00:00Fives a go, and goes for four.
00:14Unbelievable timing.
00:16They're almost there.
00:17They're almost there.
00:30A very warm welcome to all our viewers all around the world for this Vigo Telmobile presents
00:36Bengal Flour Test Series 2025.
00:39First test, day two.
00:40We are here to present more thrills and more excitement to you.
00:47That is where the game stands, and it's Pakistan that are bossing this so far.
00:523-13 for five on a pitch that promised to have a lot more bite for the spinners.
00:58But I thought Pakistan played exceptionally well through Imam, Shan, and Rezwan, and Salman.
01:07Rabara was used in various spells.
01:10One for 43.
01:11The spinners bowled quite long spells, and in the end, well, they got results,
01:17but not enough really to tease and test Pakistan.
01:28But as you say, Rames, it has to be through the process.
01:31Hitting good areas, not giving anything away.
01:33You can't just come out here and feel desperate and expect it to happen.
01:37You have to try and build the pressure slowly and see if that can pay off.
01:44Grassless.
01:45The cracks seem to have opened up just a little.
01:48That's well-connected, and for Salman Aliaga gets cracking with a sweep shot.
02:02But it lands safely, a couple of bounces in a way.
02:06Once again, it's the sweep shot.
02:08Getting far down, big stride, and then dragging it across.
02:12Big shot, big hit.
02:18There's a fielder there, and he misses it absolutely effortlessly.
02:23What a great hit that is.
02:26He's a brave heart.
02:27This is a wonderful shot.
02:29Positioned back, he decides, and we're still going to get positive.
02:32He gets onto the offside, but realizes that the ball is given a little bit of width,
02:37and he can go up and over with no risk.
02:42Yeah, the ball's spinning like a top from off to leg for four leg buys, probably.
02:53Yeah, Jocker put away for four.
03:02Chances his arm, and goes big towards leg side.
03:07Aga again.
03:08Middles one, and sends it out of the ground.
03:12Takes the offspinner on, and pelts him over deep mid-wicket.
03:23Gone.
03:23One turns and just bounces outside off, so for once it's one, flirts at it.
03:31Lovely catch.
03:32A perfect length and perfect line.
03:35Sharply landed on the seam.
03:37There you go.
03:39Enough.
03:40And what a catch.
03:41Brilliantly taken.
03:43Third wicket for Ramathaswamy.
03:44And Mohamed Rezwan goes for 75, 362 for six.
03:51Numan Ali.
03:52His main job is left arm spin, but he's very decent with the bat.
03:55A best of 97.
03:59That is balled in.
04:02Does it again.
04:03Motosami, two wicks in the over.
04:06Beats the outside edge, but the ball turned enough to hit off stump.
04:10Little bit of extra spin.
04:13It didn't spin that much, what he was expecting.
04:16Again, not really close to the pitch of the ball.
04:20South Africa back in the game.
04:23362 for seven now.
04:24Sajid Khan again.
04:28He's no buck with the bat either.
04:30He's also got a first class hundred to his name.
04:36Damn, the third wicket.
04:38Beautiful delivery.
04:40The edge taken.
04:41Three wickets in the over.
04:43South Africa come roaring back.
04:47What a length.
04:48Nice and full.
04:49Again, a perfect delivery and a brilliantly taken in the slipcord.
04:55And captain himself making no mistake this time.
05:00And Pakistan losing three wickets at 362.
05:08Suddenly the over changes the session's outlook.
05:11Shahinsha Freedy walks in at number 10.
05:19Now waits for it and hits it through the offside.
05:22Hits it with power.
05:33There we go.
05:34There's the next wicket to go down.
05:36Shahinsha Freedy is shown so much restraint,
05:38but eventually decided to try and pull the trigger.
05:41Went early.
05:42And Muta Samia just beautifully.
05:44This time around, went for an expensive stroke.
05:49Missed it completely.
05:51Saw him coming out of the crease a bit too early.
05:55Drapped the length back.
05:56And the ball kept low.
05:59Hint of a movement off the surface as well.
06:02And that was more than enough for the left armer
06:04to pick up his sixth wicket.
06:07And that was of Shaheen Afridi.
06:09Next man to the crease, Hassan Ali.
06:11Salman Ali goes hard, but he hasn't middled it.
06:19And he's holed out.
06:20He's never been out in the 90s before, but he is this time.
06:24Unfortunately for him, he had to try and be aggressive
06:28because he felt like he couldn't trust his partner down the other end.
06:32But the Innings comes to an end,
06:33and South Africa will be mighty happy about that.
06:35And that's the story of the Pakistani Innings.
06:40A couple of batsmen getting to 93.
06:42Yeah, some good contributions.
06:44And 378 is what they post.
06:46I think the key for the Sinnings was the partnerships.
06:48They lost an early wicket.
06:49And then the captain, John Massoud, and Imam Ul Haq put on 161.
06:56And then that was followed up with Salman and Rizwan.
06:58Another 160 partnership.
07:01But all the credit is going to go to Mutasami.
07:04Six for 117.
07:06I know Salman Harmoor is a touch unlucky.
07:08So Brian had some wonderful moments as well.
07:10He had a couple of catches dropped off his bowling.
07:12Rabada, he charged in and tried to be as effective as possible.
07:15All did there a little bit and put in a lot of effort.
07:20Session summary.
07:21Five wickets to fall.
07:2265 wickets were added by Pakistan this morning.
07:33He's a wonderful player, Ed Markram.
07:36Very attractive to watch.
07:37A lovely piece of timing through the offside.
07:46And the ball will win that race.
07:52Last ball before lunch.
07:56And he defends well.
08:00It's a very good session for South Africa.
08:03It's a surface where the spinners have dominated and will dominate.
08:07So far, no wicket down South Africa.
08:12They are safely done by South Africa.
08:16Four overs, bowl shine.
08:18Two overs, none for five.
08:20No Manali, two overs, none for five.
08:23That is where the test match stands after first session of day two.
08:27Pakistan with a very impressive 378.
08:31And South Africa in response, 10 without a wicket.
08:33This trail by 368 runs.
08:36Some would say it's good to be impatient on a spinning surface.
08:45Might as well go hard and might as well experiment.
08:48I think name of the game for the spinners on a pitch like this, where there is so much of turn on offer.
08:59Now that is some drive.
09:04He is a powerful driver and that is a great example of that.
09:11Sajid Khan should not have any problem with Dandruff.
09:14He may have a problem against these two openers.
09:19That was some shot.
09:24That's a really good shot.
09:26The field was in and he's beaten the field with a bit of improvisation.
09:32That is nice stuff.
09:33Oh, that's a beauty, right?
09:45They've gone up in the air.
09:46What is happening now?
09:49What is happening now?
09:50I've got to wait before I sound excited.
09:54Adam Markram, what is he thinking?
09:57He went across reluctantly first time around.
09:59This time he's off.
10:00The extra bounce and nicely held between behind the stumps by Rizwan.
10:08Good resistance shown by Adam Markram.
10:13Van Mulder is in.
10:17Sajid round the wicket.
10:20Flashed away.
10:21It was short.
10:22So the shot was on the cut shot.
10:24He made sure that he had enough bat speed.
10:26Lovely shot.
10:31That is a beautiful shot.
10:32That is a classy cover drive.
10:34It is a full delivery.
10:36And it's been punished.
10:40That is short.
10:42And that has been punished.
10:43Too short.
10:44And pulled away.
10:49Cuts it away.
10:50Finds the gap.
10:51Pace on the ball.
10:53So it'll race away.
10:54Yeah, you give room.
10:57You got to pay.
11:02And the sweep shot.
11:03Probably the first of the innings.
11:06That's gone and gone to the fence very quickly.
11:13Oh, there's an edge, I think.
11:14And he's walking.
11:16Namanali, once again, picks up a wicket.
11:19Partnership is broken.
11:20And he's going to try and hit it to the leg side.
11:25And then decided to go through the off side.
11:28But it's a massive swing of the bat.
11:30Foot obviously nowhere near it.
11:32And it's a feather of an edge through.
11:35Two down now, South Africa.
11:36Fion Mulder.
11:37He has to go for 17, 80 for two.
11:41Tony De Souza is in.
11:42That didn't work as well.
11:51Change of action from Hassan Ali.
12:00Oh.
12:01Went for the yoker.
12:04Eye-fold toss has gone to the fence.
12:08A hundred raised.
12:09A hundred and twelve for two.
12:20And T is taken.
12:24A couple of wickets for Namanali.
12:27But it is Brian Rickleton right now.
12:30Forty-five of ninety-six.
12:33A hundred and twelve in thirty-four overs.
12:35They make the Pakistani ballers work hard.
12:39The only joy for one baller.
12:41It was the left armer who struck twice for Pakistan.
12:46So as it stands, 378 plays 112 for two.
12:51South Africa trail by 266.
12:57One-twelve for two South Africa as we enter the last session of day two.
13:01Not enough pace off the surface.
13:11And I think that's going to be a real challenge for the spinners moving forward in this test match.
13:18Picked up the length early and he's hit it away for four.
13:22One bounce over the rope.
13:23Yeah, he plays it well.
13:28There's defense there.
13:30But he loses that little race with the ball.
13:32It's half century for Rickleton.
13:36First half century in a career that's turning out to be one impressive one.
13:41Two hundreds to go is to go with his 50.
13:44That's the slot sweep and it's hit crisply for six, I think.
13:52That's gone all the way.
13:54What a good shot that is.
13:55Zosie now gaining confidence.
13:59And also finding a middle of the bat.
14:05Smashes it into the fence.
14:07It's working perfectly for South Africa and for the left-hander.
14:11So, boundary 6-4 for him.
14:18Big shot and a great shot.
14:20Lovely piece of timing.
14:22Great use of the feet.
14:24And away she went for a mighty six.
14:27This is the first time he's done that.
14:28And he's done that with so much control.
14:31So much venom.
14:32So much venom.
14:37Although it kept really low but
14:41De Zosie still managed
14:43to hit the ball into the gap.
14:46And picks up another
14:47another boundary.
14:49And that's his 50.
14:51Worked hard for his runs.
14:53Initially he was uncomfortable
14:54but adapted well.
15:00Down the ground.
15:01Hits it in the air.
15:03And hits it beautifully.
15:04Again,
15:05classy batting
15:07from Rickleton.
15:11Again,
15:12down the ground.
15:13This time
15:13through mid-off.
15:15That is
15:15a brilliant shot.
15:17That has raced away
15:18to the fence.
15:20Rickleton
15:20on the attack.
15:23No rhythm
15:24in his run-up
15:26and also
15:26the release of the ball.
15:27And that's why
15:28he hasn't met
15:29any
15:29success.
15:31Yet another
15:31boundary being leaked.
15:32Oh,
15:35catch!
15:36He's taken that
15:37brilliant as
15:38Barber and
15:39Salman Ali Agha
15:40with the wicket.
15:42What a catch.
15:43What a catch
15:44in the slips.
15:46Barber Azzam
15:47for the fielder.
15:49Great reflexes.
15:49You can see the
15:58clear on the bat.
16:01Okay.
16:02Fingers around
16:03underneath as
16:03the ball is taken.
16:05It's a clear catch.
16:05I satisfied.
16:06My decision
16:07for the big screen
16:08is...
16:08Got really hard
16:14for his 71
16:14but what a
16:16breakthrough
16:16for Pakistan.
16:22Was there noise?
16:23Always giving him.
16:24Stubbs goes up
16:25straight away
16:26which tends to
16:26suggest that
16:27there's no edge
16:28involved.
16:28Usually
16:29the batter
16:30has got an idea.
16:31We saw earlier
16:32on the other day
16:32Markham took forever
16:33and then was shown
16:35to miss it
16:35by a long way.
16:36Let's have a look-see.
16:37You can see
16:41the spikes
16:42as the ball
16:42is next to the bat.
16:44Your screen
16:45signals out.
16:47Yeah.
16:48Good decision
16:49by Rod Tucker.
16:52Sajid Khan
16:52now bowling
16:54to the new man
16:55at the crease
16:55Previs.
16:56Oh!
16:57He's got him out
16:58first delivery.
16:59Just looking
17:00to work it
17:01on the leg side.
17:02It probably
17:02stuck in the surface
17:03a little bit more
17:03than he was expecting
17:04when coming
17:06toward his legs
17:07and that
17:07hard hands
17:09push at the ball
17:10comfortable catch
17:12for skipper
17:12Sean Masood
17:13and
17:14first wicket
17:15for Sajid Khan.
17:18Fantastic.
17:19Pakistan
17:19suddenly
17:20from
17:21behind
17:22in the game
17:23is in front
17:24up now.
17:24193 for 5.
17:28That's close.
17:30Yeah.
17:30It's a straight
17:31delivery
17:32and would have
17:32gone on to
17:33hit the stumps.
17:34It's gone for a
17:35review straight away
17:36but it looked
17:36mighty close.
17:40Original decision
17:41is out.
17:42Pitching in line,
17:43impact in line
17:44and wickets
17:45hitting.
17:47Rod,
17:47stay with your
17:48out decision.
17:49If ever there
17:51was a term
17:51of absolute
17:52out,
17:53this is it.
17:55Only could get
17:55two of 13 balls.
17:57Six down
17:58South Africa
17:58for 200.
17:59Pulled it
18:06and he'll
18:08pick up a
18:08boundary
18:08here.
18:09Dezorsi
18:10in the last
18:10over.
18:16Picks up a
18:16single
18:17and tomorrow
18:18morning
18:18he'll have
18:19the strike
18:19and this
18:20partnership
18:21has shaped
18:22up well
18:2216 run
18:23effort
18:24from 39
18:24balls
18:25but Pakistan
18:27would feel
18:28extremely happy
18:29with how
18:29things have
18:30panned up
18:30for them
18:31in this
18:31test match.
18:34South Africa
18:35on the
18:37back foot
18:37here trying
18:38to survive
18:39in this
18:39test match.
18:40They trail
18:40by 162
18:41runs but
18:41bright spot
18:42has been
18:43Dezorsi.
18:45After an
18:45uneasy start
18:46he's made
18:46it count
18:47and now
18:48he needs
18:49support from
18:50Mutasami
18:51and rest
18:51of the
18:51cast.
18:55Rickleton
18:55with a
18:56very fine
18:5671.
18:57Dezorsi
18:5881 of
18:59140
18:59and so
19:00he needs
19:00support
19:01from
19:01Mutasami
19:02Subrian
19:03Rabada
19:04and Hama
19:05they all

19:06come together
19:07to make
19:08South Africa
19:09feel engaged
19:10in this
19:10test match.
19:12And the

19:14patient
19:15especially
19:15the left
19:17arm spinner

19:18and was
19:19able to
19:20pick up
19:20four important
19:21wickets
