  1. Pak 68-4published at 10 overs

    Got to start them young, right?

    Halfway through and Pakistan will certainly want the next 10 overs to be a bit more profitable.

    The number of (very) young babies at Pakistan games never ceases to impress me.

  3. Pak 65-4published at 9.3 overs

    Four more down the ground!

    The crowd has come back to life all of a sudden.

    Short, wide and backward of square and a much needed boundary for Pakistan.

  5. Pak 59-4published at 9.1 overs

    That'll help!

    Slashed away with disdain for four by Iftikhar.

    Pakistan can't seem to build any momentum at the moment.

  7. Pak 55-4published at 9 overs

    Just five off the over as Pakistan are just crawling along at the moment.

    Someone needs to start a counter-attack soon.

    Mohammad Haris' 28 from 11 balls has been the only entertainment from Pakistan's point of view so far.

    There's a little bit more life in this wicket when the ball is new so you need to be a bit more circumspect.

  10. Pak 50-4published at 8 overs

    Pakistan bring up their fifty but four wickets down. Far from ideal.

    And now they've got to deal with Tabraiz Shamsi, the number three ranked T20 bowler in the world.

    Nawaz off the mark with a boundary, an unconvincing one.

  12. Pak 49-4published at 7.2 overs

    Hostile stuff from Rabada, this.

    Mohammad Nawaz gets a rather uncertain boundary, backing away from one outside off stump that races away off the edge for four.

    Pak 46-4

    Would have been a worldie.

    A brilliant delivery from Rabada nips in to Mohammad Nawaz and pins him on the glove - such is the pace that it flies way beyond keeper Quionton de Kock, who puts in a Superman-style dive but isn't able to hold on.

    De Kock grimaces in discomfort, I think he landed awkwardly on his shoulder, but is fine to carry on.

  14. Pakistan 43-4published at 7 overs

    Remember, South Africa win this and they're through but they've still got another game against the Netherlands in their favour.

    Pakistan have got to win. So 43-4 is probably not what they were hoping for.

    Masood c Bavuma b Nortje 2 (Pak 43-4)

    Hmmm. This isn't very good.

    Chipped straight to mid-off. Nortje takes the pace off the ball for once and Shan Masood just plonks it straight up in the air to Temba Bavuma, who takes a simple catch.

    A nothing shot, really. Pakistan in real trouble.

    It didn't start well for Pakistan, with opener Mohammad Rizwan going in the first over.

    A wicket each for Wayne Parnell, Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi.

  17. Pak 42-3published at 6 overs

    Oooh! A risky single from Iftikhar Ahmed first ball, a direct hit from Tristan Stubbs at cover would have been out.

    That's a very good powerplay for South Africa, whose bowlers continue to impress. So, so good to watch.

    That's a fantastic catch. It was high and coming over Rabada's left shoulder and a hard catch, especially at night.

    Babar c Rabada b Ngidi 6 (Pak 40-3)

    Another!

    A brilliant catch from Rabada and Babar Azam's struggles continue.

    The ball has gone so high, and Kagiso Rabada covers a decent amount of ground out at mid-wicket to take a superb running catch under the lights.

    The crowd falls silent...

  20. Pak 40-2published at 5 overs

    A casual 92mph from Nortje to finish a good over.

    South Africa's bowlers are so good to watch, every one offers something different.
