00:00oh that ball hit the length and stayed the course it's always interesting as a bowling unit as well

00:08those first few deliveries you're concentrating on trying to work out what the pitch is going

00:12to do so this one nips away just a touch yeah first runs nicely played away through midwick

00:18at four at least two it's a fast outfield not really rushing in this surely was a chance for

00:26the third one yeah we're here for the champions trophy in the artfield was lightning close is it

00:33close enough for the umpire to call they're gone for a review original decision is not out pitching

00:43outside of impacting uh rod you need to change your position stand by

00:49well a massive early result for south africa they looked extremely close once again that

00:57in swinging slot that's a nice shot

01:04probably the shot that you want to be playing on the surface with a straight back through mid-on and

01:08mid-off on the pads worked into the gap for another boundary so action-packed first over comes to an

01:17end sean massoud two balls two boundaries and it's ten for one

01:24shot nice one beautifully played off the back foot into the fence in no time

01:30yeah that's to give him a nice boost of confidence

01:36that's a nice shot played it with soft hands didn't really go hard at it

01:39and it's a lightning outfield it's also a difficult thing to get used to as a fast bowler when you

01:45just bench up a little bit full and it keeps getting whacked past you because of the nature of

01:48the pitch so he's gonna have to try and put that emotion out of his head

01:54nice really nice good balance pushing himself into that drive excellent piece of feeling as well it's

02:02rickleton there stopping a four

02:08puts it away into the gap for runs again square this time

02:19exactly like that step down and hits it out of the park

02:23six to end the six is 35 for one last ball previous over sean massoud steps down and smashes it over the

02:35top lovely straight hit and that's what the batters need to do on a surface like this

02:42now into the onside time very well it is pretty swift the outfield the practice pitches will help

02:51and it goes to the fence nicely worked away from imam right length and skids through that's nicely

03:01worked away on the onside

03:03now it's a confident start for the pakistani captain he's been middling the ball he's been finding middle

03:12of the bat as well

03:16again worked away leg side just with the angle nicely done at the deep square

03:23oh lovely edge to way there is no gully so he squeezes it down to third so a couple of runs but there's

03:33something happening with harmer just his eight deliveries his palmer came on

03:41and he felt that he needs to go a little bit shorter this was way too short this was way too

03:45short and wide and the pace was there 90 kilometers an hour and uh nicely paid by mom for four

03:54shorten this one's punished just the other side of cover and it will make its way to the boundary

04:00simon harmer was positioned as short cover thought okay it's going to go to my right hand side but in

04:05fact played a little bit more the straight bet

04:07i think simon homer will mind that willie i mean he's using his feet it almost looks like his head's

04:15falling over a touch to the offside and he's kind of cutting across and he's got away with two

04:19place and get them caught as they just don't get the right pace but that's beautifully played very

04:25strong legs outfield just a little bit of width and when we'll have to wear where those fielders were

04:31and just waited a bit of finesse but already got sean masut thinking differently but there's nothing

04:39risky about that one they're so inept these days as you talk about the modern cricket as a plane that shot

04:47beautiful player down the ground and that's a 50 for imam ulaka tremendous innings never easy to get

04:55runs under your belt in a comeback situation and it's uh it's a fantastically based innings

05:01it's over demanding isn't it once as a factor you're making a comeback his style of balling

05:11he came very close to pick a wicket not to be

05:20yeah that's gone past the man at shot point for a run they come back for 200 is raised for pakistan 101 for

05:27one

05:31sees off the session sean masut and so 28 overs bowl in that first session pakistan

05:38with a skillful 107 for the loss of one captain on 44 imam ulak on his return

05:45batted well for his 59 of 89 deliveries an excellent partnership packed with the right mindset

05:53who are looking for runs all the times and that's why they had the opposition under pressure and

06:01over trying things in imam ulak on 59 from 89 and he has been a star on his comeback track

06:11it was one for 27 impressive spell molder was used briefly for two and then the spinners came and

06:19bowled and so pakistan did well to keep that keep them at arm's length

06:24so you're really gonna be up for the challenge especially the bowling

06:36yeah finds the gap finds the fence

06:38a little bit risky but i guess the shot was on

06:47that straight drive will give him a half century sean masut has played a lovely hand

06:5312 50 in test match cricket that is in control and always valuable that a captain fine runs

07:05he's got a hundred he's got three 50s against south africa in south africa just recently

07:11nicely clipped over for couple

07:15so i think the entire country the world hasn't seen

07:19that's second or third time where he's misfire the straighter ball

07:29and on most occasions i think the batsmen have not really read it because they played spin

07:34uh poor delivery full toss worked away down to fine leg and the boundary leads

07:43everybody grabs his towel has got

07:48that's beautifully played that's not over pitch that's not a genuine half volley

07:53but showing the suit has played it with a plumb brilliant army

07:58yeah lovely balance through the officer

08:00armor again back cut gets through nicely played by him waited for it and just hit it on top of it

08:12and gets it down to third

08:15inside edge of chance

08:19that was a chance he is exceptional at short leg

08:22down the ground

08:30another one drop difficult one but a chance nonetheless

08:35the attack has been one dimension oh this is good this is good aggression shown by

08:41imamul haq

08:44150 partnership comes up as a result of their gigantic six

08:52oh

08:56they've picked up the gaps picked up the singles consistently that's been the other good thing

09:02about this partnership

09:07this time it will be a boundary third time lucky sean masood

09:12a lot easier shot to execute it was a different line played it well all along the ground middle it will

09:17look at the end of the field

09:19oh that is close

09:22that is close and given i thought it was a close thing

09:26slower in pace hitting the length

09:30sean masood has gone for a review

09:33but i think south africa have got a strong case now

09:36tb umpire to director we have a player review for lbw one field decision is out

09:46i've checked the fit placement and it's a fair delivery let's start it from the place

09:50it doesn't appear to be any bat involved but i need to check that with outrage if there is any

10:07that's a good one

10:22just roll back once again

10:27yes i can see the ball hit the pet first satisfied no bat involved

10:31can i have the ball trek now

10:40a pitching outside of impact in line and wicket sitting

10:44please will be staying with your out decision stand by

10:52your screen signal a very good decision in the end

10:56oh very close

11:04inside part of the blade runs away for four is living dangerously

11:11on the other hand imamulak is motoring along convincingly

11:15twofold misses his length and this is what south african spinners have done quite a lot

11:33when you're inexperienced

11:34you're in the end of the game and you're in the end of the game

11:37yeah two shot rocks back into the onside back-to-back boundaries

11:42crowd roars baba that has just released pressure

11:48goes back and cuts it away that is way in front of point and then he gets another boundary

11:55and now the run's flowing even the little tab into the offside race is back for two this is good

12:04from barber 20 of 21

12:10yeah just down the leg side so he's just

12:12just nerding it away down to deep fine just get two

12:24this time full toss and hammer through the offside he was looking for this was imam successful

12:29is that it yes he's walking off imamulak 93 edges it onto his pad taken at shortly very painful

12:45inside edge this time around making no mistake bringing the hands together just at the right time

12:53grabbing it and uh

12:58chance are taken fast delivery leading edge and south to kill gone

13:06what sort of short was that what a great finish of the session there you go just

13:12leaning into the short trying to just get to the pitch but not there and a beautiful catch

13:22you know south africa much better session with the ball much more control in those last couple of

13:29deliveries and just turn the game a little it is mutasami lazily played from south shakil losing his

13:36wicket cotton ball by abutaswami but an excellent knock by imamul hak 93 of 150. a wicket for rabata

13:44wicket for so brian and a couple of wickets for mutaswami the left arm spinner coming into the game

13:53here we go then last session begins begins well for uh the offy i think that's the line to ball to

14:01someone who likes to drive

14:06oh inside edge probably he's had an excellent day as an umpire coming up original decision is not out

14:14pitching outside of impact in line and look at speaking this your spin signal it is a tremendous

14:26review on a spinning track really to get it so right

14:29now it's gone up in the air

14:37and it's gone all the way for six now if you can use your feet

14:41well that's a luxury and that is the way to go

14:43to go and all the wickets falling around him results to sadden he wants to try and be positive

14:48didn't seem that big shot slot sweep into the gap for four rizwan is turning it turning it on

14:57he's an expert when it comes to playing such a situation plays well with the tail he's got a clear hit

15:03fly it fly it and driven gracefully for four

15:10very good footwork it was in the slot and didn't really stop himself from the smart shot leg fielder

15:16it's well played in the end he'll pick a couple of runs didn't really go hard at that cut shot

15:31that's into the gap and we'll earn him a four that's good batting clever piece of batting because

15:36that shot is definitely on

15:37and as you played a little paddle a couple of runs

15:48and the difference in this partnership is that we've seen a lot of sweep shots the reverse sweep

15:53the paddle rather than allowed the ball to land in his hand a couple more for uh salman aliaga

16:02plays that shot shot really well that paddle sweep

16:07and again little paddle he'll come back for two again making it look very simple

16:21ball didn't bounce at all outside the off stump

16:28you move the field on the on side and then then ball

16:31the delivery which was outside the off stump and short good referral

16:35now he's a busy player

16:40briswan

16:42he's thinking of franz all the times 250 on the board of playing cricket domestically there's a

16:48beautiful slog sweep this time airborne and it's gone the whole way

16:52briswan so effective with that shot and he implements it in front of squeezing it handling the pressure very

16:58well

17:01haven't been tethered by the spinners in fact they are backing themselves into playing their strokes

17:09it's nasty plate you should be able to get back for a second

17:13and then funny enough the other wicket was the last wicket to fall in the second innings of the australian

17:20inside reverse sweeps again and that's executed even better comes to be back for the second

17:26and they'll turn down the third

17:30this one getting close to a milestone

17:3715 well deserved 15 for muhammad razwan

17:42once again took the responsibility absorbed the pressure

17:49handled the spin very well got to yet another 15 test match cricket yeah he's played well he's

17:55brought a positive element to the innings as well

17:59there's a cultural center to go in one of the blocks

18:04couple of rounds is played the the lap sweep so well in fact that's been the feature of this

18:09partnership both batsmen completely at home at ease playing spin

18:19goes the same passage again picks up another two runs

18:26looks so much in control the moment he picks up the length

18:30then everything and a very positive game plan that's up and over the field

18:37and they run well for the third

18:51this reverse sweep yet again faster one but

18:54his one has been able to sweep reverse sweep slog sweep beautifully

19:01big shot that's gone airlift it for six

19:05fabulous six

19:07making it look ridiculously easy he's got this ability

19:11looks a different player although it's a different format

19:13he's been able to attack the spin terrific shot over mid-off

19:20just making sure that

19:24it's got this tremendous range and that's well blocked

19:29i think it's rickleton

19:30it's a 50 for salman aliada and he should be mighty pleased with how he's shaped up

19:49it's not been an easy season for salman aliada as pakistan's white ball captain but this should

19:55very fine 90 93 in fact he blocks it's a maiden

20:02and so pakistan will walk off thinking that they've had the better of south africa and the numbers

20:10show that they did have the better of south africa
