South Africa dominate Pakistan in second Test

South Africa continued their dominance over Pakistan in the second Test at Newlands on Saturday, leaving the visitors facing a daunting task to avoid defeat.   

Kyle Verreynne, who scored a century, and Ryan Rickelton, who registered a double century, powered South Africa to a mammoth first-innings total of 615. 

Pakistan, in reply, reached 64-3 at stumps, still facing a significant deficit.   

Rickelton, who batted for over ten hours, scored 259 runs, while Verreynne contributed 100 runs in a crucial partnership.   

Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen picked up early wickets for South Africa, leaving Babar Azam and his team with a mountain to climb.

With a substantial lead and three days remaining in the Test, South Africa are well-positioned to secure another victory and maintain their impressive form in Test cricket.
