2nd Test: Masood, Shafique Anchor Pakistan To 259 For 5 On Opening Day In Rawalpindi
Shan Masood Abdullah Shafique: Shan Masood’s fluent 87 and Abdullah Shafique’s composed 57 guided Pakistan to 259 for 5 on the opening day of the second Test against South Africa in Rawalpindi after the hosts opted to bat first on a slow and lifeless surface.
The pair shared a solid 111-run stand for the second wicket to put Pakistan in control, while South Africa’s bowlers, led by Keshav Maharaj, toiled hard but were let down by poor fielding.
The track in Pindi offered little for the bowlers, with no significant spin early on and only occasional low bounce. Pakistan’s approach was measured, with the run rate staying below three-an-over throughout, as they focused on building partnerships and preserving wickets on a pitch expected to get tougher as the game progressed.
