Masood, who played a captain’s knock of 145, was trapped LBW by Kwena Maphaka, reducing Pakistan to 329/5. Salman Ali Agha and Mohammad Rizwan fought back with an 88-run partnership, taking Pakistan beyond South Africa’s total, but Rizwan’s dismissal for 41 triggered another collapse. Salman fell for 48, leaving Pakistan at 441/7. Mir Hamza and Aamer Jamal added 37 runs for the eighth wicket, but Jamal fell to Maharaj, leaving Pakistan at 478/8.
