and now he's asking his opener herschel gibbs to be determined
00:47:03it must have been telling that this wicket is very good we can achieve that but pakistani ball in line
00:47:09up has got all the experience of the world and they'll be settled with this total 335
00:47:17the pakistani supporters and the pakistani team as well they'll be happy with this
00:47:24a lock-handed graham smith two slips in position three in the covers on the offside
00:47:30here's the third man back there
00:47:35this man is an absolute wizard they're going to have to master him
00:47:39if the south africans are going to get close to the school
00:47:43first ball and it's runs and they'll be looking for two
00:47:48and they're going for it
00:47:58wow that was short and it was put away herschel gibbs showing that the
00:48:06low score in the previous match with a mere blip beautiful shot this rocks onto the back foot
00:48:14you can't bowl there too herschel gibbs he loves playing off the back foot
00:48:22not on the ball of the foot
00:48:25picked up beautifully this time another boundary in the first over superb stroke
00:48:32well we said that these two would come out and play positively particularly herschel gibbs
00:48:36he loves to hit the ball down towards midland leg super shock didn't quite swing as much as i think
00:48:44waka was trying to do well balanced nice flick it's going all the way they brought the fine leg up
00:48:50and immediately herschel gibbs pushes it past him good cricket by him end of the second and it's 19 for no
00:48:58wicked end of the third in the air oh lucky from herschel gibbs man slipped there it looked like it
00:49:06was a free d two runs to herschel gibbs they go on to 20
00:49:12another one to herschel gibbs past that short fine leg so immediately he's capitalized on the change
00:49:27of fielding from the pakistanis a crowd delirious
00:49:33another push good shot past the pill let's go all the way tremendous timing from herschel gibbs
00:49:46it has another boundary to him wow waka unis has really been examined here this is an absolutely
00:49:54brilliant shot absolutely superb i keep on using that word timing but that's why that one's raced
00:50:00away to the boundary for four let's let it come on to him didn't try and rush the shot at all this
00:50:10one pushed away by graham smith man chasing the final leg is now deep but he's not going to get there
00:50:20well these two opening batsmen have taken it to the pakistanis as their top order took it to
00:50:26south africa what can what i do he's pulled away it's going to be another boundary to herschel gibbs
00:50:36not quite in the middle of the bat this time but well enough and the crowd roars once again
00:50:42the opening partnership is flourishing the commentary opening partnership is at an end
00:50:47going to be robin jackman peter barzella to carry it on thanks lee wow it's all happening here let me
00:50:58tell you good shot once again pulled it from outside off sounds quite near the toe of the bat
00:51:03is balding is balding is balding middle star right out of the crowd closing he went through his defenses
00:51:17well that's like saying to the umpire well he didn't get his pattern away this time
00:51:22and you can see just how elated the pakistan team is particularly the bowler because that is a huge
00:51:27wicket herschel gibbs was the one man well there are others but one real danger man straight through
00:51:34what a lovely sight that is for any any fast bowler gibbs playing a forward defensive push past his pad
00:51:43left a bit of a gap and the ball got through there sparkling innings of 40 but south africa now 57 for one
00:51:52ring is wheeler and
00:51:57nicky boy comes to the crease and uh
00:52:08what's that to a new best man the end of the over 57 for one
00:52:14the ball a no ball as it take a net slip but it's a no ball
00:52:20in the moment take that catch low down above the grass but it was a no ball there's a white line there
00:52:30you're supposed to stay behind it nice fat outside edge comfortably caught by imzimam
00:52:36celebrations cut short as the wicket keeper realizes
00:52:40that the umpire has got his arm out and that's why it's a good two inches over
00:52:47that was just a lack of patience wasn't it and pressure building wacker unis had bowled a great over he
00:53:11hadn't managed to get him away he tries to do something different gets too far away from the
00:53:16ball can barely reach it and drags it down onto the leg stump so the end of smith
00:53:22just pressure building that's all that was
00:53:28and then when he does advance down the pitch he's a bit too far away from the ball and can barely get to
00:53:33it so smith goes for 18 in 25 deliveries and south africa have lost their second wicket at 61.
00:53:41he'll mackenzie right handed batsman 27 years of age
00:53:57four years stands up punches that one through point it's racing away to the boundary four hands
00:54:05that's what i mean that's just a classically good shot just look at this he just stands up
00:54:10plays a perfectly orthodox shot off the back foot square for four
00:54:17gets hold of this one is it a catch and taken the catch at long leg
00:54:24that was a good shot unfortunately it went straight to a fielder
00:54:34well nikki boyer will feel that he's a little bit unlucky here he's obviously
00:54:39can't let a short delivery go by you've got to have a hook at it he hits it absolutely perfectly
00:54:44beautifully balanced and it flies down there it only goes about 20 feet in the air but what an
00:54:50outstanding catch you don't always pick the ball up straight away down in those positions that's a
00:54:55wonderful wonderful catch by johanna boy a gone for seven south africa lose their third for 67.
00:55:02jack palace who will have to get going from the onset
00:55:13wide and mackenzie went for it
00:55:15oh that's pretty much in front he's gone up for the appeal yes i've got the finger
00:55:30and john joling confirms the fourth wicket for pakistan
00:55:35but neil mackenzie losing his balance losing the line of that delivery
00:55:42he was looking to play the ball from the crease
00:55:44he was beaten for the pace and lack of bounce as well
00:55:58and the pakistan is there in the driving seat jubilation for wakar younis
00:56:02nothing very similar here to uh gibbs neil mackenzie out for four south africa 77 for four in all sorts of trouble
00:56:16well jaunty rhodes who was the hero in the previous game
00:56:19has arrived at the crease
00:56:26similar kind of a situation is off the mark oh the umpire is in trouble
00:56:32the throw from salim illahi rather than hitting the stumps has hit the umpire and this is going to hurt
00:56:41a bit of a limp there and apologies from the pakistanis
00:56:44oh just above the field uh that's uh going to the boundary for four
00:56:52callus moves on to four with that boundary he's off the mark
00:56:59certainly the south african have to get to uh big hundreds was the man on the other side jacques callus
00:57:07who's who's been in rich form left to oh there we go
00:57:11there we go some a strikes and he's removed the off stem of john t rhodes so there goes
00:57:17south africa's hopes for me
00:57:21this is a funny game isn't it he was a hero in the last game
00:57:28scored 98 runs at a very crucial time and today
00:57:34that ball keeping low he should have been playing forward rather than committing himself on the
00:57:41back foot and in the end muhammad sami striking for pakistan for the second time
00:57:46two wickets for him and two overs big wicket for pakistan jaunty rhodes is going back he perishes
00:57:53after scoring one run south africa 82 for five
00:58:02different of a huge ride just crumbling down 440 rounds
00:58:13that's going to be wicked number six inside age and he's been given
00:58:19the umpire was checking with this mental list and in the end deciding that nick was there
00:58:29and the decision has been in favor of shahid afridi
00:58:35certainly shahid afridi joining in on the action here
00:58:38voucher padding up nick onto the pad rashid latif does very well here
00:58:43eye on the ball it may look like an easy catch but i show you in the lights it's not very easy
00:58:52voucher judged caught behind by rashid latif off the pad out for four 19 for six
00:59:01introduce the south african skipper sean pollock well he's got a lot on his shoulders here
00:59:08follow trying to get on with it immediately he's played this through the gap that's going to roll
00:59:14away for four off the mark
00:59:19that's a staggering stroke from sean pollock
00:59:27here's the equation 241 required oh it's it that's going to roll away for four lucky for
00:59:34khalas here but it all counts for south africa
00:59:41the second boundary of the over but not the convincing one
00:59:51yes he's out well he changed the wide one and presented a catch to rashi latif who did brilliantly
00:59:57behind to hang on to the pakistanis celebrate that was an excellent catch from rashi latif
01:00:04in the south african batsman they're looking for runs quick runs had to chase at that one
01:00:17edge and rashi latif has taken a brilliant catch seventh picket gone
01:00:24in south africa
01:00:25well their hopes of winning this game is going back
01:00:34with this man jack carlis south africa 100 for seven
01:00:39left-handed lance clues now the zulu comes in for south africa
01:00:44the leg do you want to go that way
01:00:53it's a good shot from pollock four excellent shot
01:01:01too short not enough pace on this delivery
01:01:04pounded by the fact there's only three wickets left
01:01:11pulled away by clues
01:01:13with authority
01:01:16well that's the way to play
01:01:18at this stage of the game we've got nothing to lose
01:01:24and that's got through that outside not that the sweeper would have cut it off anyway because it's
01:01:29gone a lot straighter than he would have been but four more to clues now
01:01:35oh
01:01:36bold in
01:01:38the holding shot the off stump out of the ground yes he has to remind pollock yeah
01:01:42you are out bold the keeper took a blow in the middle of all that in the throat
01:01:47but he's he's all right and uh more damage done by pakistan
01:01:58beautiful action out of the back of the hand this one's turned that's what's done pollock most
01:02:05of the balls that fridi has bowled at him have carried on straight this one has just turned enough
01:02:12to beat the bat hit the top of the off stump and hit the keeper on the chin
01:02:15great piece of bowling there pollock departs for 18 south africa 136 for eight
01:02:25so alan donald comes to the crease
01:02:37that's a good shot from clues nut deliberately lofted over the cover area
01:02:4526 overs gone 145 for eight
01:02:50outside edge that certainly sounded as though he got it and yes he's walking the umpire didn't bother
01:02:55to give him out to begin with until the pakistanis asking for the second time so the ninth wicket
01:03:01falls for south africa with the score at 146. great sportsman spirit has been shown by alan donald
01:03:09he knew that he has nicked that ball
01:03:16didn't wait for the umpire's decision
01:03:17and russia latih was very certain so was jahid afridi nice to see somebody walking alan donald
01:03:30has contributed with two runs in south africa 146 for nine
01:03:34long discussion between lance kluzner and makai antini
01:03:42that shot before is just push it away for one he can't hit through the ball
01:03:45lots of flight it's up huge it's very high i don't think it's going to make the boundary
01:03:52fielder there nearly makes it it saw me a brilliant dive from him but to no effect so the crowd
01:03:59gets some excitement from makai antini what an effort from the youngster muhamma summit
01:04:05is
01:04:18lots of flight in the air and that looks as though it's it yeah makai antini is walking so the match
01:04:25is over south africa comprehensively beaten by pakistan in the second one day international
01:04:32well the tide has turned the tide has turned by the pakistanis now
01:04:38they were beaten pretty badly in the first game but they have come back very strongly
01:04:44and with their barnstorming performance they have outclassed these south africans
01:04:52oh look to me that was a bump ball that could have been a bump ball and uh and he walked
01:04:59well perhaps we've got to give makai out retired so this really to me sets up the series enormously
01:05:06well the south african score sheet um smith was uh was there with herschel gibbs and uh herschel
01:05:14gibbs played superbly he struck the ball well he scored fast and uh his timing was absolutely great his
01:05:21balance was so good today and then he was bowled by a really tremendous delivery by waka he uh it nipped
01:05:28back at him he bowled him and he went with the for the first wicket uh 40 in in 30 balls and then
01:05:35the uh the pack of cards as i've said uh um started to collapse nikki bouillet showed that
01:05:41he was struggling against the the genuinely quick bowling and good seam bowling uh of the these bowlers
01:05:47we'll carry on a little
01:05:48the uh the bowling figures all look impressive now waka was the man who made the initial break
01:05:58seven overs two maidens three for 45 and then nasami this young man who's playing really by courtesy of
01:06:04showy bakta having been suspended in the first game and not being so feeling well today he then got
01:06:10three for 26 in his five a 3d came in with his varieties of pace and he picked up three for 35
01:06:17and showed that he's a talent as well and then so claim got the last record so the south africans never
01:06:22looking uh too close to being in the match after herschel gibbs was dismissed and a very good
01:06:28performance from pakistan bowlers as well so the match stats here at st george's park south africa
01:06:36defeated quite comprehensively in 29 overs
