Rawalpindi: Pakistan’s first innings in the second Test concluded on Day Two, posting a final total of 333 against South Africa.
The team, resuming from their overnight score, was anchored by Saud Shakeel (66) and Agha Salman (45), who successfully built on the Day One foundation set by skipper Shan Masood (87) and Abdullah Shafique (57).
However, the late momentum was entirely seized by South African spinner Keshav Maharaj.
Delivering a masterful spell, Maharaj claimed a stunning 7-wicket haul, quickly dismantling the final order, including the established pair and the tail Shaheen Afridi (0), Sajid Khan (5), Asif Afridi (4).
South Africa now faces a demanding chase to prevent a series defeat.
