On the second day of first cricket test against South Africa at Karachi, Pakistan lost four batsmen and able to score 56 in the first session
Pakistan were in trouble at 33 for four at the close of play, having bowled out the visitors for 220 — their second-lowest total in the country.
Batting first, South Africa were all out at 220 runs.
Fourteen wickets fell on the brownish National Stadium pitch, which had been expected to take spin from day one.
South Africa were well placed at 108-2 soon after lunch, but lost their last eight wickets for just 112 runs — barely managing to overhaul their lowest total in Pakistan, the 214 made at Faisalabad in 1997.
Spinners Yasir Shah (3-54), debutant Nauman Ali (2-38) and pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi (2-49) did the damage.
But then Rabada paid back the hosts with interest, bowling Abid Ali (four) in his third over and then getting debutant Imran Butt (nine) caught at leg-slip off a rising delivery. He now has 199 wickets from 44 Tests.
Babar Azam, leading Pakistan for the first time in a Test, fell lbw to spinner Keshav Maharaj for seven before night watchman Shaheen was bowled by Anrich Nortje without scoring.
At the close, Azhar Ali and Fawad Alam were unbeaten on five each – with Pakistan trailing by 187 runs with six wickets intact.
