The Proteas gained a 90-run first-innings lead, with a half-century from Aiden Markram at the top (89 in 144 balls, with 15 fours) and a terrific unbeaten 81* in 93 balls, including 15 fours, by Corbin Bosch, taking them to 301. Khurram Shahzad (3/75) and Naseem Shah (3/92) were the pick of the bowlers for Pakistan.
