SA vs PAK, 2nd Test Day 3: Captain Shan Masood leads Pakistan fightback with century

The Hindu  

Shan Masood and Babar Azam shared a record opening partnership as Pakistan fought back after conceding a 421-run first innings deficit on the third day of the second Test against at Newlands on Sunday. It also exceeded Pakistan’s first innings total of 194, which prompted South African captain Temba Bavuma to enforce the follow-on. AS IT HAPPENED: SA vs PAK 2nd Test Day 3 It was the second significant partnership of the day for Babar, who was forced to open the batting after Saim Ayub was ruled out of the match with a broken right ankle. Babar and Rizwan resumed at overnight 64 for three and batted comfortably through the first hour, seeing off the threat of Kagiso Rabada and Jansen, South Africa’s premier strike bowlers.
