South Africa were penalised five runs for ball tampering and the team will likely be

Law 42.3, which deals with changing the condition of the match ball
  • (d) If the umpires together agree that the deterioration in the condition of the ball is greater than is consistent with the use it has received, they shall consider that there has been a contravention of this Law. They shall:

The incident took place at the start of the 31st over of Pakistan's innings, two overs after tea,

The fourth umpire, Shozab Raza, brought a box of balls onto the field :

and a new one was selected for use.

The last time a player was penalised for changing the condition of the ball was in 2010 :

when Shahid Afridi was banned from two T20s for biting the ball .  ::LOL::

Very disappointing for sure, why risk it in such a commanding position?
Takes some shine off the performance so far (no pun intended).
