The crucial moment came in the 15th over of Pakistan’s first innings. With the score reading 42 to 1, Bosch received the ball after the break to have a few drinks. His first delivery, a long ball that tipped wide, tempted Masood into a loose shot. A thick outside edge followed and the ball flew towards Marco Jansen in gully, he was not wrong.

A stellar domestic track record from Bosch
Bosch’s Test debut comes after an impressive introduction to international cricket. Having debuted in the ODI format against Pakistan earlier on the same tour, Bosch’s promotion to the Test team highlights his rapid rise through the ranks. The 30-year-old all-rounder was included in the Proteas squad for the tour of Pakistan due to his stellar performances in domestic cricket.
Bosch’s domestic record underlines its credentials as a true all-rounder. In 34 First Class matches, he took 72 wickets and amassed 1,295 runs, including 10 half-centuries. His List A record is equally commendable, with 38 wickets and 547 runs in 32 matches, with three fifties. Bosch’s ability to contribute with both the ball and the bat has made him a valuable addition to the South Africa Test team.
