Standing ovation for Pakistan!
Pakistan did as Pakistan does – taking its fans on another roller-coaster ride. The surrender to India was followed by an incredible fightback against South Africa on Wednesday, where almost all the boxes were ticked.
The bowlers came in for much of the praise.
Great start Pakistan, outstanding bowling form Imad, Hafeez and Hassan. Pakistan must sustain momentum and look to dismiss SA under 200.

David Miller, South Africa’s pillar with the bat, was keen to look ahead.
Not ideal result last night. But no doubt we will bounce back next game. Built immense character over the past 18months. #ProteaFire
