Shadab c Stubbs b Nortje 52 (Pak 177-6)
An amazing, baffling, ridiculous innings comes to an end as Tristan Stubbs finally holds on to one of those catching opportunities.
52 from just 22 balls, with four sixes.
A partnership of 82 between Shadab and Iftikhar has completely changed the game for Pakistan.

Oh, Aiden Markram. What have you done?
Straight down his throat at long-on but he's spilled it.
South Africa have, quite simply, lost the plot.
Pak 175-5published at 18.3 overs
ANOTHER!
Six from the free hit and that's 50 from 20 balls for Shadab Khan.
Ridiculous innings. Ridiculous game.
Pak 169-5published at 18.3 overs
Oh my word.
A 90mph full toss is sent into the stands and it's a no-ball.
A free hit to come!
Anrich Nortje's had a mare.

A gem of an innings from Iftikhar Ahmed has got Pakistan right back into this.
A half-century from 33 balls.

BBC Sport at the SCGThe SCG has really filled up since the start to the point it's now almost full. It must be 85% Pakistan fans who are making a LOT of noise.

Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialThe wicket has got bounce on it which is ideal when you have a short boundary, it's playing a massive role in the score here.
Pak 159-5published at 18 overs
Redemption for Markram. A superb sliding save out at long-on saves a boundary, but they run well for three.
It felt like a good over from Parnell but it still went for 11.

Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialThe pressure is still building on South Africa and they probably didn't see themselves in this situation in the first six overs.
Pak 155-5published at 17.3 overs
It's all going wrong for South Africa. A fumble out at long-on from Aiden Markram means the batters run two, when it should've been an easy single.
Pressure, pressure, pressure.
Pak 152-5published at 17.1 overs
Ha! A huge slog and it flies off the edge to third man for four.
Can't do much about those.

Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialPakistan are taking the South Africa bowlers apart and they just haven't responded. They've kept the pace on the ball, making it easier for Pakistan to swing the bat.
Pak 148-5published at 17 overs
This is mad. It actually doesn't feel like Pakistan have batted well at all but all of a sudden they've got 150 with three overs to go.
They're on for a really decent total the way they're going.
Stunning knocks from these two so far, Shadab with 33 from 15 balls and Iftikhar with 42 from 29.
Pak 146-5published at 16.4 overs
They've finally caught one in the crowd!
It's a brilliant upper cut for six from Shadab Khan and South Africa are losing it.
Pak 140-5published at 16.3 overs
It's all going Pakistan's way at the moment.
Four more, sliced past a diving Temba Bavuma at cover...
