South Africa v Pakistan, 1st Test Day 2 LIVE Updates: After failing to put up a strong first innings total, Pakistan will be relying on their bowling attack to dismiss hosts South Africa cheaply in the first Test of the two-match series at Centurion. After restricting Pakistan to 211, courtesy a five-wicket haul by Dane Paterson, South Africa ended Day 1 on 82/3, with opener Aiden Markram and skipper Temba Bavuma at the crease. In-form batters Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs were dismissed cheaply, with Khurram Shah taking two wickets. The test holds enormous value, as victory in the series would guarantee South Africa a spot in the World Test Championship (2025) final. (LIVE SCORECARD)
Pakistan batter Babar Azam made history in Centurion by becoming only the third player to score over 4,000 runs in all three formats of the game.

On one hand, he cemented his place in cricketing history, but on the other, he failed to make a significant contribution to Pakistan's innings. Despite his calibre, Babar edged a delivery to Aiden Markram at second slip, departing for a disappointing 4-run knock.
