Previously on the day, 16 goal fallen, when the sprockets were prospering again on a dry surface offering variable reflection. South Africa continued at 216 at 6, but during the first hour of the game it was omitted to 269, which handed over Pakistan a handy lead 109. Noman Ali and Sajid Khan did not change from the beginning, with a 62 ninan ninth goal in just 20 tests Sajid.

In his second shifts, Pakistan was reduced to 36 to 2 at lunch, but in the second meeting he gathered and scored almost four runs. Captain Babar Azam, under pressure from lean runs in tests, highest with 42 and added a valuable 55-run stand with Saud Shakeel (38).

Pakistan expanded his lead to 259, but their hopes for setting the overall victory in the match were dramatically interrupted. Muthusamy struck just before tea, the tempting Shakeel into a large shot, and from there the hosts collapsed and lost the last six goals on just 17 runs.
Muthusamy ended up with the characters 5 for 57, completed the 114-quarter match with South African Spinner in the test history. Simon Harmer provided excellent support with 4 for 51 when the couple went through a Pakistani line -up in just 46.1 overs.
Despite its fine bowling performance, South Africa now faces a strict test test. Since the playground continues to deteriorate and Pakistani spinning, especially the 39 -year -old Nomanian Ali, the Proteas will have to hold their nerve and bat with the discipline on the fourth day to withdraw historical persecution.
