Pakistan sought to launch a fightback on the second day of the final Test as South Africa continued racking up huge scores on Saturday.
Ryan Rickelton struck a career-best unbeaten 176 and his captain Temba Bavuma scored 106 as South Africa pummelled Pakistan’s seamers at Newlands to finish the first day on 316 for four on Friday.
The pair put on 235 in 53.5 overs for the fourth wicket after Pakistan had picked up three scalps late in the first session, but then toiled after lunch under the baking hot sun in Cape Town.
Rickelton resumed the second day with David Bedingham, unbeaten on four. However, Bedingham was dismissed early on, with Kyle Verreynne coming to the pitch.
The left-handed opener was elevated from the number three position due to an injury to Tony de Zorzi, and took his chance to score a second Test century after his first against Sri Lanka last month.
