Kwen Maphak, South African Bowling of the Session, delivered the delivery of a seam that held a low and shocking Masood front pad. Judge Norin Menon initially ruled that stumps were missing, but a successful South African examination revealed that he had hit. Masood’s frustration was obvious when he protested with a decision, a rare scene in a commonly composed dough.

Masood’s dismissal marked the highlight Excellent sessions after lunch for South Africa. Kagiso Rabada, money from the other end, explained Saud Shakeel, who put into a permeability. Shakeel’s departure left Pakistan as he wrapped up, but Aghha and Rizwan got on board.

AGHA and RIZWAN resistance of lead

Salman Aghha and Mohammad Rizwan won the determination, stunning South African attack and reducing the deficit. Their partnership was built on patience, rotating strike and punishing a rare loose delivery. AGHA used, in particular, on the neglected Wiaan Mulder line, hitting two boundaries in fast succession to inject the momentum in Pakistan’s Inings.

Maphaka beat him with the beauty that hit the pads, although South Africa opted against the examination. Hawk-Eye later showed that delivery would hit the stumps, a missed opportunity that did not prove too much expensive because Shakeel fell shortly after lunch.

South Africa in control but work remains

While the match moves towards its last phase, South Africa holds an advantage, but cannot afford compatible. Because Rizwan and Aghha show resistance and Pakistan’s tail capable of surprises, visitors are far from capitulation.
