19.1
Markram to Kamran Ghulam, out Kamran Ghulam Run Out!! What was Saim Ayub thinking there? Total brain-melt from him. No wonder Kamran Ghulam is so disappointed. He has a stare at Ayub and seems to ask what the hell was that. Was an easy single as Ghulam pushed it wide of cover, he set off casually expecting Ayub to respond, but when he was halfway down the crease, there was no response much to Ghulam's horror, he watches as Stubbs throws the ball to Klaasen who does the rest. Such a gift for South Africa and what a waste of a wicket for Pakistan to give away. Replays show that Ayub started to take a few steps as he looked to respond and then just stopped. South Africa on top after that wicket. Kamran Ghulam run out (Tristan Stubbs/Klaasen) 4(14)

Markram to Kamran Ghulam, no run, superb one-handed stop to his right by Baartman at backward point, he dives to his right and falls, but gets a lucky bounce, with an outstretched right hand he goes and the ball sticks in his hand, but he throws it well wide of Klaasen, backward square-leg is there though, so no run taken. Baartman's sunglasses seems to be broken as he fell to the ground, he goes to give it off to someone at the end of the over, was short and wide outside off, Kamran Ghulam cuts and he would have wanted runs there, Markram applauds that effort by clapping
