49.1
Ngidi to Fakhar Zaman, out Fakhar Zaman Run Out!! 1 run completed. He's gone to a run out! What a tragedy!! Probably the only way he would have gotten out you thought. Slower ball, Zaman pumped it hard to long-off and wanted the second run. There was a slight stutter and it's a direct hit at the keeper's end. Zaman is well short. He didn't expect such a good throw at his end. What an anti-climax!! It's been one heck of a knock. From nowhere, literally nowhere, he brought them this far. de Kock fooled him there, he pointed as though the throw was going to the bowler's end which made Zaman stutter and look back, but Markram had gone to the striker's end and de Kock just let it hit the stumps, catching Zaman unaware. Fakhar Zaman run out (Markram) 193(155) [4s-18 6s-10]

45.5
Ngidi to Fakhar Zaman, 2 runs, sloppy stuff this! Was a slower ball, bounced extra and Zaman got an edge towards short third man. Should only have been a single but the throw to the keeper's end is very wayward and nobody is backing up. The batsmen sneak the second as well

45.2
Ngidi to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, over mid-off this time! Slower ball from Ngidi, Zaman has read it early and waits for a second longer before lofting cleanly straight down the ground. Pressure on Ngidi!!
