    WICKET

    Imam c&b Tahir 44 (Pak 98-1)

    HE'S DEFINITELY CAUGHT THIS ONE. WHAT A CATCH FROM IMRAN TAHIR.

    The leg-spinner has stuck out a right hand low in his follow-through and has plucked the ball out of the air, inches above the ground. It was well hit by Imam. It probably would have gone for four had he not caught it.

    Tahir's celebrations are always quite something but this might be the longest of the lot. He's done the full bend of a 200m race and then been pulled up by his team-mates halfway down the home straight.

  2. Fakhar Zaman looked very dangerous. Pakistan haven't looked as threatening since he was out.

  3. Pak 97-1

    Imam 44, Babar 7

    I'm saying nothing. I have made my opinions of JP Duminy quite clear on these pages in the past.

    Re Shiv (11:54) - Because the alternative is JP Duminy.

    A wonderful shot, punching it into the ground and giving the fielder no chance.

  6. Pak 96-1

    Finally a boundary to break the run of singles. It's delightful from Babar Azam. He crunches Lungi Ngidi through the covers.

    Wahab Riaz has a pair on binoculars on the balcony. I hope he was watching that shot.

  7. Pak 92-1

    South Africa are really squeezing now. Faf du Plessis' mood must be improving by the over.

  8. Get Involved - 'That' catch

    Text us on 81111

    It clearly bounced before being caught! What is Du Plessis getting upset about?

    Emma Kitson

    Clearly out. Enough of this nonsense. Tahir knows it as well.

  9. Pak 90-1

    Lungi Ngidi returns after that pasting he took in his opening spell. Just one from the over.

    Is the pitch slowing up? Is it harder to hit the ball as it gets softer? Are Pakistan just being more cautious.

    It's hard to tell.

    Shiv: Is it just me or has David Miller been particularly bad at fielding this World Cup? Missed run outs, dropped catches, no runs... what does he contribute to this SA side to justify being selected?

  11. Pak 89-1

    Imam 42, Babar 1

    Tahir has certainly been in the action. He's now bowling his second over and only concedes a single. Pakistan were 50-0 after 7.1 overs. They have only scored 39 runs in the 10 overs since.

  12. Time to make your own mind up on the Imran Tahir 'catch'.

    Was this out?

  13. Pak 88-1

    I hear your Rohit scoop and Fakhar paddle and give you Moeen Ali.

    I'm still not over this.

    Venkatraman: If there was a hall of infamy in this World Cup ranking needless shots, the one executed by Fakhar Zaman with Pakistan speeding away at 81-1 would rank top of the pile, closely followed by Rohit Sharma's 'scoop' in the game against Pakistan.

  15. Pak 87-1

    Yes, yes, yes Imam-ul-Haq. He times a flick off his toes to perfection and it goes between the two fielders on the leg side.

    Four more!

  17. Pak 81-1

    Imam 35, Babar 0

    Babar Azam is the new batsman and defends his first delivery.

  18. Drinks break

    The players take a drink after the fall of the wicket. Faf is rallying his troops, standing in the middle of a huddle and animatedly waving his arms.

  19. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    He is absolutely fuming with himself. He nearly broke his shin hitting himself with his bat as he walked off. Fakhar knows he's thrown it away.

  20. Isa Guha
    Ex-England seamer on BBC Test Match Special

    Fakhar Zaman was trying to be too cute there.
