Overview

• Pakistan posted 378, built on Salman Ali Agha’s 93 and Mohammad Rizwan’s 75, as Senuran Muthusamy claimed a maiden Test 6/117.
• Tony de Zorzi (81 not out) and Ryan Rickelton (71) added 94 for the third wicket before a late slide left South Africa 216/6, 162 adrift.
• Left-arm spinner Noman Ali returned 4/85, removing Aiden Markram, Wiaan Mulder, Tristan Stubbs and Kyle Verreynne to trigger the collapse.
• Every wicket on Day 2 fell to spin, with Sajid Khan and Salman Ali Agha sharing the other Pakistan strikes as TV reviews punctuated tight calls.
• Commentary again drew scrutiny as Ramiz Raja’s on-air quip about Noman Ali’s sunglasses drew criticism a day after his remark about Babar Azam.
