00:00Hello and welcome to Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.

00:13Vigotel Mobile presents Bank Al-Fala Test Series 2025.

00:18Day 3 here at Lahore.

00:22Opportunity to go deeper and try and get closer to that Pakistan score.

00:27378, plays 216 for six.

00:32Importantly, Dezozzi is still out there.

00:3581, not out.

00:37Four wickets for Numan and a wicket each for Salman and Sarjit.

00:49Sarjit Khan, round the wicket, a slip and a short leg.

00:53Dezozzi to face.

00:55Nice and simple forward defensive.

00:57Now, the other thing will be is how the spinners now operate.

01:03It's very interesting on such a surface.

01:08That's nasty play.

01:10That's short and wide.

01:11Sarjit will be very unhappy with that.

01:13He hasn't quite hit his straps here early in the morning.

01:15He knows it's important for Pakistan.

01:17They need to pick up wickets.

01:21Has that carried?

01:22I think it has.

01:24Maybe send it upstairs just to get it checked.

01:26But Pakistan seemed confident.

01:33That's perfect.

01:34That looks...

01:35That has gone straight in.

01:38That's a good catch.

01:39Salman Ali Yaga.

01:41Pakistan have their first success.

01:42Armour walks in at number nine.

01:49Goes reverse again and beats the field and gets a boundary.

01:53That's nicely played.

01:58Gresham again.

02:00Does it go the whole way?

02:01Yes, it does.

02:02Takes him on to the cusp.

02:0498 for him.

02:05He goes reverse and he plays it beautifully down to D point.

02:12It's a fabulous inning.

02:14On a turning surface, Zorzi gets to his second Test Match 100.

02:20And he's grafted and grinded and played beautifully.

02:25And what a superb knock in foreign conditions.

02:33Comes down the track as well.

02:35Catch it is the call.

02:36And is that taken?

02:37That's a great catch.

02:39China Fridi has claimed it.

02:40They've got the better of the strike force, Zorzi.

02:51It went flat.

02:52It went...

02:54Got a straight to long on fielder there, Shahin Shah, Fridi.

02:59They're taking an excellent catch.

03:03104 of 171.

03:06Very fine innings.

03:07256 for eight now, South Africa.

03:09And now we've got Sobrine who's in.

03:17That's such a good shot.

03:19That really is a special shot.

03:24Edge beautifully taken.

03:27Nice soft hands in the slips.

03:28Salman Aliaga picks up a catch.

03:32New ball working for Noman.

03:34A little less spin.

03:35And ball carried quite nicely.

03:40And Salman Aliaga, such a good fielder in the slip court and big hands.

03:47Sobrine gone for not much.

03:50268 for nine.

03:55Beautiful delivery.

03:56Saajid Khan picking up his third.

04:04Yeah.

04:05A ripper.

04:06An absolute ripper that was.

04:09They've got a fantastic lead on a spinning track.

04:15That is a massive lead.

04:16And so, led so well by Noman Ali.

04:20And that is where the match stands right now.

04:23Pakistan with a huge advantage after batting so well in the first innings.

04:28South Africa have conceded a lead of 109 runs.

04:31They fought well.

04:32But 109 runs on a surface like this is a massive lead.

04:43First ball of the second innings.

04:45Played confidently.

04:46Oh, there's the first one.

04:55Noman Al-Haq deciding to use his feet.

04:57First delivery.

04:58Not having a look.

05:00Deciding to be positive.

05:02He was looking to push the ball towards mid-off.

05:05But the baller saw him coming out of the crease.

05:07And dragged the length back.

05:12Who was given the new ball by removing Imam Al-Haq for naught.

05:18Oh, the Pakistan captain, Sean Masood, is to the crease early again.

05:26Oh!

05:26Used to the feet as well.

05:28But this time it's very convincing.

05:29That's a beautiful shot.

05:30Got near the pitch of it and caresses it through the covers.

05:33Oh, quicker one, flatter one.

05:38Huge appeal given.

05:40It was the one that's come straight back in.

05:43Harmer.

05:45Well, he bamboozles Sean.

05:49Pitching outside of Impact in line.

05:51And it's umpire's call.

05:55The review retained.

05:57But the decision stands.

05:58Sean Masood misled that arm delivery.

06:03Which has come back in and hit his pad.

06:06Captain goes for seven.

06:07Thirty-three for two.

06:09Baba Razum.

06:11Oh, it's in at number four.

06:16And that is lunch.

06:18And both Pakistani batters will be much relieved.

06:23That they're just going off the pitch.

06:26As not out.

06:27First rings, 378 for Pakistan.

06:31Played 269 South Africa.

06:34A couple of wickets fallen down for Pakistan.

06:38They're 36 for two.

06:39But in essence, they lead by 145.

06:44Another session about to begin.

06:46Another grueling session, may I add.

06:48Because South Africa need to fight back, bite back.

06:52Simon Harmer will begin the show for South Africa.

07:04Yeah, a little bit of width through the offside.

07:06It's punched for four.

07:09No, not really.

07:10Oh, yes.

07:15Catch it is a call.

07:17Long off.

07:18Has to catch this one.

07:20Grasses it.

07:21Great try.

07:24Oh, gone.

07:25What a good catch that is.

07:27This was hit hard by Abdullah Shafiq.

07:29And, well, he'll be extremely disappointed to miss out on a big innings.

07:33Because he was shaping up so well against spin.

07:37Now, for the second time, he decided to take the aerial route.

07:41Failed miserably.

07:4441 of 73.

07:4564 for three.

07:53Down the ground.

07:54Barber using his feet.

07:55And hits it past Madon.

08:03Four runs.

08:04Way too short.

08:06Easy pickings for Barber.

08:15And that'll do.

08:16The sweep shot.

08:17He's middle that and hit it extremely hard.

08:20He'll feel much better.

08:21And now the proper sweep shot.

08:27First the paddle and then the hard sweep.

08:30That is lovely batting.

08:36That's beautifully played.

08:37Use of the feet.

08:38Gets him when you're the pitch.

08:39And he's so quick and nimble on his feet when he gets going down.

08:43Does Barber Ozan.

08:44And it's wonderfully struck.

08:45Another one.

08:53This one dragged down.

08:54And that's also what using your feet can do.

08:57All of a sudden it makes the spinner change his length.

09:00And then if you're nimble enough and talented enough,

09:03you can rock back quickly and hammer it away through the wicket.

09:06More runs for Barber Ozan.

09:11He's motoring along now.

09:13Three boundaries now in the silver in no time.

09:1650 partnership is raised as well.

09:18Off 65 balls.

09:22That's close.

09:24I think that's gone.

09:24I think that's out.

09:25Yes.

09:26That is wonderful.

09:28Reverse swing delivery.

09:29He hadn't shaped anything back.

09:30All of a sudden he does.

09:32And it does for Barber Ozan, who's probably going to send it upstairs.

09:39Original decision is out.

09:43Kichika said of impact up the score and wicket sitting.

09:47Rod, you'll be staying with your out decision.

09:49Stand by.

09:51It's a tremendous breakthrough by South Africa and Rabada there, providing them with a lot of relief.

09:58But nevertheless, it was a fine innings.

10:0142 off 72.

10:02He looked good and in form.

10:07Mohamed Rezwan comes in, replaces Barber Ozan.

10:10Punches it through the offside.

10:17The timing's good.

10:19And the placement's even better.

10:22Boundary from Rezwan.

10:27That's the shot that he's played extremely well throughout this innings as Shaqeel sweeps it away.

10:34As a batter, you need to be absolutely sure with the length of the ball.

10:41And he was.

10:46And it's time to reverse.

10:48And he nails that.

10:49That's South Shaqeel.

10:51Yeah, South saw Zizorsi executing that stroke consistently in his innings of 100.

10:59No need to run for that.

11:01Oh, beautiful.

11:05He's picked that up.

11:06But there is the fielder.

11:09South Shaqeel chancing his arm.

11:12And he thought he had got all of it.

11:14But no.

11:15It's gone down to deep square leg.

11:18Since the line was within the stumps.

11:21And he wasn't able to place that ball towards mid-wicket.

11:24In fact, hit the ball towards quailing where there was a fielder present who made no mistake.

11:34His contribution, 38.

11:37Pakistan, 150 for five.

11:39Makram will just be slightly relieved as they go into tea.

11:45The session was going Pakistan's way.

11:47South Africa, right at the stroke of tea.

11:51Get a wicket.

11:52Get a lifeline.

11:53Well, that's where we are with Pakistan, 378, playing 269.

12:01Now, Pakistan, 150 for five.

12:04They lead by 259.

12:06Slow.

12:16Very, very slow.

12:21Oh, gone.

12:22Done.

12:23Beautifully bowled.

12:24Rizwan there.

12:26Venturing out of the crease.

12:27And paying the price for it.

12:29Wanted to just run the ball to the onside.

12:34Left a gap in there.

12:35There you go.

12:36Oh, you beauty.

12:37That's classical delivery from an off spinner.

12:43The Zwan gone for 14.

12:44It's 150 for six now.

12:51And thank you for coming.

12:55He's done looking for a reverse sweep shot.

12:59Yeah, promotion didn't work for Shaina Freedy.

13:03Wanted to play reverse out of the rough.

13:05The ball was a little too close.

13:08Got the top edge and a comfortable catch.

13:11There was sun in the way.

13:13But no problem now.

13:14You've got it.

13:15And he's going to go back without scoring.

13:21He's had a wonderful time with the ball.

13:23Now his turn to bat well with Salman Ali Agha.

13:26Oh, that's a heavy shot.

13:27Oh, that's a heavy shot.

13:32And that's a six.

13:37Oh, bowled him.

13:38That's his tenth.

13:40Fantastic piece of bowling from the left armor.

13:43And Salman Ali Agha becomes the fourth South African spinner to achieve that milestone.

13:47And it is a massive milestone.

13:48A brilliant milestone.

13:55Agha decided to plant his front foot way too early.

13:59Has given Muthasami a chance or a place to just go through from behind his legs.

14:06Spinning a little bit.

14:07Not much, but really, really good pace.

14:11And Salman Ali Agha gone for four.

14:20Well, that's the umpteenth time that the finger has gone up in this over.

14:24Let's see whether it's going to be out or not.

14:27Another review by a Pakistani batsman.

14:32Pitching in line, impact in line, and wickets hitting.

14:36Please stay with your out decision.

14:39Stand by.

14:40Your screen.

14:41Well, this time, he got it absolutely right.

14:44Another five-wicket haul for Muthasami.

14:46What a test match he's having.

14:49Six in the first innings, five in the second.

14:52Eleven wickets for him in this test match.

14:56And he's not done yet.

14:57One sixty-seven for nine.

15:04Sajid tries his luck, tries his hand, but that is it.

15:10Previce with the catch.

15:12South Africa bowled Pakistan out in this second innings.

15:16They will lead 277.

15:18Harmer gets his fourth.

15:20So, as it stands after the completion of three innings, 378 played 269.

15:29Pakistan bowled out for 167.

15:32South Africa in the fourth innings will require 277.

15:38Right, South Africa require 277 runs.

15:44Pakistan, obviously, ten wickets.

15:46Hassan Ali with the new ball.

15:48It's going to be a marathon for the South Africans, if they are, to get close to the target set by the Pakistanis.

15:57And he's very short and thumped away.

16:06Oh, diving.

16:08No, Baba doesn't pull that back.

16:11That's going to the boundary.

16:12Oh, this time he tries to be aggressive, but I don't think the ball was in the right area.

16:20He'll feel that as he walks back to the dressing room, that was a touch loose.

16:24And Pakistan have their first.

16:27Ball didn't spin.

16:29He was expecting the ball to spin.

16:30That's why he wanted to go mid-wicket.

16:33Once again, a cross-spat shot did not work on this surface.

16:38Gone for three now, 13 for one.

16:42Oh, wicket.

16:45It's almost like Veer Mulder was not trying to play a shot at that.

16:49He's still trying to work out what happened.

16:52Because he was trying to get out of the line of the ball, Mulder.

16:56And yeah, kind of off the face.

17:00Thick edge.

17:01Ball was dying.

17:03And Salman Ali Yaga poused it nicely.

17:07What a season he's having.

17:10A couple of excellent seasons and he's rolling it beautifully.

17:15Mulder gone without scoring.

17:1718 for two, South Africa.

17:21That's beautifully played.

17:23If he had just stayed in position, he would have been able to take it on the full toes and properly hit it through the covers.

17:28But it was premeditated and executes well.

17:3226 for two.

17:34Pakistan sailing smoothly in this contest.

17:37South Africa up against it.

17:3938 for the loss of two.

17:40No, it's not going to happen.

17:47The ball is spinning.

17:48Not as a call.

17:49What are they going to do about this?

17:53He's trying to explain it to the keeper.

17:55Shan Masood doesn't look too interested.

17:58It would be wishful because the impact was outside the off stump.

18:06Still trying to convince Noman Ali.

18:09I decided against it.

18:10So that is the end of the play on day three with South Africa 51 for two in pursuit of 277 to win this test match.

18:21Field day for the spinners.

18:2216 wickets fell today.

18:23Yeah, two early wickets for Pakistan.

18:28Markram was cleaned up by Noman and then Mulder had no clue.

18:33Noman Ali, two for 20.

18:35Hassan Ali used for two.

18:37Sajid Khan wicketless.

18:39And Salman Ali Agha with an impressive four-over stint.

18:42None for seven.

18:44That's the match summary then.

18:45Pakistan 378 in South Africa will conceding a lead.

18:50269 all out.

18:51And in second innings, Pakistan were rolled over for 167.

18:55And there was light at the end of the tunnel.

18:57South Africa had to begin cleverly.

18:59Need a lot of runs, a lot of magic.

19:02And need 226 runs to win.
