Corbin Bosch removes Shan Masood off the opening ball of his over to join the elite list

Corbin Bosch joins the elite list after getting the wicket of Pakistan's Skipper Shan Masood off the very first ball of his over in this format. He was bought into the attack after the drinks break. He makes an immediate impact for the hosts after an unlucky first hour of play.

Bosch bowled a full delivery outside off, tempting Shan Masood into a loose drive. Masood, the Pakistan captain, went for the shot but edged the ball thickly. It flew to the gully, where Marco Jansen pulled off an incredible catch. Bosch gave South Africa their first breakthrough, sending Masood back to the pavilion for 17 runs off 58 balls.

We as a nation can still learn so much from our sportsman. After a difficult morning with countless plays and misses for Rabada, Bosch gets a wicket with his first ball in test cricket and he absolutely steams in to congratulate his new teammate. Special players #SAvPAK pic.twitter.com/GhQ0CLPROG
