The third day of the second Test match between South Africa and Pakistan is scheduled for January 5. Pakistan has an uphill struggle to mount a comeback after the Proteas have solidly grabbed control of the game after dominating with the bat for more than four periods.
Batting first at Newlands Stadium, Cape Town, South Africa posted a massive total of 615 runs. Ryan Rickelton delivered a stellar knock of 259 off 343 balls, while skipper Temba Bavuma and Kyle Verreynne each scored centuries. Marco Jansen’s quick half-century added the finishing touches to an imposing innings.
In response, Pakistan crumbled under the mounting pressure. By the close of Day 2, they had lost key batters Shan Masood, Kamran Ghulam, and Saud Shakeel, managing only 64 runs. Heading into Day 3, Pakistan faces a daunting deficit of 551 runs and will have to contend with the absence of Saim Ayub, who is unavailable to bat.
