Rickelton and Bavuma centuries lead South Africa while Pakistan loses injured Ayub

Associated Press  

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Centuries by Ryan Rickelton and captain Temba Bavuma anchored World Test Championship finalist South Africa to an imposing 316-4 against Pakistan in the second test on Friday. South Africa won the first test inside four days at Centurion to reach its first WTC final, and started at Newlands by losing three quick wickets in the latter half of the first session after a promising start of 61. Wiaan Mulder, one of the three changes South Africa made from its Centurion XI, fell to Abbas when the seamer found a thick outside edge, and Salman got Tristan Stubbs caught behind for 0 in his first over. Corbin Bosch was also left out after making a stunning test debut in the first test where he took a wicket with his first ball and made a scintillating unbeaten half-century in the first innings which gave South Africa a match-winning lead of 90 runs.
