South Africa Dominate on Day 2

Ryan Rickelton scored his maiden double century in Test cricket, helping South Africa extend their dominance over Pakistan. The hosts amassed 113 runs in the morning session despite losing one wicket, and are now 429/5 at lunch.

Rickelton and Kyle Verreyne stitched an unbeaten 106-run partnership, with Verreyne also scoring a half-century. The pitch was slightly on the browner side, but the batters were able to play their shots consistently.

The match saw a few moments of drama, including a DRS appeal for LBW that was overturned in favor of Verreyne. The hosts then broke the shackles open in the 91st over, with Rickelton pulling one for four and Verreyne hitting a six in the following over.

Brief Scores:

  • South Africa: 429/5 (Ryan Rickelton 213*, Kyle Verreyne 50; Mohammad Abbas 2-70, Salman Ali Agha 2-77)
  • Pakistan
