PAK vs SA Highlights, 1st Test Match Day 2: South Africa 216/6 at stumps, trail by 162 runs against Pakistan

PAK vs SA Live Score, 1st Test Match Day 2: Pakistan ended Day 1 of the first Test against South Africa on a commanding 313 for 5, thanks to a fine 93 from Imam-ul-Haq and key contributions from Shan Masood (76), Mohammad Rizwan (62), and Salman Agha (52).

Haq and Masood put on 161 for the second wicket after Kagiso Rabada struck early to dismiss Abdullah Shafique for a duck. The pair dominated until South Africa’s spinners turned things around. Prenelan Subrayen trapped Masood lbw, and Senuran Muthusamy removed Haq and Saud Shakeel in back-to-back deliveries before tea, reducing Pakistan from 163 for 1 to 199 for 5.

Babar Azam’s dismissal for 23 to Simon Harmer deepened the slump. However, Rizwan and Agha counterattacked in the final session with an unbroken 114-run stand, steering Pakistan to safety on a turning Gaddafi Stadium pitch.

Haq, playing his first Test since 2023, was disappointed to fall seven short of a century but insisted Pakistan are well placed, targeting a total beyond 400. South Africa’s bowlers rued missed chances, having dropped Haq on 72 and Masood on 61.

Harmer said the visitors aim to wrap up Pakistan’s innings quickly on Day 2, aware the surface will assist spinners later. The match marks the beginning of a new World Test Championship cycle, with South Africa defending their title after defeating Australia in June.

PAK vs SA Live Score, 1st Test Match Day 2: Pakistan finished the opening day of the first Test against South Africa in Lahore at a strong 313 for 5, riding on a superb 93 from Imam-ul-Haq and solid fifties from Shan Masood (76), Mohammad Rizwan (62), and Salman Agha (52).

After a strong start led by Haq and Masood’s 161-run second-wicket stand, Pakistan suffered a mini-collapse, slipping from 163 for 1 to 199 for 5 as South Africa’s spinners fought back.

Senuran Muthusamy dismissed both Haq and Saud Shakeel in successive deliveries, while Simon Harmer trapped Babar Azam leg-before soon after tea. Rizwan and Agha then steadied the innings with an unbeaten 114-run partnership on a pitch offering turn. Haq, returning to the Test side after nearly a year, expressed disappointment at missing a hundred but was pleased with Pakistan’s position.

South Africa, led by spinners Muthusamy, Harmer, and Subrayen, will look to restrict Pakistan below 400 on Day 2, knowing the pitch will deteriorate further. Earlier, Kagiso Rabada had struck early, removing Abdullah Shafique for a duck. The two-match series is part of the new World Test Championship cycle, with South Africa entering as reigning champions.
