Pakistan were bowled out for 378 runs in their first innings of the opening Test against South Africa, despite strong half-centuries from Imam-ul-Haq, Shan Masood, Mohammad Rizwan, and Salman Agha.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After being put into bat, Pakistan made a steady start but suffered an early blow when Abdullah Shafique was trapped lbw by Kagiso Rabada for just 2 runs.<\/p>\n

Captain Shan Masood (76 off 147 balls) and Imam-ul-Haq (93 off 153) built a crucial second-wicket partnership of 161 runs, stabilizing the innings with disciplined stroke play.<\/p>\n

However, after both batters fell in quick succession, the middle order faltered briefly as Babar Azam (23) and Saud Shakeel (0) departed cheaply.<\/p>\n

Rizwan and Salman steer Pakistan past 350<\/h2>\n

Mohammad Rizwan and Agha Salman then took control, adding a crucial 150-run partnership for the sixth wicket.<\/p>\n

Rizwan made a well-crafted 75 off 140 balls with two sixes, while Salman Agha impressed with a brilliant 93 off 145 balls, including five fours and three sixes.<\/p>\n

Their partnership helped Pakistan recover from 199\/5 to 362\/6 before the lower order collapsed quickly.<\/p>\n

Muthusamy\u2019s magical spell turns the game<\/h2>\n

South African left-arm spinner Senuran Muthusamy emerged as the star of the innings, taking six wickets for 117 runs in 32 overs, including three in a single over that dismantled Pakistan\u2019s tail.<\/p>\n

He dismissed Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan, Noman Ali, Sajid Khan, Shaheen Afridi, and Agha Salman, finishing with the best figures of his Test career.<\/p>\n

Prenelan Subrayen supported well, claiming 2 wickets for 78, while Rabada and Harmer picked up one each.<\/p>\n

Pakistan\u2019s lower order falters<\/h2>\n

The final five wickets fell for just 16 runs, with Noman Ali, Sajid Khan, and Saud Shakeel failing to score.<\/p>\n

Shaheen Afridi contributed 7 runs, while Hasan Ali remained not out on 0 as the innings folded at 378 in 110.4 overs.<\/p>\n

At stumps on Day 1, Pakistan had reached 313\/5, with\u00a0Rizwan (62)<\/em>* and\u00a0Salman (52)<\/em>* at the crease before resuming on Day 2 and eventually being bowled out early in the first session.<\/p>\n

South Africa will now look to capitalize on the conditions and Pakistan\u2019s inconsistent bowling attack when they begin their first innings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
