Pakistan vs South Africa Live Cricket Rating, 2nd Test Day 2 (Pakistan National Cricket Team vs South Africa National Cricket Team): Captain Shan Masood and Abdullah Shafique overcame 4 dropped catches to attain half-centuries, leading Pakistan to 259 for five against world champion South Africa on the opening day of the second and final test on Monday. Masood, who was dropped at 71, collected most of his runs through singles before being dismissed for 87 off 176 balls in the ultimate session on a dry wicket expected to increasingly favour the spinners.
Kagiso Rabada must have had Shafique out together with his fourth ball of the test match but had to attend until late in the primary day to assert his first wicket, trapping Mohammad Rizwan (19) lbw on the backfoot. Left-hander Saud Shakeel was batting on 42, and Salman Ali Agha remained not out on 10 at stumps as South Africa managed just one wicket with the second latest ball late on Day 1.
