OUT! Run Out. Shaheen Afridi to Nandre Burger. Reverse Swing-In yorker, off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed to short extra cover, by Khan. That concludes the first innings, with South Africa posting a solid total after choosing to bat first. The openers started well, especially Hendricks, who played a crucial role by scoring 60 runs. Additionally, Linde's quick-fire knock contributed significantly to the team's total. On the other hand, the Pakistan bowlers struggled today, with their performance being quite expensive. However, Mohammad Nawaz delivered a tight spell, taking three wickets, which helped in limiting the visitors' score. Join us for the run chase.
