OUT! Caught. Dale Steyn to Shaheen Afridi. Short, to leg swayed away, Gloved in the air uncontrolled to wicketkeeper, by de Kock. That's flicked the glove and that's out. Shaheen trying to sway out of the way couldn't keep his hands down and de Kock takes an easy catch. That brings to an end the session and Pakistan's first innings. Everything has fallen into place perfectly for South Africa, the four seamers justified their selection. Once again it was Olivier who led from the front taking four wickets to add to his 11 from Centurion.

OUT! Caught. Kagiso Rabada to Shaheen Afridi. Short, down leg side backing away Slog, mis-timed to mid wicket, by Philander. The fun is over. Slogged into the midwicket sky and Philander clings on. There's some debate about taking the extra half hour with 41 required to win. It's been decided we're all coming back tomorrow.
Pakistan have fought well with the bat all day with stellar contributions from Shan Masood, Asad Shafiq and Babar Azam. They were too far behind on the first innings to cause South Africa any real worries about the runchase and will no doubt go 2-0 down some time tomorrow morning. Join us then.

Dale Steyn to Shaheen Afridi. Short, down leg side ducked, hit helmet to short extra cover for no runs, fielded by Bavuma. Afridi has ducked into it and worn one right on the badge. There are five minutes of scheduled play left tonight. This will probably ensure there is no prospect of the extra half hour being taken.

FOUR! Azhar Ali to Dean Elgar. Back of a length, down leg side on the front foot pulling, well timed past fine leg for 4 runs.
Way down the leg side and pulled around the corner to the fence. South Africa take the win by nine wickets and it has been a completely dominant three and a bit days for them. With that win they also take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.
Dean Elgar battled hard this morning with the ball nibbling around and some even taking off, Hashim Amla felt the full force of one of the deliveries on his arm. That and the Aiden Markram injury will be the only thing worrying South Africa as their performance with both bat and ball was exemplary. Pakistan on the other hand haven't had the best of times with bat in hand and they might decide to make a change or two. Do join us on the 11th for the third and final Test at Johannesburg.
FOUR! Azhar Ali to Dean Elgar. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past long on for 4 runs. Drilled back over Azhar Ali's head. Elgar is not going to let the part-timer settle.

APPEAL! Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Mohammad Abbas to Dean Elgar. Short, outside off stump on the back foot, Left to wicketkeeper for no runs, by Ahmed, appeal made for Caught.

Mohammad Amir to Hashim Amla. Seaming in length ball, to leg on the front foot, hit body to short leg for no runs, fielded by Khan. Wow! What a delivery from Amir. On a length but it hits a crack and takes off, striking Amla on the back bicep. South Africa will want to get this game over very quickly before too many of these deliveries appear.
Amla is going off, that must have hurt quite a lot to make Amla retire hurt.
