Pakistan Vs South Africa, 1st Test Day 3: PAK Set 277-Run Target, SA Lose Two Early Wickets

Day 3 of the 1st Test saw South Africa resuming on 216/6. Tony de Zorzi scored a gritty century before falling for 104, giving Noman Ali a five-wicket haul. He finished with 6 for 112 as South Africa were all out for 269, trailing by 109. Pakistan’s second innings started shakily as Imam fell for 0, and Masood, Shafique, and Babar Azam followed despite flashes of resistance. Babar’s dismissal sparked a collapse as Pakistan lost 7 for 48, ending on 190. Muthusamy took 4 wickets. Chasing 277, South Africa lost early wickets to Noman again, but de Zorzi and Ryan Rickelton steadied the innings. At stumps, South Africa were 51/2 in their second innings, still 226 runs behind.
