South Africa vs Pakistan Live Score:
Hello and Welcome to our coverage of Day 2 of the second Test between South Africa and Pakistan taking place at the Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town on Saturday.
The hosts will look to extend their first-innings score with Ryan Rickelton going strong at 176. A double-century could be on the cards and even more, considering that the Pakistan bowling unit is struggling to find momentum.
South Africa’s dominance will be expected to continue but the Pakistan bowlers can find themselves in the hunt should they be able to strike early on to turn the tides.
