00:00Welcome to the
00:29Hello and welcome to Qadhafi Stadium, Lahore.
00:32The Vigotel Mobile presents Pankal Fala Test Series 2025.
00:38Pakistan versus South Africa.
00:40First test, day four.
00:43In that first innings, Pakistan 378, South Africa 269.
00:48Then a collapse at the back end of the second innings for Pakistan, 167 all out.
00:54South Africa lost a couple last night, but Rickleton is there, 29 not out.
00:59South Africa needing 226 on a surface.
01:04They're offering a lot to the spinners.
01:07And just that crumbling surface.
01:09So plenty to work with for the spinners.
01:12Be patient and hit the right areas.
01:15You will get purchase.
01:25Right, the start of day four.
01:28Shaheen Shah Freedy.
01:30Slip in a gully.
01:38A little bit of shape.
01:44Oh, big appeal.
01:45That looks very close.
01:46And given.
01:47What a start.
01:49What a start to the day for Pakistan.
01:50Yeah, brilliant.
01:52They're going to consider whether they should send it upstairs.
01:54He's gone and batted on the off-stump.
01:56So did he get outside the line?
01:57We don't think so.
01:58Original decision is out.
02:04Pitching outside of impact in line.
02:06Wickets hitting.
02:08Ward will be staying with your out decision.
02:10Standby.
02:11Go on screen.
02:12Go on screen.
02:13Signal out.
02:15Freedy.
02:17Wicket in the very first over of the day.
02:20Exactly the start.
02:21Pakistan wanted.
02:24Zosie out for 16.
02:2551 for three.
02:28Tristan Stubbs.
02:30Reverse sweep and gone.
02:36And straight away the change in field.
02:38Change in tactic from Stubbs.
02:41And another one goes.
02:43There's a change in field.
02:45Silly Midoff in play.
02:46So change in tactic.
02:47The reverse sweep.
02:48And just an easy collection at Slip for Salman Ali Agha.
02:55And the reverse sweep didn't work.
02:57Pakistan have another.
02:59Stops.
02:59Caught at Slip.
03:02He's gone for two.
03:03South Africa sink further.
03:0455 for four.
03:08Edge end.
03:09Well.
03:11It was a toughie for the first Slip fielder.
03:13The ball was kind of on its way down when it got through Keeper and Salman Ali Agha,
03:20who is an excellent Slip fielder.
03:22Lovely bowling boys.
03:24Nice one through the offside.
03:33Riddleton has played a lovely cover drive for four.
03:38Yeah, he's been beaten plenty of times.
03:41But we haven't seen any crack in his resolve so far.
03:45Got the opportunity to find a boundary and he was ready for it.
03:49Brilliant.
03:50Brilliant.
03:50That's a good stroke in the air and clears the fielder.
04:01Picks up a boundary.
04:02But this is his game.
04:06Clearing the front leg and backing his natural instincts.
04:14Now that's a mighty good strike.
04:17That's gone all the way.
04:19Absolutely nailed it, Brevis.
04:22In the slot and he's not going to stop himself from playing such shots.
04:26Beautifully struck.
04:27There was plenty of room to free his arms and he was ready for it.
04:32A brilliant hit.
04:36Yeah, it's another slot.
04:38In the slot.
04:39And he's punishing Numan Ali.
04:44And now he's prepared to take few chances and he's going after Numan and doing it quite well.
04:51That's nicely played.
04:55So he'll start where he left off before the drinks break.
04:58Boundary time for Brevis.
05:00I think the good thing is he's been positive.
05:03And then we've got Ryan Rickleton who's pretty secure about his defense and being able to survive.
05:08And that's a good blend for a partnership in these circumstances.
05:14This slot has done a really, really good job.
05:17Chances is a huge swing of the bat and it's edged away, but he's got the ball to the fence.
05:32And you have to tell the baller, I'm coming for you.
05:35I'm looking for runs.
05:36That'll create a bit of pressure on the ballers.
05:39And that's what Brevis is looking to do.
05:42Not the first time he has taken chances against Numan Ali.
05:46That's in the air, gone high and clears everything.
05:56It's a 6 and 50 for the youngster.
05:59Given the fact that he was dismissed on a duck in the previous innings.
06:04Came out with all the confidence in the world.
06:08And he's producing goods for South Africa.
06:11Numan Ali produces an absolute jaffa.
06:21Pitches, leg hits off.
06:23And look at the reaction.
06:25Oh, what a delivery.
06:26What a delivery.
06:27To get another 10-wicket haul in a test match for Numan Ali.
06:34On the edge of the crease.
06:36Ball with a flattered trajectory.
06:38The batsman thought it's an arm delivery.
06:41But it spun and cleaned him up.
06:45Beautiful.
06:47Beautiful.
06:47And you can judge by the reaction what it meant.
06:53But a fabulous innings.
06:54Robrev is 54 of 54.
06:57South Africa lose their fifth.
06:59128 for five.
07:07Turned low and taken.
07:09Straight away the ball turns from leg to off.
07:15The outside edge found.
07:18He's certainly a baller for second innings.
07:22Sajid Khan, he was out of sorts in the first innings.
07:26He was all over the shop.
07:28But this morning, he's been on the money.
07:33He has bowled with control.
07:34And that was a piece of a delivery.
07:36Pitched outside the leg stump.
07:40Had the batsman blinded.
07:42But what a take in the slips.
07:45He's safe as houses.
07:47Salman Aliaga in slips.
07:50And a big wicket for Pakistan.
07:53Rickleton, the clue, has been dislodged.
08:00Drives it on the offside.
08:03Maybe come back for the second.
08:07And just be two.
08:09And with that, that'll be lunch.
08:13South Africa will go to lunch.
08:15137 for six.
08:18They still need 140.
08:20Pakistan having gotten four wickets in this session.
08:24They'll feel that they are very close to going one-up in the series.
08:32South Africa have rallied.
08:34There's a quick and straightaway when Shaheen got to Zouzzi in the very first over.
08:39Stubbs went quickly.
08:40But a partnership between Brevis and Rickleton gave South Africa hope.
08:46But Noman Ali and then Sarjit Khan removed those two.
08:50And now it's 137 for six.
08:51Talking about Noman Ali and his effort as a captain.
08:56You have to just throw the ball to him.
08:58You don't have to advise him.
09:00You don't have to ask anything.
09:02He'll deliver.
09:03He's done that again.
09:03So as it stands, 378, plays 269.
09:09And Pakistan in the second innings bowled out for 167.
09:13Now South Africa have lost six.
09:16And they're 137.
09:17Still need 140 runs.
09:19Pakistan need four wickets.
09:20A great last session for Pakistan as the duel will begin again.
09:38Given by the umpire.
09:40Loud appealing from Pakistan.
09:41Sarjit Khan picks up a wicket.
09:45Half-hearted attempt at sweeping the ball.
09:47Probably a late reaction.
09:49Muthaswamy wants another look at it.
09:54Original decision is out.
09:57Pitching outside of.
09:58Impacting line and wickets hitting.
10:01Arad, stay with your out decision.
10:03Standby.
10:05You're on screen.
10:06Yeah, I mean he was a dead duck.
10:07The moment he missed the sweep shot he was done.
10:12And so Pakistan now three strikes away from winning this first test match.
10:17Played well in the first innings.
10:20Just an early exit in the second.
10:22Got six.
10:25Hammer is a newcomer.
10:27That's not good wicket keeping.
10:34And not a good balling.
10:35First delivery from Cheyenne.
10:37Down the leg side.
10:39Four buys.
10:43Nice shot.
10:44Driven well.
10:45So many things to like about this shot.
10:47Didn't try to over hit it.
10:49It was about footwork.
10:50Once he got there.
10:52Just smooth flow of the blade.
10:53Earning him a four.
10:54This is a pitch where you cannot go full.
10:57No good.
11:03This might go for four.
11:09Oh, swings back in front.
11:12Yes.
11:13Shaheen Shahfrey.
11:14He breaks through.
11:16The variable bounce.
11:17We've seen it as the test match has gone on for the faster bowlers.
11:20Kyle Verena did not even look up or turn around.
11:24He just headed for the dressing room.
11:26He knew.
11:27He was done.
11:28He was dusted.
11:31You can get that ball to land and stay down.
11:34Might be a puff of dust.
11:36We'll have to look.
11:37But it doesn't get hard.
11:38Or hits him well below the roll.
11:40On the shin.
11:41No doubt about that.
11:42He barely looks around.
11:43One, two, three.
11:45Finger goes up.
11:46One, two, three.
11:47One, two, three.
11:48One, two, three.
11:48Second wicket for Afridi.
11:50He's been so much better today.
11:52So much better.
11:53His energy, his approach, approach, everything.
11:57Kyle Verena goes for 19.
12:03Edge, and that's just trickled away down to third to the fence.
12:08Lovely bowling, but no pace in the pitch.
12:10Oh, bowling.
12:15That one's gone the other way and hits off some.
12:19That's the delivery that Wazi Makram used to use so effectively.
12:23When it's reverse swinging, there's a lefty.
12:25You go around the wicket, and if you can get the ball to swing from straight,
12:29it's an awesome away swinger to a right-hander.
12:33Have a look at this.
12:34On the angle, it looks like at one stage it might head down the leg side,
12:38and then no.
12:38So, puts the indicator on, starts to swing,
12:43and then clatters into the stumps.
12:47It's nasty bold.
12:49Brian wouldn't have seen too many of those kind of deliveries before.
12:52What an impact he's had.
12:56What an improved performance from the first innings.
12:58Naan Afridi picks up his third.
13:04So, Brian goes for eight.
13:06183 for Naan.
13:07Oh, yes.
13:13Beautifully bowled, and that is the end of the test match.
13:16Shahina Afridi picks up his fourth.
13:19And we saw great reverse swing bowling from Shahina Afridi.
13:24Great cricket from Pakistan.
13:26The fans absolutely loved every moment of this.
13:29They needed this big breakthrough for Pakistan cricket.
13:32Well, it has come Pakistan's way at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.
13:36They were the better side.
13:37And after winning the toss, they did not look back.
13:41Performances from the spin department.
13:44Pace from Shahina Afridi runs from Pakistan's top order and late middle order.
13:49And so, almost a perfect hand from Pakistan.
13:52South Africa, clearly beaten by great bowling performance.
13:58183 all out.
14:00Deval Brevis was the star for them.
14:02I thought he looked really good.
14:05Playing against the spin and hitting the ball.
14:07A mile.
14:0854 of 54.
14:10Yeah, they needed a couple of big partnerships to get over the line.
14:14Only one, which was impressive between Rickleton and Brevis.
14:18That actually threatened Pakistan for a little while.
14:21But once this partnership was broken, it became too easy for the Pakistani ballers.
14:27And it was Numan and Shahin Shah Afridi.
14:31Absolutely, Hassan Ali.
14:33None for 14, but Numan Ali.
14:35Four wickets for 79.
14:36Was used as a strike force for 28 overs.
14:40He was mostly all over South Africa.
14:43Like a rash, Sajit Khan.
14:44Two for 33.
14:46His role was curtailed just a little bit.
14:49Compared to his first innings role.
14:51And Shahin Shah Afridi rolled back with four for 33.
14:54So that is the upshot.
15:00Match summary then.
15:01Pakistan 378.
15:03And that was the real difference.
15:04Batted so well.
15:05Muthasamy.
15:06Six for 117.
15:08South Africa.
15:09A few runs short.
15:10269 all out.
15:11Second innings.
15:12Really did not hurt Pakistan.
15:13They were bowled out for 167.
15:16But had plenty of runs to play with.
15:18And in the end, South Africa were blown away for 183.
15:22And Pakistan winning the contest by 93 runs.
15:26And go 1-0 up in this two-test match series.
15:29We'll see you next time.
15:591-0 up in this two-test match series.
