South Africa vs Pakistan 2nd Test Day 2 Highlights: Pak Lose 3 After Ryan Rickelton's Marathon 259 Inspires SA

The players are back on the field. 54 overs left in the day, roughly the same amount they faced in the whole of their first innings. Would South Africa be dreaming of a Day 3 finish? Shan Masood and Babar Azam will be out to change that feeling. It will be Kagiso Rabada to start off against Masood.

... THE THIRD INNINGS ...

Critics might blame Rizwan for opening the floodgates with an inexcusable shot, but the batting unit has failed as a whole. Clearly, they have been rattled after spending 5 sessions on the field. The Proteas made full use of that pressure and barring for roughly 2 hours - an hour before Stumps on Day 2 and an hour in the morning on Day 3 - where they might have looked a bit flat, they just blitzkrieged Pakistan away. Kagiso Rabada set the tone, with a 3-fer, while the youngster Kwena Maphaka got 2 on Test debut. Keshav Maharaj must be really thinking of shifting his base to another country like India or Sri Lanka, because if his seamer mates are going to be in this form, he will be just in the team for throwdowns.

A moderate batting display at best from Pakistan. Barring Babar Azam's 58, his second half century in Tests in succession and Mohammad Rizwan's 46, the other 8 contributed only 75 in total. Those two seniors were the only ones to show some fight on a pitch which looked pretty good to bat on. Still looks good. They added 98 for the 4th wicket but after that it was a freefall, as the visitors chose to visit a landslide on a lazy Sunday, with a banana skin for cover. 118/3 to 194/9.

BREAKING NEWS - The bowlers are racing up towards the pavillion and this can mean only one thing. No net session for the batters. SOUTH AFRICA HAVE ENFORCED THE FOLLOWON. It was always a touch-and-go decision, with nearly 8 sessions left in the match and the Proteas having bowled nearly 55 overs. But given the way the bowlers bowled today, I guess Bavuma did not want to snatch any momentum away from them.

OUT! CAUGHT! For a change it is not Bedingham. A length ball, wide outside off, Khurram throws his bat at it. The ball flies in the air, but so does Tristan Stubbs brilliantly at backward point, to his right. Second wicket for Maphaka on debut and PAKISTAN HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 194, TRAILING BY 421!

Gone totally wrong. Perhaps, Maphaka was trying to bowl the slower ball, but ends up bowling it miles outside off. Khurram Shahzad still tries to go after that and misses.

So no fifer for Rabada then. But wonder, looking at this bowling display, will the Proteas be inclined to give the followon? No one seems really tired out there. Unless the batters want another net session. Or sessions. Kwena Maphaka has been given an opportunity to pick up a wicket now. 8-1-43-1 so far. Excellent captaincy from Temba Bavuma, giving the youngster plenty of confidence.

Almost another one! Slower one, full and on off, Abbas almost chips it back to the bowler.

Told ya, it would be fun. Only, did not know at that moment, for whom. Mohammad Abbas is the last man in now, replacing Mir Hamza. Remember, no Saim Ayub.

OUT! CAUGHT! David Bedingham takes a brilliant catch and Mir Hamza's small little cameo comes to an end as Pakistan lose their 8th wicket. Keshav Maharaj slows it up and pulls the length back by a fair bit, on middle and leg. Hamza sees the short length and quickly rocks back to tuck it across. Tries to turn it around past short leg but is undone by the turn. Clips it straight in front of Bedingham at short leg who takes a sharp low catch. Mir Hamza walks back for 13(13) and Pakistan are now 194/8!

Quicker and full, on middle, Mir Hamza tucks it just short of short leg.

Much more air, outside off, fuller in length, just 74 kph, Shahzad drives it through the covers for a single.

Slower through the air, around middle, Khurram looks to work it again, across the line and gets a leading edge, which goes just wide of Maharaj, towards mid off.

Well, this could be fun now, if these two tee off against Maharaj.

Full, down the leg side, Khurram Shahzad works it with soft hands through mid-wicket and gets a couple.

FOUR! Hamza is going after it! Short of a length again but this time, just outside off, Mir Hamza backs away a bit and thrashes it past point for a boundary.

SIX! Well, he connects one and connects very nicely! Back of a length, not a lot of pace behind that delivery from KG. Hamza stands tall and pulls it over mid-wicket for a biggie.

Mir Hamza is not shying away from swinging hard! On a length, just outside off, coming in with the angle, Hamza throws absolutely everything at it but fails to make a connection.

Well, that has actually been played really well. Rabada directs a short ball at the rib cage and Shahzad initially ducks. But then, he realizes that the ball is coming right at his head, as the bounce is not that much. In reflex action, he tries to fend it off and the ball spoons off the bat, just over short leg. A single taken.
