South Africa trail Pakistan’s first-innings total of 333 by 48 runs with two wickets remaining as they look to level the two-match series.
Senuran Muthusamy and Keshav Maharaj were batting on 48 and 23 respectively at the break, having added a 50-run stand for the ninth wicket.

South Africa resumed the day on 185-4 and added 100 runs in the morning session.

Asif completed his five-wicket haul by trapping Simon Harmer leg-before for two, while Noman Ali dismissed Marco Jansen in the same manner for 12.
