26.3 Mohammad Amir to Dean Elgar
APPEAL! Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Mohammad Amir to Dean Elgar. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot working, hit pad to short leg for no runs, appeal made for L.B.W. Another bruise for Elgar and they want LBW. Not given by S Ravi. Needs must though and after a short discussion with Amir Sarfraz reviews. It's too high though, missing completely and Pakistan have no reviews left now.

25.6 Yasir Shah to Dean Elgar
Yasir Shah to Dean Elgar. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, to short leg for no runs. That's lunch here in Centurion. The score doesn't quite reflect what's happened here this morning, you feel that Pakistan certainly deserve to have more than one South African batsman out for the way they've bowled. Credit to Amla and Elgar though. Amla is battling against a poor run of form and did look scratchy early on, he was of course dropped in the slips by Fakhar Zaman. Elgar is just battling, he's taken a couple of nasty blows and many will feel he should have been given out when Azhar Ali seemed to catch him at first slip. The pair have got their team into a very strong position.
