SA vs PAK, 2nd Test, South Africa v Pakistan Test Series 2018/19, 3 Jan 2019

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.
