South Africa picked up two crucial wickets including skipper Shan Masood (145) in the post-Lunch session but an unbeaten 69-run partnership between Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha took away any hopes of the hosts running through Pakistan. The visitors added 86 runs in the session and now only trail by 23 runs. Pakistan are currently 398/5 but are effectively six wickets down with only one wicket remaining for the tail to be exposed.
After Lunch, South Africa got the old ball to reverse through Kwena Maphaka as he got Saud Shakeel to play some loose drives and beat him on the outside edge. Despite this, the hosts took the new ball two overs after it became due and were rewarded almost immediately. Pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada picked up Shakeel as one shaped in with the angle from around the wicket which the batter nicked to second-slip. In the very next over, Maphaka sent back Masood LBW after the hosts asked the third umpire to have a look once Nitin Menon gave it not-out on field. The ball was just struck Masood in line in front of the off-stump and it was straight enough to hit the flush of off-stump.
