  1. Many thanks, Jonty Colman.

    Always an honour to be handed the reins by some involved with a famous mustard dynasty.

  2. Pak 102-3

    Pakistan bring up the 20-over mark by passing into three figures, with five runs coming from Coetzee's over.

    That's the end of my spell, I shall hand you over to Timothy Abraham to take you through the next phase of this match.

    The tournament as a spectacle could really do with Pakistan winning this game and Australia losing tomorrow to keep them in touch of the chasing pack. We're already completely starved of close contests, so the last thing this World Cup need is the top four sewn up with over a fortnight of the pool stage still to play.

  4. Pak 97-3

    Seven runs come from the over and maybe, Maharaj may get given a rest soon, having bowled five straight overs.

    Coetzee has been excellent from his two overs so far, sitting on figures of 1-4 so far.

  5. Nikesh Rughani

    Babar's strike rate has taken quite a lot of criticism during the tournament but he has found himself in tricky situations.

    He has often seen wickets fall around him so he has to rebuild.

  6. Pak 94-3

    Babar gets his hands through that one and runs away to the mid-wicket boundary for four runs.

    He's into the 30s now but we have not seen too many extravagant shots from him so far.

    With more than 30 overs to go, he could well be just biding his time.

  7. Pak 90-3

    Again, just two runs come from the over. Pakistan's run rate is going one way, but not the way they want it to be heading.

    Maharaj continues for a fifth over at the other end.

  8. And here is how Coetzee got that prized wicket of Rizwan.

  9. Pak 88-3

    Nothing too extravagant from Iftikhar so far, with Maharaj's fourth over being nursed around for just two singles.

    Iftikhar remains on strike for Coetzee's second over and the passionate South African quick will have marked Pakistan's card with that early wicket.

    But he is a much better player than that. He is a very capable player of spin so his role now might be to attack them.

  11. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Iftikhar Ahmed has been bumped up the order which is interesting, because his role usually is a hitter, we have seen him bludgeon some impressive cameos at the end.

  12. Pak 86-3

    Iftikhar Ahmed is next in to bat. We have seen how explosive he can be with the bat in hands, but coming in with over 35 overs remaining will not be how Pakistan will want to be using him.

    Does he hold back for a bit? Does he go straight into smacking the ball into all areas of the ground?

    Your move, Iftikhar.

  13. Carlos Brathwaite
    Ex-West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Gerald Coetzee continues to impress. He is aggressive, he is passionate. If you walked past him on the street, you wouldn't know if he was a bouncer or a rugby player.

    He is a frightening proposition in the middle overs and he gives South Africa an X-factor. Rizwan was trying to take him on, unsettle him early, but the extra pace does the trick.

    That is a very significant breakthrough.

    WICKET

    Rizwan 31 c De Kock b Coetzee (Pak 86-3)

    Instant impact from Gerald Coetzee!

    Coetzee has looked threatening with his pace and he takes the wicket of Rizwan, who has comfortably looked like Pakistan's most dangerous batter so far.

    The shorter ball gets Rizwan out, a top edge gifts De Kock with an easy grab. That is a massive wicket for South Africa.

  16. Carlos Brathwaite
    Ex-West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    If you get six off the first ball, you want to make sure you take 10 off the over at least. So to just get one single from the last five balls isn't enough to put Maharaj under pressure.

    That's where I would like to see Pakistan improve. They don't need to be reckless but keep taking the aggressive option and rotate the strike more.

  17. Pak 84-2

    A good response from Maharaj, conceding just the one single from his remaining five deliveries of that over.

    Having stuck with spin for six straight overs, it is time for a bit of pace in the form of Gerald Coetzee.

  18. Carlos Brathwaite
    Ex-West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Lovely shot. Rizwan loves to slog sweep and he just opens his stance to give himself enough room to free his arms.

    There's no risk in that shot for him. He's now got an early boundary and that puts pressure on the bowler for the rest of the over.

  19. 6 runs

    Pak 83-2

    Shot!

    Excellent from Rizwan, he is looking to attack the spinners and certainly does so here, thumping that over the boundary just wide of deep mid-wicket and into the crowd for the first six of the day.

  20. Pak 77-2

    South Africa are still sticking with spin at both ends so far.

    Seven runs come from Markram's latest over. No boundaries, but a lesser-spotted three.

    No sign of Gerald Coetzee yet. Perhaps they are saving him considering Ngidi's exit from the field earlier.
