00:00A very warm welcome to all our viewers all around the world for this Vigo Telmobile presents
00:15Bengal Flour Test Series 2025.
00:18First test, day two.
00:19We are here to present more thrills and more excitement to you.
00:24That is where the game stands and it's Pakistan that are bossing this so far.
00:313.13 for five on a pitch that promised to have a lot more bite for the spinners.
00:37But I thought Pakistan played exceptionally well through Imam, Shan and Rezwan and Salman.
00:45Rabara was used in various spells.
00:49One for 43.
00:50The spinners bowled quite long spells and in the end, well, they got results but not
00:56enough really to tease and test Pakistan.
01:08As you say, Rames, it has to be through the process.
01:10Hitting good areas, not giving anything for a way.
01:12You can't just come out here and feel desperate and expect it to happen.
01:16And you have to try and build the pressure slowly and see if that can pay off.
01:23Grassless.
01:24The cracks seem to have opened up just a little.
01:27That's well connected and four.
01:36Salman Aliaga gets cracking with a sweep shot.
01:41But it lands safely.
01:42A couple of bounces in a way.
01:45Once again, it's the sweep shot.
01:47Getting far down.
01:48Big stride and then dragging it across.
01:51Big shot.
01:56Big hit.
01:56There's a fielder there and he misses it absolutely effortlessly.
02:02What a great hit that is.
02:04He's a brave heart.
02:06This is a wonderful shot.
02:08Positioned back.
02:08He decides, and we're still going to get positive.
02:11He gets onto the offside but realizes that the ball is given a little bit of width and
02:15he can go up and over with no risk.
02:17Yeah, the ball's spinning like a top from off to leg for four leg buys probably.
02:32Yeah, Yorke put away for four.
02:34Chances his arm and goes big towards leg side.
02:45Aga again.
02:47Middles one and sends it out of the ground.
02:51Takes the off spinner on and pelts him over deep mid wicket.
03:02Gone.
03:02One turns and just bounces outside off so far.
03:07Once there's one, flirts at it.
03:10Lovely catch.
03:11A perfect length and perfect line.
03:14Sharply landed on the seam.
03:16There you go.
03:18Enough.
03:19And what a catch.
03:20Brilliantly taken.
03:22Third wicket for Muthaswamy.
03:23And Mohamed Rizwan goes for 75, 362 for six.
03:30Numan Ali.
03:31His main job is left arm spin but he's very decent with the bat.
03:34A best of 97.
03:38That is balled in.
03:41Does it again.
03:42Muthaswamy two wicks in the over.
03:45Beats the outside edge but the ball turned enough to hit off stump.
03:49Little bit of extra spin.
03:52It didn't spin that much.
03:54What he was expecting.
03:55Again, not really close to the pitch of the ball.
03:59South Africa back in the game.
04:02362 for seven now.
04:03Sajid Khan again.
04:07He's no buck with the bat either.
04:09He's also got a first class hundred to his name.
04:15And the third wicket.
04:17Beautiful delivery.
04:18The edge taken.
04:20Three wickets in the over.
04:21South Africa come roaring back.
04:25What a length.
04:26Nice and full.
04:28Again, a perfect delivery and a brilliantly taken in the slipcord.
04:34And captain himself making no mistake this time.
04:38And Pakistan losing three wickets at 362.
04:46Suddenly the over changes the session's outlook.
04:50Shahinsha Freedy walks in at number 10.
04:58Now waits for it and hits it through the offside.
05:01Hits it with power.
05:12There we go.
05:12There's the next wicket to go down.
05:15Shahinsha Freedy is shown so much restraint.
05:17But eventually decided to try and pull the trigger.
05:20Went early.
05:21And Muta Samir just beautifully.
05:22This time around, went for an expensive stroke.
05:27Missed it completely.
05:30Saw him coming out of the crease a bit too early.
05:33Drapped the length back.
05:35And the ball kept low.
05:37Hint of a movement off the surface as well.
05:41And that was more than enough for the left armer.
05:43To pick up his sixth wicket.
05:45And that was of Shaheen Afridi.
05:48Next man to the crease.
05:50Hassan Ali.
05:50Salman Ali goes hard.
05:56But he hasn't middled it.
05:58And he's holed out.
05:59He's never been out in the 90s before.
06:01But he is this time.
06:03Unfortunately for him.
06:05He had to try and be aggressive.
06:06Because he felt like he couldn't trust his partner down the other end.
06:10But the innings comes to an end.
06:12And South Africa will be mighty happy about that.
06:14And that's the story of the Pakistani innings.
06:19Pablo Batsman getting 93.
06:20Yeah, some good contributions.
06:23And 378 is what they post.
06:25I think the key for the innings was the partnerships.
06:27They lost an early wicket.
06:29And then the captain, Jan Masood, and Imam Ul Haq put on 161.
06:34And then that was followed up with Salman and Rizwan.
06:37Another 160 partnership.
06:39But all the credit is going to go to Mutasami.
06:43Six for 117.
06:44I know Simon Harmore is a touch unlucky.
06:47So Brian had some wonderful moments as well.
06:49He had a couple of catches dropped off his bowling.
06:50Rabada, he charged in and tried to be as effective as possible.
06:54All did there a little bit and put in a lot of effort.
06:58Session summary.
06:59Five wickets to fall.
07:0165 wickets were added by Pakistan this morning.
07:12He's a wonderful player, Ed Markham.
07:14Very attractive to watch.
07:22Lovely piece of timing through the offside.
07:24And the ball will win that race.
07:29Last ball before lunch.
07:35And he defends well.
07:38It's a very good session for South Africa.
07:42It's a surface where the spinners have dominated and will dominate.
07:46So far, no wicket down South Africa.
07:51They are safely done by South Africa.
07:54Four overs bowl.
07:56Shine two overs.
07:58None for five.
07:59Normana lead two overs.
08:00None for five.
08:02That is where the test mat stands after first session of day two.
08:06Pakistan with a very impressive 378.
08:09And South Africa in response.
08:1110 without a wicket.
08:12This trail by 368 runs.
08:14Some would say it's good to be impatient on a spinning surface.
08:23Might as well go hard and might as well experiment.
08:27I think name of the game for the spinners on a pitch like this where there is so much of turn on offer.
08:37Now that is some drive.
08:38Now that is some drive.
08:43He is a powerful driver and that is a great example of that.
08:47Sajid Khan should not have any problem with dandruff.
08:53He may have a problem against these two openers.
08:57That was some shot.
08:58That is a really good shot.
09:05The field was in and he's beaten the field with a bit of improvisation.
09:10And that is nice stuff.
09:12Oh, that's a beauty, right?
09:24They've gone up in the air.
09:27What is happening now?
09:29I've got to wait before I sound excited.
09:33Adam Markram, what is he thinking?
09:35He went across reluctantly first time around.
09:38This time he's off.
09:41The extra bounce and nicely held behind the stumps by Rezwan.
09:47Good resistance shown by Adam Markram.
09:52Van Mulder is in.
09:55Sajid round the wicket.
09:57A flashed away.
09:59It was short.
10:00So the shot was on the cut shot.
10:03He made sure that he had enough bat speed.
10:08Lovely shot.
10:10That is a beautiful shot.
10:11That is a classy cover drive.
10:13It is a full delivery.
10:15And it's been punished.
10:19That is short and that has been punished.
10:21Too short and pulled away.
10:27Cuts it away.
10:29Finds the gap.
10:30Pace on the ball.
10:31So it'll race away.
10:34Yeah, you give room.
10:35You've got to pay.
10:36And the sweep shot.
10:42Probably the first of the innings.
10:45That's gone and gone to the fence very quickly.
10:47Oh, there's an edge, I think.
10:53And he's walking.
10:55Nomanali, once again, picks up a wicket.
10:57Partnership is broken.
10:58And he was going to try and hit it to the leg side and then decided to go through the offside.
11:07But it's a massive swing of the bat.
11:09Foot obviously nowhere near it.
11:11And it's a feather of an edge through.
11:13Two down now, South Africa.
11:15Fion Mulder.
11:16He has to go for 17, 80 for two.
11:18Tony DeSauci is in.
11:27That didn't work as well.
11:29Change of action from Hassan Ali.
11:32Oh, I went for the yorker.
11:43A high-fold toss has gone to the fence.
11:47A hundred raised.
11:50A hundred and twelve for two.
11:58And T is taken.
12:02A couple of wickets for Nomanali.
12:06But it is Brian Rickleton.
12:09Right now, 45 of 96.
12:12A hundred and twelve in 34 overs.
12:15They make the Pakistani ballers work hard.
12:18The only joy for one baller, it was the left-armer who struck twice for Pakistan.
12:24So as it stands, 378 plays a hundred and twelve for two.
12:29South Africa trail by 266.
12:34One twelve for two, South Africa, as we enter the last session of day two.
12:40Not enough pace off the surface.
12:49And I think that's going to be a real challenge for the spinners moving forward in this test match.
12:54Picked up the length early and he's hit it away for four.
13:01One bounce over the rope.
13:05Yeah, he plays it well.
13:07There's defense there, but he loses that little race with the ball.
13:11It's half century for Rickleton.
13:14First half century in a career that's turning out to be one impressive one.
13:20Two hundreds to go is to go with his 50.
13:27That's the slot sweep and it's hit crisply for six, I think.
13:31That's gone all the way.
13:32What a good shot that is.
13:33So you see now gaining confidence and also finding a middle of the bat.
13:44Smashes it into the fence.
13:46It's working perfectly for South Africa and for the left-hander.
13:49So boundary is 6-4 for him.
13:56Big shot and a great shot.
13:59Lovely piece of timing.
14:01Great use of the feet.
14:03And away she went for a mighty six.
14:05This is the first time he's done that.
14:07And he's done that with so much control.
14:10So much venom.
14:11Although it kept really low, but Dezorsi still managed to hit the ball into the gap.
14:24And picks up another boundary.
14:27And that's his 50.
14:29Worked hard for his runs.
14:32Initially he was uncomfortable, but adapted well.
14:35Down the ground.
14:40Hits it in the air.
14:42And hits it beautifully.
14:43Again, classy batting from Rickleton.
14:50Again, down the ground.
14:51This time through mid-off.
14:54That is a brilliant shot.
14:56That has raced away to the fence.
14:59Rickleton on the attack.
15:02No rhythm.
15:03In his run-up and also the release of the ball.
15:06And that's why he hasn't met any success.
15:10Yet another boundary being leaked.
15:13Oh, catch.
15:15He's taken that brilliant as Barbar and Salman Ali Agha with the wicket.
15:21What a catch.
15:22What a catch in the slips.
15:25Barbar Azam for this fielder.
15:28Great reflexes.
15:28Great reflexes.
15:33You can see the clear on the bat.
15:40Okay.
15:41Fingers are underneath as the ball is taken.
15:43It's a clear catch.
15:44I'm satisfied.
15:45My decision for the big screen is...
15:47Got really hard for his 71.
15:54But what a breakthrough for Pakistan.
16:00Ah!
16:01Was there noise?
16:02Always giving him.
16:03Stubbs goes up straight away.
16:04Which tends to suggest that there's no edge involved.
16:07Usually, the batter has got an idea.
16:10We saw earlier on the other day.
16:11Markham took forever.
16:12And then was shown to miss it by a long way.
16:15Let's have a look-see.
16:18Okay, Bolling.
16:19You can see the spikes as the ball is next to the bat.
16:23Your screen's signal out.
16:26Yeah, good decision by Rod Tucker.
16:30Tajik Khan.
16:31Now, Bolling to the new man at the crease.
16:34Previs.
16:35Oh, he's got him out.
16:37First delivery.
16:38Just looking to work it on the leg side.
16:40It probably stuck in the surface a little bit more than he was expecting.
16:44When coming toward his legs and that hard hands.
16:48Push at the ball.
16:50Comfortable catch for skipper Sean Masood.
16:52And first wicket for Sajid Khan.
16:56Fantastic.
16:57Pakistan suddenly from behind in the game.
17:01Is in front now.
17:03193 for 5.
17:07That's close.
17:08Yeah.
17:09It's a straight delivery.
17:11And would have gone on to hit the stumps.
17:13It's gone for a review straight away.
17:14But it looked mighty close.
17:18Original decision is out.
17:21Pitching in line.
17:22Impact in line.
17:23And wickets hitting.
17:25Rod, stay with your out decision.
17:29If ever there was a term of absolute out.
17:31This is it.
17:33Only could get 2 of 13 balls.
17:366 down South Africa for 200.
17:44Pulled it.
17:46And he'll pick up a boundary here.
17:48Dezorce in the last over.
17:54Picks up a single.
17:55And tomorrow morning he'll have the strike.
17:59And this partnership has shaped up well.
18:0116 run effort from 39 balls.
18:05But Pakistan would feel extremely happy with how things have panned up for them in this test match.
18:11South Africa on the back foot here.
18:16Trying to survive in this test match.
18:18They trail by 162 runs.
18:20But bright spot has been Dezorce.
18:23After an uneasy start.
18:25He's made it count.
18:26And now he needs support from Muthasamy and rest of the cast.
18:31Rickleton with a very fine 71.
18:36Dezorce 81 of 140.
18:38And so he needs support from Muthasamy, Subrian, Rabada and Hamer.
18:44They all need to come together to make South Africa feel engaged in this test match.
18:50And the Pakistani ballers were very patient.
18:54Especially the left arm spinner, Norman Ali.
18:58And was able to pick up four important wickets for Pakistan.
19:01He was helped by Salman Ali Agha.
19:04Who picked up an important wicket of Rickleton.
19:06Who was looking million dollars at the crease.
19:11Sajid Ali was lucky to pick one wicket.
19:15Right after two days this is where the test match stands.
19:18Pakistan clearly in the driver's seat.
19:21378.
19:22South Africa fighting hard to remain afloat.
19:24216 for the loss of six.
19:26They need to have a massive day three to make Pakistan sweat.
19:32Trail by 162 runs.
