 Pak 167-4 (35 ovs) vs SA | Scorecard

De Villiers is find some rhythm with the ball as he bowls a tight fifth over, and despite being hit for a four by Misbah he concedes just six runs in the 31st over.

In the next over, Abbott leaves Pakistan in a bit of trouble with the wicket of Maqsood for eight. That was easy catching practice for Rossouw at backward point as Maqsood slices a straight to him. An important wicket for South Africa with the Powerplay overs approaching.

De Villiers is racing through his overs. Umar Akmal wastes no time as he flicks the second ball he faces over midwicket for a four as eight come from the over. AB has taken one for 43 in six overs and done a reasonable job in finishing up the quota of the fifth bowler.

Akmal is beaten by the quicker delivery from Tahir as he looks to pull a short ball but is foxed by the quicker one, getting an inside edge which goes on to his pads. He pulls the fifth ball but gets only a single for the only run of the over.

After 35 overs, Pakistan have reached 167 for four with Misbah on 37 and Akmal on eight.
