Pakistan Vs South Africa LIVE Score, 2nd ODI: Hosts Lose Three Wickets Early; Salman, Saim At Crease | PAK 58/3 (16)

With just 14 runs coming in the last five overs, the Pakistani batters are really struggling to get going in what looks like a decent batting pitch in Faisalabad. Saim ends the over with a boundary after 25 balls, but the run rate as dropped to almost three-and-half.

After a frustrating start, Saim frees his arms to pull a shorter delivery from Bosch over the line for the first boundary in 20 deliveries for Pakistan. He hits another one in the 10th over to close the first Powerplay at 41. However, it has been a decent spell from the Proteas bowlers, with the run rate just over four-an-over.

No Babar special in Faisalabad today! A terrific delivery from Burger, and Babar feathers it for a good catch by Ferreira at first slip. Mohammad Rizwan is the new batter, and he opens his account with a boundary towards the on-side.

And... he's gone too!! What an over this is turning out to be for Burger. Another shorter delivery does the trick, and the bottom edge takes it to the leg stumps. Salman Ali Agha is the new batter.

Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub are Pakistan's opening pair, and Nandre Burger has the new ball for South Africa. And... he strikes immediately!! Fakhar goes for a three-ball duck. A very good catch by de Kock, and the Pakistani batter – despite being frustrated – walks back to the pavilion. Babar Azam is the new batter, who gets off the mark immediately.
