Session  2 Highlights  Pakistan vs South Africa Test Series 2025 1st Test Day 2

Transcript

00:00Some would say it's good to be impatient on a spinning surface might as well go

00:10hard and might as well experiment. I think name of the game for the spinners

00:18or not on a pitch like this where there is so much of turn on offer a field in

00:28that long on chance our direct hit was needed now that is some drive he's a

00:40powerful driver and that is in a great example of that and that is the

00:45advantage you get when you when you play a spinner off the back foot very

00:50comfortably you force the spinner to pitch the ball up

00:55side of time it should not have any problem with dandruff he may have a

01:02problem against these two openers that was some shot that's really good shot the

01:14field was in and is beating the field with a bit of improvisation that is nice

01:19stuff

01:26oh that's the beauty right they've gone up in the air

01:34what is happening now I've got to wait before I sound excited Adam Makrim what is

01:42he thinking DRS timer is on

01:49he went across reluctantly first time around this time he's off beautifully taken

01:55behind the stumps now on that occasion Numan Ali managed to drag the length ever so

02:01back to be able to deceive the batter and then the extra bounce and nicely held

02:08between behind the stumps by Rizwan first blood drawn and through Numan Ali the left

02:16armour good resistance shown by Adam Makrim when Mulder is in

02:24Sajid round the wicket a flashed away it was short so the shot was on the cut shot he made sure that he had enough

02:36bad speed got the edge he got what he wanted wanted to hit four he got it but not in control of the shot

02:44lovely shot that is a beautiful shot that is a classic cover drive it is a full delivery

02:53and it's been punished you're kind of not even halfway you're not going to stop this

02:59because if this goes little bit in the gap that's going to go for four

03:03and imposing first inning score now right-hander on strike Mulder he goes reverse and does it well

03:15these modern-day batters they play this reverse sweep so well Mulder knows that Sajid Ali is going

03:24to ball way outside the off stump that's the that's the way he balls he looked to spin the ball from maybe

03:30maybe fifth or sixth dump outside the off stump that is short and that has been punished too short and

03:42pulled away very good off the back foot waited for it and kept with the shot

03:51I thought he hit it twice but he's got it down to fine leg and has gone to the fence

04:03and hit as many times as you want as you as long as the ball gets to the boundary this can easily

04:09just drag back onto the stump sometime so then the batters complain why that happened

04:25cuts it away finds the gap pace on the ball so it'll race away

04:31yeah you give room you got to pay Rickleton didn't have to do much this is a pitch where

04:43you can play that shot because there is a very little scare or fear of the ball going in the air to

04:49to the slip cordon or a gully cordon

04:57and the sweep shot probably the first of the innings

05:01that's gone and gone to the fence very quickly

05:05yeah beautifully played by Vion Mulder

05:07there's no one at short 45 so that's relatively risk-free

05:11because if he does get a top edge it's going to land in

05:13a safe area

05:15and he waited for that delivery too straight

05:17and swept it beautifully

05:23oh there's an edge I think

05:25and he's walking

05:27Noman Ali once again picks up a wicket

05:29partnership is broken

05:31yeah the change of end has worked for him

05:33I just got the feeling

05:35it almost looked like Vion Mulder

05:37interested in playing a slog sweep

05:39he was going to try and hit it to the leg side

05:41and then

05:43decided to go through the off side

05:45but it's a massive swing of the bat

05:47foot obviously nowhere near it

05:49and it's a feather of an edge through

05:51Pakistan will be chuffed

05:53Noman Ali has picked up his first

05:57wicket from there the change of end

05:59two down now South Africa

06:01Vion Mulder

06:03he has to go for 17 80 for two

06:05to need his OC is in

06:09edge and it goes between

06:13the keeper and the first slipper

06:15for four once again the ball

06:17not carrying in the slip Gordon

06:19they've kind of spread themselves

06:21to try and cover a few more bases

06:23but this one no one ended up going

06:25for it but no one could have caught it

06:27it dropped short

06:29he comfortably short

06:31that's a fortunate boundary for the Zorzi

06:33to get him underway

06:39that didn't work as well

06:43change of action from

06:45Hasan Ali

06:47a bat coming down at an angle

06:51and not completely at ease

06:53facing Hasan Ali

06:55two edges two boundaries

06:57oh

07:01went for the yorker

07:03high full toss has gone to the fence

07:05100 raised

07:17outside edge and gets it through

07:19that's the third time

07:21he's got it down to third

07:23he's got it down to third

07:25well runs are important aren't they

07:27and on a pitch like this

07:31and especially with the fact the

07:33ballers are balling well

07:35if you keep on managing boundaries

07:37112 for two

07:49112 for two

07:51and T is taken

07:53a couple of wickets for Norma Nelly

07:57but it is

08:0345 of 96

08:05112

08:11the only joy for one bowler

08:13it was

08:15the left armor

08:17was struck twice for Pakistan
