Transcript

00:00this test match has changed course south africa now in the lead by 35 runs and for a team that

00:12doesn't bat that brightly in the second innings there's got to be pressure on sean masood and

00:16company well test cricket is about challenge so you've got to challenge yourself the pitch

00:20has subsided just a little bit it's a feeling that I'm getting up here beautifully played

00:26through the offside no cushion there so big chase for barbara azam at least two if not three they come

00:33back for the third the problem is rum is and you know as well as I do that when you feeling like

00:39you're on the back foot and things aren't going according to plan the surface seems to be not

00:44happening when you've got pressure then all of a sudden there seems to be kremlins and then that's

00:48where you feel that this game's at pakistan's mental spaces whoops we're waiting for something

00:53to happen and the wicket has flattened out but when they come out to bat it might be a different

00:58kettle of fish there's one trying to keep them nice and happy

01:11i've got to still maintain good body posture body language shoulders must not droop

01:16but how well is middle the ball i mean we talk a great deal about uh the shots that he's played

01:24but on a difficult kind of a surface especially for somebody like rabata is timed the ball beautifully

01:31that ball looks superb for reverse swing as well if you can have a look at how one side is shiny the

01:37other one scuffed up these batters they would have been preparing for the innings for the last

01:42probably hour and a bit

01:48this is frowning up just a little bit in conversation

01:52rizwan and salman aliaga that looks pretty cool

02:02because definitely it'll be about technique but more so about the mental aptitude and

02:07what is the mental capacity of pakistan moving forward in this game because now the lead is with

02:12south africa approaches lead by 38 and he's led them into action the short ball trying to play a straight

02:21drive and starting to use his feet to the fastboilers

02:37yes somehow he gets it away the yorker

02:42is played rather nicely for a run so he's off strike and he's on 47 his career best

02:48tell you what that was a proper delivery that one had dipped that was almost like the old waka

02:51eunice used to do had an in-swing late in-swing dip well dealt with there by bravada

03:00as i said we had to look up at that close-up of the ball when babra azim was giving it a shine and

03:04boy oh boy it looks primed it looks perfect condition to be reversing it's been scuffed on the

03:09one side because of the nature of the pitch and nicely shined on the other this one's going to be

03:14another in-swinger to mutasami obviously got his hands cup to not show it but it is going to

03:22be the innie beautifully played once again waiting on the ball ball tailing back into the stumps

03:37as a batter when you've been at the crease for a lot a period of time you can actually work out

03:41what the ball is going to do you can watch the bowler as he runs in you can see a big discrepancy

03:46between the shiny side and the lighter side there you'll start looking for it as he runs in and

03:51you'll be able to see that it's going to be shaping in towards you unless he changes it as he runs in

03:56slices it runs for a mutasami picks up two and so the fun continues for uh mutasami is into the 80s

04:12and rabata 47 68 run partnership south africa lead by 41. yes they're both going to be starting to think

04:20about milestones they have to bat for each other have a look at that now that tells a story in the

04:26series last four wicked contributions in the series 50 from pakistan so that's three innings best

04:34partnership of 16. south africa the last four wicked contributions 282 at an average of just under 26

04:42and the best partnership of 71 this one's 68 so that could be improved now

04:46my strong recommendation to you polly and to south africa is to get those last four into top

04:54four positions if we just get the top six batting properly

05:02it shows um how good a space that dressing room is when the tail is fighting you know that

05:07you're in good shape salman aliaga comes on to ball

05:12chance at the non-striker's end mutasami there

05:17initially thinking of a run he'll now get that

05:20courtesy overthrow in pakistan had been frivolous in the overthrows department is that his high score

05:26now kg yep previous best was 47 i will have to get that graphic up he's improved and once again the

05:34the strike rate is phenomenal better than a run of ball 48 of 35 this time

05:47you

05:48so

05:49at

05:51it says
