He and Alam shared a stand of 102 for the seventh wicket. Debutant Nauman Ali was 6 not out and Hasan Ali, who was bowled by Keshav Maharaj off a no-ball late in the day, was unbeaten on 11. Pacer Kagiso Rabada took two wickets in a devastating new-ball burst late on day one, but remains one shy of 200 Test scalps. He bowled probing lines without reward and was economical, missing out on reaching the landmark when captain De Kock dropped Fawad in the 90s.
