W Riaz to van der Dussen, A couple to end an over which could have seen both the batsmen back in the hut. Riaz goes full again, Rassie hits it over mid on. The timing is not that great but enough to clear the fielder and two is taken.

W Riaz to D Miller, Another drop! Second life for Miller. Are these signs of today being his day? South Africa will hope so. A short delivery outside off, Miller plays the upper cut but straight towards third man. Amir runs to his left and looks to take it with a slide but spills it. A single taken.

Score162 - 4

S Afridi to van der Dussen, Angles this on the pads from around the wicket. Rassie looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. The ball rolls towards square leg. A leg bye taken. So the plan seems to be clear, van der Dussen will stay there and Miller will go after the bowlers at the moment.

S Afridi to D Miller, On the bounce! Short and on middle, Miller pulls it but it goes on the bounce to deep mid-wicket. A single.

21:44 (IST) Jun 23

DRINKS BREAK. Are we onto something here? Or are we expecting a bit too much? Miller needs to play a blinder and has to get support from van der Dussen, Phehlukwayo and Morris. Pakistan, on the other hand, will be searching for reverse swing and shut this chase off. Shaheen Afridi is back on. 4-0-18-0 so far.
