9:12 AM IST That concludes a commanding performance from Pakistan, who secure a dominant victory in the 1st Test to take a crucial lead in the series. The focus now shifts to the 2nd Test between these two sides, with the action set to resume on Monday, October 20th, at 5 am GMT. Be sure to join us for all the early pitch report and team news build-up. Until next time, it's goodbye from us. Cheers!
9:08 AM IST Shan Masood, the captain of Pakistan, starts by crediting the Proteas' effort, adds that they came back a lot of times in the game, but appreciates how his bowlers bowled today. Admits they have played in more docile conditions and have produced plenty of exceptional seamers. Reckons there are plenty of encouraging signs with the squad they have. Tells they are happy to start off with a win and that too against the reigning champions.
9:09 AM IST Aiden Markram, the skipper of South Africa, says there were good moments in the past few days but they have to learn from this game and come back stronger. Mentions there were a few moments where they could have capitalized, and feels they could have done better in the first innings. Admits Senuran Muthusamy works hard behind the scenes and is reaping rewards. Reckons they have a nice, balanced team, but will see how the pitch is in the next game and change accordingly.
9:02 AM IST Noman Ali wins the PLAYER OF THE MATCH AWARD. He says he changed his tactics depending on the batter or the situation. Tells he bowls according to the conditions and tries to stay consistent with the line and length. Mentions he has been working hard for the past 6-8 months. Feels Dewald Brevis' wicket was important and he celebrated because it was his 10th wicket in the game.
8:52 AM IST ...Presentation...
8:52 AM IST Pakistan continued with their dominance at the start of Day 4 as well. The speedster Shaheen Afridi struck with the third ball of the day, trapping Tony de Zorzi plumb to give Pakistan the early advantage. Spinner Noman Ali then joined the party, quickly removing Tristan Stubbs. A scintillating counter-attack by young Dewald Brevis, who hammered a quick-fire 54, offered a glimmer of hope for South Africa, only for Noman Ali to castle him just when he looked dangerous. The final nail in the coffin came from Sajid Khan right before lunch, ending Ryan Rickelton's gritty 45. South Africa were reeling at 137/6 at the end of the morning session. However, with the loss of their top order, it was a matter of when the innings folded rather than if. South Africa showed glimpses of staying in the game but lost the crucial moments.
8:50 AM IST Despite decent starts from Babar Azam and others, Pakistan folded for a low score of 167, having set South Africa an achievable chase of 277 runs to win the Test. Coming to chase 277 at the end of Day 3, left-arm spinner Noman Ali picked two crucial wickets of Aiden Markram and Wiaan Mulder early on, leaving the visitors in a precarious position at 18/2.
8:49 AM IST However, the momentum proved fleeting and utterly reversible. Pakistan’s second innings was a spectacular disaster. It was a classic example of how quickly a cricket match can turn. The South African spinners, fresh off their first-innings success, were simply irresistible. The familiar face of Senuran Muthusamy proved to be the chief executioner once more, bagging an astonishing 5/57 to complete a phenomenal 10-wicket match haul. With solid support from Simon Harmer (4/51), the batting line-up dissolved in a sensational collapse, losing five wickets for just 17 runs in the final session of the Moving Day.
8:48 AM IST Crucially, though, Pakistan's own spin twins, led by Noman Ali with his six wickets, hit back hard, dismantling the South African line-up, which revolved around Tony de Zorzi's superb century. This effort secured a crucial 109-run first-innings lead, putting Pakistan firmly in the driver's seat.
8:48 AM IST This Test match has been a rollercoaster ride for Pakistan. They started with promise, posting 378 in the first innings, despite the heartbreak of both Imam-ul-Haq and Salman Agha missing well-deserved centuries. The innings ended in a rush of blood, largely thanks to a spectacular first-innings collapse orchestrated by South Africa's spinner Senuran Muthusamy with his six wickets!
8:47 AM IST Shaheen Afridi's exceptional performance today was a highlight, despite the spinners' dominance. Shan Masood's surprise decision to start with Afridi set the tone, and he delivered, bowling with pace and aggression. His four-wicket haul helped Pakistan take the lead, making him a key factor in the home team's dominance. Well, that was about today. Let's recap how the game unfolded right from the start.
8:44 AM IST The reigning World Test Champions, South Africa, start the new cycle on the wrong note. An exceptional performance from Pakistan have outdone the Proteas. On a rank-turner, their spinners stepped up. Noman Ali, particularly, showed what consistency can do. A 10-wicket haul has helped Pakistan go 1-0 up in the 2-match series.

7:31 AM IST ... DAY 4, SESSION 2 ...
7:11 AM IST South Africa began Day 4 with momentum, courtesy of Tony de Zorzi and Ryan Rickelton's solid conclusion to Day 3. However, 'The Eagle', Shaheen Afridi struck early, removing de Zorzi in the first over. Wiaan Mulder and Tristan Stubbs soon followed. Dewald Brevis's aggressive approach put Pakistan under pressure, and he and Rickelton batted well to revive the chase. However, Noman Ali's exceptional delivery and Sajid Khan's subsequent wicket have swung the game in Pakistan's favor, removing Brevis and Rickelton respectively. Join us for what could be the final session of the game.
7:07 AM IST A dramatic session has concluded, with Pakistan emerging stronger. Every over was eventful, and the hosts are walking away with their heads held high. The crucial wickets of Ryan Rickelton and Dewald Brevis have shifted the balance in Pakistan's favor, making them favorites to clinch the game. They require just four more wickets, while South Africa needs 140 runs to win.

4:51 AM IST PITCH REPORT - Ramiz Raja is pitchside. He says that the pitch wasn't great even on Day 1, and now the cracks have made it more challenging. He adds that the spinners will be getting turn, bounce, and variation, making it a guessing game. Raja ends by saying that the batters should play off the back foot, as the pitch lacks pace.
4:00 AM IST All the drama and tension of Test cricket are perfectly poised for today. With a full day's play ahead and a result certain, every ball, every run, and every wicket will be fiercely contested.  Which side will come out on top? We shall find out soon...
4:00 AM IST As we begin the penultimate day, the equation is simple, South Africa needs 226 runs to win with 8 wickets in hand, while Pakistan requires those 8 wickets to seal a victory. The pitch has offered plenty of assistance to the spinners throughout, and the morning session will be absolutely crucial. If De Zorzi and Rickelton can weather the early storm, the pressure will begin to mount on the bowling side.
3:59 AM IST The Proteas' run chase got off to a rocky start, however, with left-arm spinner Nauman Ali striking twice to remove Aiden Markram and Wiaan Mulder cheaply. This left the visitors in a precarious position at 18/2. Yet, the resilience shown by Tony de Zorzi, who anchored the innings with a defiant presence, alongside Ryan Rickelton, ensures that South Africa still holds hope. Their unbroken 33-run partnership has brought stability to a nervous dressing room.
3:58 AM IST Welcome back for what promises to be a thrilling Day 4 of this fascinating Test match! Yesterday truly lived up to its 'moving day' name, with wickets tumbling and the pendulum swinging wildly. South Africa, having been bowled out in the morning despite Tony de Zorzi's superb century, fought back brilliantly with the ball, restricting Pakistan to a modest second-innings total of 167. This set up a challenging chase of 277.
3:57 AM IST ...DAY 4, SESSION 1...
12:19 PM IST South Africa's bowlers sparked a collapse, with Simon Harmer dismissing Mohammad Rizwan in the first over. Salman Agha's resistance wasn't enough to stem the tide, as the tail struggled against quality bowling. However, the star of the show was Senuran Muthusamy, who ended with five wickets, single-handedly getting his team back in the game. South Africa lost Aiden Markram and Wiaan Mulder for not much but Ryan Rickelton and Tony de Zorzi have fought well to end the day on a high. Can they stretch their innings and make things hard for Pakistan or will the hosts' spinners turn things around? Do join us for the action on Day 4 at 5 am GMT. Join us earlier for the build up. Cheers!
12:16 PM IST Pakistan had an ample amount of lead before they started their innings but lost Imam-ul-Haq and Shan Masood put them on the back foot early on. However, made significant progress in the first half of the post-lunch session, accumulating runs and losing only one wicket. Babar Azam and Saud Shakeel showed remarkable resilience, skillfully navigating the pressure but things turned around once Kagiso Rabada got rid of Babar Azam.
12:15 PM IST Tony de Zorzi's brilliant century (104) was the highlight of the overnight success South Africa bought into along with the tail but his wicket got Pakistan back into the game. Pakistan's spin bowlers dominated South Africa's lineup, with Noman Ali claiming 6 wickets and Sajid Khan taking 3. Salman Ali Agha added 1 wicket. All 10 South African wickets fell to Pakistan's spinners, showcasing the visitors' struggle on a slow turning track.
12:14 PM IST So, South Africa have lost two wickets but this partnership have helped them end the day well. They need 226 more runs to win, while Pakistan need 8 wickets. Day 3 began with Tony de Zorzi and Senuran Muthusamy at the crease, and concluded with Tony de Zorzi and Ryan Rickelton unbeaten, amidst a flurry of 16 wickets falling in between. Typically dubbed 'the moving day', Day 3 indeed witnessed rapid shifts in momentum. Well, we will explain you everything.
