The Proteas have managed to get a flurry of wickets at the end to curtail Pakistan’s late surge and keep them under 320.
South Africa have been set a target for victory is 309 runs.
Nearly a run out from the last ball, Shadhab unable to heave Ngidi outside the circle, but the throw isn’t on target and the bowler knocks the bails off with his hand. All told, a solid finish for South Africa, giving up just four in the final over and 21 across the last three. But that takes nothing away from Sohail who along with Imad really did put the foot down through the final stanza.
Fine death bowling, this. Ngidi gave Sohail nothing to hit so he made room to try and make something from nothing, a top edge going high in the air to de Kock. The end of a fantastic innings, his 89 coming in 59 balls, three times clearing the ropes. One ball to come.
