South Africa vs Pakistan 2nd Test, Day 4 Live Score

Wiaan Mulder to Mohammad Rizwan, BEATEN! Goes fuller, outside off, inviting the drive, shaping away a little bit, Mohammad Rizwan goes for the drive and gets beaten on the outside edge.

Wiaan Mulder to Mohammad Rizwan, On a good length, around off, from over the stumps, Mohammad Rizwan defends it back to the bowler off the front foot.

Marco Jansen to Mohammad Rizwan, Short one again, over off, Rizwan is very strong on the leg side and nails the pull all along the ground to deep mid-wicket for one more.

Marco Jansen to Mohammad Rizwan, Short and on off, Rizwan lifts his front leg up and pulls it to deep square leg for a single.

Marco Jansen to Mohammad Rizwan, Full outside off, going away, Mohammad Rizwan drives it off the front foot wide of cover and takes a couple of runs. Kwena Maphaka runs in from sweeper cover and picks up the ball to throw at the keeper's end.

Marco Jansen to Mohammad Rizwan, Good length, around off and middle, from around the wicket, coming in with the angle, Mohammad Rizwan defends it off the front foot back to the bowler.

The pitch is becoming more difficult to bat now. The ball is not quite coming onto the bat and driving is very tedious. Need to play the ball as late as possible from here on.

Wiaan Mulder to Salman Agha, Confident block! Length, on off, Salman leans ahead and keeps it out.

Wiaan Mulder to Salman Agha, Goes full and outside off, Salman Agha looks to drive it on the up but miscues it off the inner half to the leg side. 

Wiaan Mulder to Salman Agha, On a length, on middle and leg, clipped to mid on by Salman.

Wiaan Mulder to Salman Agha, More lateral movement, tailing in, Salman Agha just about manages to keep it out, via an inside edge onto his pads.

Close, close, close! Wiaan Mulder has got one to jag back in and Rizwan seems to be in trouble here. Temba Bavuma has gone with his bowler and taken it upstairs for a review against LBW. Replay indicates two noises but nothing on UltraEdge. Ohhh... umpire's call on hitting on Ball Tracking!

Wiaan Mulder to Mohammad Rizwan, Umpire's call saves Rizwan! On a good length, outside off, Mohammad looked to defend but the ball literally snaked back in a long way. Rizwan was caught napping against the movement and missed his defence by a long margin, getting hit on the pads. Mulder appealed but umpire Kumar Dharmasena was motionless. Mulder straightaway pushed his skipper Bavuma to take the review and Ball Tracking shows the ball clipping the outer half of leg stump, meaning umpire's call will stay! South Africa retain their review but they would be wondering, what will it take for Dharmasena to raise his finger? Seems like Mulder is telling the Sri Lankan the same thing. Meanwhile, a single seems to have been taken because a leg bye has been signalled.

Wiaan Mulder to Mohammad Rizwan, On a good length, just around off, Mohammad Rizwan hops and pushes it towards mid on.

Marco Jansen to Salman Agha, Short one, angling into the batter, over leg, Salman ducks below it.

Marco Jansen to Mohammad Rizwan, A short ball now, pulled through square leg for a single.

Marco Jansen to Mohammad Rizwan, On a good length, around off, Mohammad Rizwan hops and defends. It looks so ugly but for now, seems to be effective.

Wiaan Mulder to Salman Agha, Full and on off, blocked confidently by Agha.

Wiaan Mulder to Mohammad Rizwan, Short of a length, on middle and off, Rizwan tucks it to deep square leg for a single.

Wiaan Mulder to Mohammad Rizwan, So nearly chopped it back onto the stumps! Fuller in length and on off, Mohammad Rizwan pushes at it with hard hands and gets an inside edge that falls just past the leg stump and rolls behind to fine leg for a couple of runs. 

Issue? Yes, for Mohammad Rizwan. There is a secutiry guard sitting right near the sightscreen and his constsnt shuffling is irritating Rizwan. Add to it, the fluoroscent colour of the guard's clothes is making it difficult for Rizwan to concentrate. He tells this to the umpire but also says, 'It is okay now. If he doesn't move, then it is fine. But if he moves, please ask him to sit somewhere else.'

Wiaan Mulder to Mohammad Rizwan, Full and straight, Mohammad Rizwan is solid in defense. Not great to watch, but solid nevertheless.

Wiaan Mulder to Salman Agha, A bit too straight, Agha nurdles it behind square leg for a single.

Wiaan Mulder to Salman Agha, On a good length, around off, Salman Agha defends.

DRINKS BREAK. Excellent hour for South Africa. They have dislodged both the set batters, Masood and Shakeel and conceded just 40 runs in 13 overs since Lunch. The second new ball is clearly talking, much more than the first new ball did yesterday, stopping to move after just 5 overs. The home side knows that it is just a wicket away from the lower order and will be aiming to wrap it up soon now. Pakistan have their backs against the wall again but having come so far, they will not want to throw it away. They are just 69 runs away from making South Africa bat but while that cannot be the only aim, the focus should be to get at least 450 from here. Definitely it won't be enough but to fight so hard and still lose by an innings would be worse. On the other hand, if Agha and Rizwan manage to see off this second new ball, could we see some more fightback from the tourists? 49 overs are left in the day, so Day 5 looks very close to impossible from here on. Wiaan Mulder has been given the ball now, after being in the wilderness for most of this match. 5-0-16-0 so far.

Marco Jansen to Mohammad Rizwan, Good length, on middle and off, blocked straight by Rizwan.

Marco Jansen to Mohammad Rizwan, Nearly! Angles it away, off a length and around the fifth stump line. Mohammad Rizwan doesn't fully commit to the shot and leans ahead to have a push at it but misses. The ball whizzes past the outside edge and carries at a good height to the keeper. 

Marco Jansen to Salman Agha, With a leg slip in play, Jansen bowls it straight at the stumps, on a length, Salman Agha taps it in front of cover and gets to the other end. 

Marco Jansen to Mohammad Rizwan, Down the leg side, Rizwan looks to tuck it away but misses. The ball goes off his pads through square leg and a leg bye is taken. 

Marco Jansen to Salman Agha, Fuller and straighter. Salman Agha works it through mid-wicket and takes the single. Wants the second but is sent back. Wise decision, because Corbin Bosch, the substitute for Ryan Rickelton, scores a direct hit at the bowler's end! 350 UP FOR PAKISTAN. 9th highest score by a visiting team in South Africa, in the third innings. The deficit is now 71.

Marco Jansen to Mohammad Rizwan, A short ball, down the leg side, Mohammad Rizwan pulls it all along the ground towards fine leg for a single.

Interesting scenes around the review. When Bavuma came in to ask his players, Kyle Verreynne, who has already been proved wrong twice today, said he did not know anything about this. One reckons that Bavuma will not look at him for a while now! Marco Jansen was seen warming up in the previous over. Would he be given the ball now? Yes. 16-0-74-2 so far.

Kagiso Rabada to Mohammad Rizwan, Full and on off, Mohammad Rizwan leans on to block and gets an outside edge to deep backward point for one. Pakistan now trail by 73 runs.

Kagiso Rabada to Mohammad Rizwan, Length, outside off, Rizwan holds his bat very high and lets it pass. 

Kagiso Rabada to Mohammad Rizwan, Full, at the stumps, Rizwan gets his bat out in front and blocks it to mid on.

Kagiso Rabada to Salman Agha, Fuller, outside off, this time Agha comes forward, gets across his stumps and pushes the ball through cover-point for a single.

Kagiso Rabada to Salman Agha, Ooohh... so near, yet so far! This could have gone either way. On a good length, outside off, this one jagged back in a long way and hit Salman on his pads, as he looked to defend. Rabada appealed for LBW but umpire Kumar Dharmasena did not give it out. Rabada managed to convince Bavuma to take the review. Once the review was taken, Rabada immediately asked Dharmasena as to why didn't he give it out. The reply was height. Ball Tracking shows the impact to be umpire's call and just clipping the top of the stumps as well. So umpire's call on both counts. Review retained.

Kagiso Rabada to Salman Agha, On a good length, outside off, coming in, Salman Agha defends.

Kwena Maphaka to Salman Agha, Goes fuller, outside off, Salman Agha taps it wide of point and takes a single to retain the strike.

Kwena Maphaka to Mohammad Rizwan, Too much risk for a run again by Pakistani batters! Back of a length, outside off, from around the stumps, Mohammad Rizwan cuts it off the back foot wide of deep point. He calls for the second and runs off. The fielder in the deep is quick enough to throw the ball at the keeper who dislodges the stumps. Rizwan comes in, just in time. 

Kwena Maphaka to Salman Agha, Fuller, outside off, Salman Agha leans and drives it behind point for a run.

Kwena Maphaka to Mohammad Rizwan, Outside off, steered behind point for a single.

Kwena Maphaka to Mohammad Rizwan, On a good length, around off, nips back in sharply from around the wicket, Mohammad Rizwan is caught cramping for room as he looks to defend and takes it on the body.

Just stumbled upon a stat which may not be taken a liking to, by Pakistan or their fans. This is just the second time that Pakistan have crossed the 300-mark in the third innings of a Test in South Africa. However, in the previous 25 instances of a visiting team crossing 300 in the third innings of a Test in this country, only 10 have resulted in victories! England have done it 6 times, while Australia have done it 4 times. Shows how difficult it is to win in South Africa.
