00:00Wasim Akram into Mike Wendell again it beats him and the keeper taking it above his head
00:08Tremendous bounce and pace for these fast bowlers on this Newlands pitch
00:15Not much to defend here for Pakistan, but tremendous piece of bowling here by Wasim Akram
00:22He and Waka are the kingpins no doubt
00:26If they are going to win this match and they've got a bowl South Africa out for under 114
00:33These are the men that can do it again, this is a bit off the edge down to third man for a single
00:42Very much up to Wasim and Waka. Yes, so not very happy there in the middle both left-handers
00:49Gary Kirsten and Mike Wendell
00:52This delivery once again rearing up to the batsman
00:56bit of awkward bounce there and
00:58Wendell does well to keep it down
01:12On the leg side, I think it just flicked the pad because there was a noise
01:20Wasim attacking right from the word go
01:26Quite disturbing for the opening batsman
01:34It's a cloud cover plenty of movement
01:39As the Sun has slipped away again behind a cloud
01:42Plenty of heavy crowd over the mountain the mountain is in close proximity
01:47to this ground
01:50One down to find egg Gary Kirsten
01:56See the heavy cloud
02:04Misty conditions
02:07But the rain has stayed away so far after ruining all the fun yesterday and there was no play possible
02:14He
02:18Was well left by the batsman went straight over the stumps, but on bounce he let that one go through
02:28Once again, but he could deliver there
02:37Rashid the thief makes a lot of ground to his right to get that ball into his clubs
02:45Hello, no ball called a nice to play it away through mid-wicket by Mike Wendell and this will go to the boundary
02:56As in hands his head because he knows that every boundary is absolutely crucial when you're defending such a low score as
03:05114
03:09Well, no ball called my goodness me he was miles behind
03:15But did he go too wide that's what's got to be looked at because he likes to go wide on occasions
03:23And was him is having a bit of an argument there with Cyril Mitchley
03:28Now did he go too wide or not?
03:30this
03:32football on the line
03:34I
03:40Shots of catch it, but I think like Gary Kirsner it was off the midriff
03:46So another very taxing over eight for no wicked
04:04You
04:24Very nasty delivery there
04:26I
04:30Might be more than just the one leg by here
04:32One that gets around quickly hesitation as to whether they should go for a second or not the side against
04:48Down the left side of the high pad
04:51To the long leg region where Shida are freely substituting for Mohammed Basim
05:09So kwama is
05:12Probably Pakistan's leading cricketing journalist. You must be very disappointed that the at the batting performance
05:18It's indeed throughout from the start of this tour. In fact, Pakistan's batting never really took off
05:25They batted in patches and poorly not only against South Africa, but also against the barber
05:36a lot was
05:38expected by men like Syed Anwar Amish, so how
05:42Ajaz Ahmed and especially in zaman will help
05:46They had a share of injuries, but they never really batted well in the series
05:54Admittedly conditions were tough today
05:59Hansi, Konya winning the toss was able to get Pakistan into bat when there was plenty of assistance for his seen bowlers
06:08Yes
06:09Different conditions, but not much different from what is in Pakistan
06:15I
06:19Place it back and does well to keep it down. Got a question
06:25As that hit high up on the splice of the bat an indication that there's still plenty there for the scene bowlers
06:36So now if we're gonna have the work cut out even just to get this small target of 115
06:42And if the good bowling is backed up by nice fielding like that from Moustak Ahmed who makes South Africa's task even harder
06:52Little much dark dives to his right good fielder in any position which dark very experienced cricketer
07:00So
07:10So five valve is gone just 13 on as him to continue
07:16Kirsten just look out that one took off
07:29Once again
07:31Superb delivery there by Wasim Akram
07:35And I think was in was playing wasn't he Kwame on that infamous day here when?
07:40Pakistan were bowled out for 43 by West Indies
07:45And we saw a number of deliveries taking off like that. In fact, it was a venomous pitch
07:49Yes in the triangular series in 1993
07:53The lowest total ever by any team in one day international Pakistan were bowled out for 43
07:59and
08:01In reply Western is about 24 for wonder if Pakistan had made hundred runs, but it would have happened there
08:16This is down to third man, I see controlled shot by Kirsten for the single
08:29Is
08:31That by far the lowest total
08:34here at Newlands and
08:37114 made today by Pakistan the second lowest here
08:45It's called a wide even though the batsmen went chasing after it
08:51and
08:52The highest total ever here at Newlands suppose is 245
08:59Also
09:01Very important, of course whether it's a day or day night game because at night here at Newlands of all certainly swings around a lot
09:12It has even though this is a day game because of the moist conditions that we've had over the past few days
09:22But even
09:24In the best part of the month like February
09:27Best part of the year February March
09:31At night the ball swings around a lot here at Newlands. So that's why you don't often get very big totals
09:45It's well left
09:49Certainly
09:51They can
09:53Afford to leave deliveries it soon to the wicketkeeper because they're in no hurry to have to get these runs
10:01High arm action
10:03Not much movement of the pitch on that delivery this might well be the last ball before lunch
10:11Played away
10:13Hind Khan does well diving for that one
10:16and
10:18They get a single and indeed they will now go to lunch. So
10:23Gary Kirsten and Mike Wendell have done rather well
10:27The attack of Wasim Akram and Walker Eunice on a responsive pitch in the period before lunch and in pursuit of one
10:38Firstly South Africa don't have to be in too much of a hurry, but you saw that last delivery there. There's still
10:44Lateral movement off this pitch three calls. Yes. No and wait not. Yes. No, sorry
10:53It's the guide from Kirsten
10:59It's very ill and can't make it to the cricket he wanted to come here today
11:06If you're watching Colin
11:09The message is wish you were here and get better soon
11:14Thank you
11:17The message is wish you were here and get better soon
11:22Press boys at this end will tell you it's
11:27It's quite chilly the wind sort of
11:33It's good shot from Kirsten that's
11:37The left of gully as it were and never ever any doubt
11:41The
11:44Way cries of catch it because it wasn't hit all that well pretty high up on the bat
11:49But it's got over moustache and square leg
11:52two more to rental
11:56Splice lucky to get it away
12:0052 for no wicket Pakistan will be
12:04Almost starting to give up
12:12I
12:17Was only one thing that I didn't like about his umpiring and that was when he gave best one out
12:21He really wagged his finger at them as if he really enjoyed giving you up
12:29Interesting statistic that these two seven times
12:33Oh
12:35Now the noble from the other side
12:39Akram says something that whips his head round
12:42South Africa now have lost their first wicket and who should it fall to?
12:47That was in Akram
12:49You
12:56Always prepared to try something different coming around the wicket angling it across the left-hander and my friend who's really really his concentration hasn't been
13:05Quite there throughout his innings
13:08Eventually dabbles outside the off stump and the catch for Russia
13:1420 just two boundaries in that score
13:20And
13:25Chuck Cullis has had a very good series
13:28You know all 200 in one day internationals in virtually 40
13:35This series so far 239 runs in school an average of 59.9 so right on
13:4460 in three wickets and a few catches as well
13:50Fantastic performance. It's worldwide. It's more than anybody else in the world and second his compatriot
13:57Might be in this 281
13:59one way behind
14:01You
14:17Wimble the man out was in continues real holding back
14:28This might just be last over
14:31I
14:40Had almost cut him in half
14:48Swinging down the big side once it had gone past the next dump it started to swing the other way again through to Russia the tip
15:02I
15:08Mean about the key now was a macro is going to continue so it looks as though they might well on the championships
15:22I'm a see macro played only a couple of matches there
15:25Last summer because of the shoulder injury when he was called it was for putting his foot on the sideline
15:31Please going too wide
15:46Squeezed out by sharp colors for a single just backward a square
16:02And go down to third man again by Gary Kirsten
16:15He knows that he's fighting a losing battle
16:20Was him starts his last over going round the wicket to the right hander Jacques colors
16:27Will add up to season for the boys
16:32And if and the fully deserve it
16:40Well at three point eight two runs conceded per over
16:44He's is the best in fourth best in world cricket
16:48behind Kirtley Ambrose the great West Indian Angus Fraser the British
16:53fast bowler and Gavin Larson the medium pacer from New Zealand
17:01As a current players we talking it
17:08Down to third man for a single
