But Senuran Muthusamy had other ideas. Having not bowled much in the first innings, the left-hander showed why he was more than just handy with the bat as he scored an unbeaten 89. What was the highlight of South Africa's comeback was the resilience shown by the lower-order batters. Senuran Muthusamy and Keshav Maharaj struck a 71-run partnership with Keshav Maharaj (30) and went on to add 98 with Kagiso Rabada, who too played a sensational 71-run knock that came off 61 balls with four fours and as many sixes. Despite coming out to bat as a number 11, Kagiso Rabada's shots down the ground and through the covers wowed the commentators and spectators and were reminiscent of the shots that a top-order batter would have played.

Pakistan conceded a 71-run lead to South Africa and the Proteas showed why they were the world Test champions as they reduced the hosts to 94/4. Pakistan have a 23-run lead and have Babar Azam (49*) and Mohammad Rizwan (16) at the crease and the two experienced cricketers would look to make an impact with a partnership that would help Pakistan post a total of some substance. South Africa, on the other hand, will eye early wickets and hope to restrict Pakistan to as low a score as possible.
