Pakistan’s heroic stand to save the Test

Pakistan were in a grim situation at the beginning of the match with South Africa adding a mammoth 615 runs in their first innings with a double-century from Ryan Rickelton and a ton from captain Temba Bavuma and Kyle Verreynne. In response, Pakistan were bowled out in their first innings on 194 runs enforcing a follow-on.

Pakistan were desperate to score runs on the board to save the Test match, and the openers got the second innings off to a solid start. Skipper Masood provided stability to the Pakistani innings for a long time and put together a heroic stand in front of South African pacers. Masood scored 145 runs off 251 balls before Kwena Maphaka took his wicket in the 84th over of the innings. Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha are currently on the crease for Pakistan trying to outmatch the South African first innings total and somehow save the Test match.
