An action packed rain curtailed day in Centurion has come to an end. Six wicket-haul from Marco Jansen helped the Proteas bundle Pakistan out for a paltry 237 runs. In reply, South Africa lost 3 wickets inside just 27 runs by the end of the day three.

Abbas' dual blow out South Africa in trouble.
Babar Azam and Saud Shakeel together put on a show as the duo stitched a superb 79-run stand before Babar Azam fell to Marco Jansen on 50 off 85 deliveries. Saud Shakeel then single handedly kept propelling Pakistan as he made a fantastic 84 off 113 balls before being trapped to Marco Jansen.

Jansen ran riot through the Pakistan lineup as Pakistan faltered to the express pace of Jansen and they were all-out for a paltry 237 runs. And they got a slender lead of only 147 runs.

In reply, South Africa fell to the express pace of Mohammad Abbas and Khurram Shahzad. At first, Abbas pinned Tony de Zorzi for a LBW.

And then Khurram Shahzad too trapped Ryan Rickelton for a five-ball duck. Mohammad Abbas then had Tristan Stubbs for a ten-ball one run. South Africa soon fell to 27-3 runs as South Africa is left needing of 121 runs.
