Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the third day of the second Test between Pakistan and South Africa at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Wednesday (October 22, 2025). The Proteas ended day two at 185/4, still trailing by 148 runs to Pakistan's score of 333.
More importantly, the visitors have Tristan Stubbs (68 not out) at the crease alongside Kyle Verreynne (10 not out) as they look to hatch out a plan for the Proteas and get closer to the Pakistan total.
The hosts lead the series 1-0 and are eyeing a 2-0 sweep, with the Proteas eager to level it instead with a victory in the final Test.
Pakistan captain Shan Masood won the toss and elected to bat first against South Africa.
