Kagiso Rabada and Senuran Muthusamy delivered outstanding performances, leading South Africa to a remarkable comeback against Pakistan on Day 3 of the second Test. Their last-wicket partnership turned the tables after Asif Afridi's historic five-wicket haul in his debut Test.

Pakistan's left-arm spinner Afridi took six wickets, becoming the oldest debutant to achieve a five-wicket haul. Despite Afridi's impressive feat, South Africa's tailenders reversed fortunes, establishing a 71-run lead. Rabada and Muthusamy's aggressive batting dismantled Pakistan's bowling attack.

Pakistan, trailing by 94-4 in the second innings, saw resistance from Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. As South Africa seeks to level the series, this first Test's final day promises an intense finish on a spin-friendly pitch.
