The South African Republic insisted on two major inspectors before the fourth day, strengthening the grip on the test game, but Pakistan’s subordinate battle continued to hunt visitors. The 69 partnerships between Salman Agha and Mohammad Rizwan brought Pakistan in 16 games to avoid the innings defeat and set the stage of the Grip Finale.
Masood’s marathon ends with a debate
Shan Masood’s brave knock ended in a controversial way over 368 minutes. Kwena Maphaka, a prominent bowling player in South Africa, struck Masood’s front pads by providing Seaming Delivery. The referee Nitin Menon first lost the stump, but according to South Africa’s successful review, it was found to hit it. Masood’s frustration was clear as he protested the decision.
Masood’s dismissal showed the peak Lunch session for excellent for South Africa. At the other end, Kagiso Rabada described Saud Shakeel. Shakeel’s departure left Pakistan’s reel, but Agha and Rizwan steadily steadily.
Agawa Liz Wando Resistance
Salman Agha and Mohammad Rizwan showed their determination to imitate South Africa’s attacks and reduce their deficits. Their partnership was patient, and the strike rotated the strike and punished a rare loose delivery. In particular, AGHA used the line of Wiaan Muter, which quickly struck two boundaries to inject momentum into Pakistan’s innings.
As the ball was shining and the pitch was inconsistent, the bowling players in South Africa worked hard. Keshav Maharaj, which rarely stops through the morning session, continued to threaten the flight and the transformation of flight and face, but the ticket gate was mainly falling to Pacus.
Morning Session: South Africa enters early
In the morning, Marco Jansen deliveres the delivery delivered to Maharaj. Kagiso Rabada created a radiant moment to clean the Kamran Ghulam, and the delivery that can be rooted and the middle stumps has been rapidly overturned.
Rabada’s ticket gate showed the 50th test scalp in New Land. Despite his success, South Africa Quick had a mixed morning and admitted to running through disciplinary action, including four no balls.
Pakistan’s Saud Shakeel provided resistance with Masood, but his stay was almost damaged by Miss. South Africa opposed the review, but MAMAPHA beat him with the beauty of the pad. Hawk-Eye later showed that delivery would have hit the stump.
South Africa is controlled, but the work still remains
As the economy heads to the final stage, South Africa has an advantage but not satisfactory. As Rizwan and Agha can surprise their elasticity and Pakistan’s tail, visitors are far from movements.
Protay will quickly finish innings after the car and avoid tricky pursuit from wearing pitch. In Pakistan, survival remains a major goal as South Africa fights to hit again.
The drama of the test cricket is alive, well, and when the action resumes, all eyes will be in New Land.
